9 Reasons Your RBF Isn't The Worst Thing

RBF keeps you pretty #sorrynotsorry

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more. Girls with RBF get judged to be mean and rude much quicker than the girl who is always smiling. It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

1. Your face hides all emotions and sticks to a look that could burn a hole through someone.

Sometimes you have to work for things, other times you can just glide through your day with no bothers.

2.It makes people think you have higher expectations and standards.

Meaning that when you go to get your hair cut or your nails done, the people that are working on you, try a little harder on you than the girl that’s smiling all the time. Why? They’re nervous of what could come from messing up.

3.Your smile holds a lot more meaning than the girl who walks around with a pleasant grin.

When people see you smile, they know it's genuine and not fake. They think that whatever's got her smiling, must be the worth it.

4.You become better at reading people

This also makes you better at communicating since you yourself have to try extra hard to make anything you say seem genuine especially when you're trying to say something nice. You become more self aware and teach yourself how not to let your face or someone else's face define something but rather let the words you or they say hold the meaning.

5.You're as intimidating as a girl can get and they expect you to be a bitch.

People are less likely to take advantage and walk all over you thanks to your natural face.

6.You never get stopped by strangers asking for directions or guys catcalling.

No one bothers the girl that’s got a permanent icy look on her face. They'd much rather bother the girl who looks too nice and approachable.

7.You come off as more confident.

You look like you always know what you're doing since your face almost always has that cool exterior. It's perfect to become the HBIC.

8.Your face knows of no such things as “smile lines” or “crows feet.”

You'll have better skin in the long run and always look younger.

9.The best part of having a Resting Bitch Face is that you're in the same club as Blair Waldorf, Anna Kendrick, Kristen Stewart, Queen Elizabeth, and Kanye West.

To all those girls out there that consider an RBF a curse, don't. Your face holds a lot of power and you get to experience things that that the girl that's always smiling doesn't get to know about. Take advantage of your moody stare and don't apologize for it.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
