You're Only Insecure If My Resting Bitch Face Intimidates You

It's easy to slap a label on somebody based on how they look from across the room, but what's harder is actually getting to know people past a superficial thing like that.

Resting Bitch Face

My whole life has been filled with people misinterpreting my face.

It's honestly one of the most annoying things that I deal with on a constant basis. Whether it's a fellow colleague wondering if I hate them, or my parents thinking I'm not listening to them, there's always somebody claiming that my face is hurting their agenda.

Apparently, me having a resting bitch face is the end of your world. That's sad. You call me "unapproachable," (like that's my problem) yet people are non-stop approaching me about one thing or another.

I like to think that my face is almost like a superpower. It deters people that can't handle me, and brings forward the people who can. Nobody needs somebody in their life who doesn't (make effort to) understand them on a deeper level than their facial expressions.

On the flip side, you can read my face like a book. My resting bitch face has small tendencies that people closest to me can read. Am I annoyed? Probably. Am I stressed? Yeah, usually. Am I happy? 90% of the time you wouldn't have to ask this question if I was. But of course, to the people who walk in and out of my life, some people don't take the time to look past that face.

It's easy to slap a label on somebody based on how they look from across the room, but what's harder is actually getting to know people past a superficial thing like that.

I'm sad for the people who can't accept the whole me because most likely they can't accept many people at all. Every person, and how they express themselves, is completely unique and that is the best blessing. It hurts my heart to know that some people can't see the beauty of each expression, or lack thereof. People like that are really missing out on not only me but on other people who have so much more to offer behind their facial expressions.

Luckily for me, I really don't care. I'm 100% satisfied with myself and despite my resting bitch face, I get shit done. I have amazing friends. I have multiple incredible jobs. I'm a leader, friend, fiance, and cat-mom. What are you?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
