We all remember our emo phase. It was a time of amazing, head-banging music and intense feelings. There were the scene haircuts that everyone was obsessed with and the insane amount of eyeliner that was as dark as your mood. No other phase in your life was as memorable as your emo phase. We all felt misunderstood and perhaps even sad most of the time. But there was nothing like the quality punk rock music to get you through these times. Whether you screamed to the top of your lungs with these songs or you just listened to them and wallowed in your sadness, there was a song for everyone going through this infamous phase. They just don't make songs like these anymore.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?
1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.
2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.
3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
4. Having the same conversations over and over again! To be honest I really don't even want to talk to you right now, or have this fake ass smile on my face!
5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!
6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!
7. Having the boss from hell, it's their way or the highway! Even though I did my job correctly and efficiently, if I don't do it the exact way you do, I'm a piece of shit.
8. Having coworker who don't help out, who bend the rules just enough to screw you over.
9. Having to be at work after closing because a customer is taking forever and half! Not like I'd like to go home or anything!
10. Having shitty hours and more shifts than you asked for. Just because we don't have enough workers, doesn't mean I want to pick up every shift that you cant cover, oh great boss of mine!
11. Not having time for a social life. It gets old saying, "I can't I have work..." Every day of the week!
12. Having that lazy costumer who can't do anything for themselves... no please I'll get that, it's no problem at all!
I enjoy my job don't get me wrong... but sometimes all I have to say is IT GETS OLD!

For example, you are never stopped by people in the mall trying to sell you stuff, and it's secretly fun to hear that someone was a little intimidated by you when you first met.
That being said, the downside is that people always think you hate them and social events are tragic because you always looked pissed off or bored. In the end, no matter how extreme your RBF is, you probably encounter/have encountered a handful of these 11 situations.
1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.
But the whole time you talked to them you tried really hard to seem happy and friendly and genuinely thought you pulled it off.
2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.
And you can't help but roll your eyes, which probably doesn't help your case.
3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."
Not like you haven't heard that before. It's expected and doesn't even come as a surprise anymore.
4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.
You smiling 24/7 is way worse than your mean face. Trust me.
5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."
You gave up on trying to convince everyone that it's just your face!
6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.
Whoops. Better go send them an apology text.
7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.
Probably because your face doesn't really signal that you're joking, but you've learned to make it clear you're just kidding by laughing obnoxiously.
8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.
And you think, "maybe that's why people don't talk to me..."
9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.
It's a cold world out there for people with RBF.
10. Your "mad face" scares you.
*shudders*
11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.
"I can't repeat it enough that it is just my face."

1. "Is Elle Woods your spirit animal?"
She could be, but who doesn’t love a self-driven woman with an ambitious mindset to destroy a man, but I digress.
2. "Is that your natural hair color?"
So funny you asked! Actually, my hair is dirty blonde but platinum blonde seems more fitting for me.
3. "Oh wow, you get good grades at school?"
Yes, when I’m not dying my hair I’ll take the occasional trip to the library …
4. "You must really like the color pink!"
Hmmm, think what you want, but black more or less suits me since it matches my soul.
5. "You’re probably not into sports, right?"
*Watches football*
“What inning is this?!”
LOL, just kidding; I’m very into sports and I know the difference between them.
6. "You must have such a bubbly personality."
If you count having a resting bitch face and being completely unapproachable as I hide behind my sunglasses "bubbly," then yes, I have a bubbly personality.
7. "Your wardrobe must consist of all things preppy."
Maybe it would if I was vacationing in Nantucket for the summer; however, I probably own more workout apparel than anything.
8. "What sorority are you in?"
*Rolls eyes so far that they get stuck in the back if your head*
9. "You were probably a cheerleader in high school."
Actually, I played soccer and ran track.
10. "You look like you’re from L.A. because your hair is so light."
I didn’t know geographic locations were defined by hair color! News to me …
11. "You definitely like Pumpkin Spiced Lattes from Starbucks!"
Wrong — you picked the wrong stereotype to assume. I’m a regular at Starbucks thank you very much.
12. "Do you actually think blondes have more fun?"
Probably.
13. "You must encompass the typical “white girl” stereotype."
And if I do…?
14. "Is that daddy’s credit card you’re using?"
No, it’s mine! I work hard for the money.
15. "So all of your friends are blonde too?"
Maybe if they came to the salon with me to dye their hair they would be.
16. "I’m surprised about you; I thought you would be a lot ditsier."
I’m surprised about you, too! I thought you would be a lot smarter.

It really is that bad.
16. When you have to say goodbye
17. And when you finally get to go back
A year at JMU is a wild ride. You'll meet so many new people and experience so many new things. It can and most likely will be overwhelming at first. You want to see and do everything as soon as you get there. Remember, you have all year (four of them in fact) to experience all of the amazing things at JMU. Seize the year and make it special. Find your place, your people, and your passions. Everything will come together when you learn how to utilize all that JMU has to offer and make it a second home.
Remember, your college experience is unique. But there will be many moments in your career at JMU that you'll get to experience with everyone around you . Embrace those shared moments and all they have to offer. Don't overlook the little moments and be adventurous. Find an adventure in the little things. Take pictures and write things down (but don't forget to also live in the moment). When things look down, remember that they'll always come back up. Step outside of your comfort zone. Meet new people, try new things, and be grateful that you go to the very best school.
Go Dukes!
