Anyone that has seen Cillian Murphy can agree that the man has a creepy attractiveness to him that is very difficult to explain. Mostly well-known for playing characters that always look like they are absolutely done with the world's bullshit, Murphy's most perfect, deadpan looks have come from his role in "Peaky Blinders" as Thomas Shelby, a British war hero and head of the gang that shares the same name as the show title. Truly the father and king of resting bitch face and deadpan humor, Cillian Murphy's face is often as stiff as a log while his eyes are as deep and as cold as the bottom of the sea. For that reason, I chose him to represent daily moments in life when a perfect, iconic bitchy resting face is key for today's average college student.
1. Getting a burst of energy to clean but wasting it on looking through a box of old stuff. This ultimately ends in making a bigger mess than was present in the first place. Eventually, you just end up sitting in the midst of the destruction you have caused.
2. Getting to a shopping center at a certain time to avoid waiting. You made it to the store at a strategic time, only to find out that everyone else and their moms had the same idea.
3. Dressing for certain weather only to look silly for a majority of the day. You know it's going to rain in the morning, but it's going to be sunny the next time you come outside. So you debated just wearing normal shoes or keeping them in your bag for later. Really, #firstworldproblems are so annoying.
4. Buying something unique only for it to become a trend soon after. Well, that lasted for all of five seconds.
5. Devoting your time to reading a novel only for it to have a less than ideal resolution. Some stories are just better with untied endings.
6. When it's too hot outside but freezing inside most buildings. Or vice versa depending on the season.
7. When you're stuck at a pep rally or required school function. More specifically, when everyone seems to be having fun but all you want to do is go back to your dorm or apartment and nap.
8. When people ask you how you are doing halfway through Spring semester. I'm doing great and struggling none whatsoever at adulting.
9. When you don't do very well on an exam. Especially if you actually studied for it.
10. When someone talks bad about your best friend. Or, in Thomas Shelby's case, his mother. Although, your average college student doesn't carry razor blades in their cap.
11. When you are asked if you like to party. Your general response goes a lot like this.
