Benefits of Having a Chronic Betch Face

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Holy Cross chapter.

You know who you are.  People think you’re scary, and mean, and just a betch.  Hey, maybe you are, I’m not judging; but, it’s all a consequence of the infamous “betch face.”  Your stare is harsh, your expression is minimal, your candids contain an eye roll, and your smile is AWOL, you’ve got a chronic betch face.  TRUST ME, it’s nothing to be ashamed of.  So what if people think you’re a cold and heartless witch?  If you ask me that’s better than being a spineless and weak pushover.  So, keep those lips pursed, don’t crack a smile, and read about all the benefits your betch face gives ya.
