You see, I'm the opposite. I say "It is what it is" all the time as a way of accepting that a situation can't and shouldn't be approached from a perspective of correcting it and to just deal with it. "Such is life" and "C'est La Vie" not only sounds pretentious to me, but feels more defeatist, at least from the people I tend to hear it from.

I think most people have a phrase they use in a similar way. I tend to gravitate towards What can you do? as a rhetorical question when its clear that you can do fuck all about something so its best to accept it and move on.
