  • I realize what this post is saying, but it reminded me of a somewhat similar situation. In my high school we had to learn the stems of words and their meanings (I.E. Acro = high; acr = sharp, etc). Our English teachers would give us a list of 15 stems (25 if you took accelerated/advanced English) at the start of the week and then on Friday they would hand out a quick test for us to conplete.
    The idea was you’d look over the list throughout the week and memorize them that way. But instead I would look at the list 5 minutes before the exam, memorize them, take the test, ace it, then forget about them before the class even ended. Worked every time.














  • Younger 30s AMAB here. It’s between shoulder and armpit length now and I love it despite the amount of work it takes now.
    I’ve never had it this long before, mostly out of fear about what others would say, particularly my dad. But shortly before 30, I just decided to say, “fuck it,” and started growing it out. Now after growing it out for the past few years I’ve never felt more like me.
    And the best part? I have received almost nothing but compliments about my hair. I learned to care for it correctly and found out it’s actually pretty curly. I always thought it was just wavy. It makes the ladies jealous and I get to establish my dominance with the best hair in the room.
