Even more surprising was the fact that I recognized one of the students as an old high school friend. I sat next to her and started a conversation that was about a year and a half overdue. That's nothing more than a reminder from the past. If you want to offend me, remind me that I still have not yet fully matured. Mention facial hair.
Most guys seem to be able to grow full-length beards effortlessly.
I am in a very different situation. Maybe it means that I just got in a big rush trying to grow up and forgot about facial hair. If this is the case, then I may wake up one morning and find that overnight, in an effort to compensate for years of neglect, I've grown a full beard. I hope this never happens because I wouldn't have time to shave before my first class. Or maybe my whole lack of facial hair signifies a bigger issue, namely that I have not finished puberty yet.
