All Beard Things Must Come to an End

When I hit puberty about three years ago, I decided two very important things. 1. I need to try and graduate college in under 10 years. 2. I will never, ever grow a beard. Apologies to my brethren, but red beards are a terrible idea for 99% of gingers. But because I’m a man of [...]
