It seems like you've done a lot

There are times that I think back on my academic life, and realize how much smoother it all could have gone. I could have taken many more college classes while I was in high school , because the classes were free. I took two computer classes, one math class, and intro to Psych. I think sometimes of how I should've taken freshman English or world civ. A higher math classes. Biology. Things that every freshman must take. If I had gone to college immediately and stayed in, I would have been out by 2006. 2005, even, if I had taken all those transfer classes in high school.

Alternatively you can mix a couple common household products and slap that on your face for the same effect. True story. Inspired by Michelle Phan/Rice Bunny , I decided to make my own pore strips. It's not really so much of a strip. It's more like a mask. Ingredients: Okay, so I used Knox flavorless gelatin. You can get a box with four packets at Walmart for around $1.50 (at least that was the price here). Then I got a small thing of milk. We don't drink a lot of milk. I also picked up a Walmart brand duo foundation/concealer brush for ar
