@bblxssom_ Hello! I don't know if I'm the right person to ask, I'm not exactly the most social person. I guess just reaching out and talking? It's helpful to find something you have in common, and then you have something to talk about. I hope this helps!
Little known fact. Parents are issues a ‘how to be annoying’ handbook at the birth of their first child. It is updated periodically by the schools as the kids grow older. Did you think all Dads learn sad jokes on their own? Nope, handbook.
And essays just suck. Teachers love them because they can assign them and then nap for a few days while the students work, then just assign random grades to them.
