BEARD VS. GIRLFRIEND 2016

Over the last two months of my girlfriend being in another country I decided to grow out my facial hair and to change physically and mentally. I lost a few pounds, grew a few inches, and grew a small pubic like beard - Amanda Emily Delaplaine. This beard means a lot to me because it is a huge achievement in my growing life. My girlfriend believes partying in college is part of the experience, and with that, I believe growing facial hair in highschool is also part of the experience. Keep the beard, or shave it?
