Last week, to celebrate five years of HNTFUYF, I had the brilliant idea to give readers a gift: A five day, 50% off sale on subscriptions.

plus, is that hair growth serum working? Welcome readers, old and new! Please tap the ❤️ above if you, like me, believe your high school experience wasn’t the happiest time in your life. 🎁 🎁 🎁 Big news here: HNTFUYF recently celebrated a 5th birthday. I know times are tight and paid subscriptions are a luxury. So to make HNTFUYF subscriptions more affordable, I’m offering $25 annual subscriptions for five days only. The 50% sale is running now until May 31 at midnight EDT.
