A university student has left social media in stitches after recounting her comical first attempt at shaving while away from home.
In a viral post, the lady detailed how she naively assumed shaving would be straightforward — until reality hit. “Even hair has rules?” she exclaimed, summing up the confusion and chaos that followed.
According to her, what should have been a quick grooming session turned into a series of mishaps. From accidentally nicking herself to struggling with angles and techniques she’d never learned at home, the experience quickly spiraled into a full-blown comedy of errors.
“I thought I could just ‘go for it,’” she laughed. “Next thing I know, I’m panicking, there’s shaving cream everywhere, and I can’t figure out which way the hair grows!”
The post resonated with thousands of students who admitted to similar first-time struggles with personal grooming at university. Many commenters shared their own horror stories — from uneven results to outright disasters — turning the thread into a hilarious exchange of relatable experiences.
Some even joked that universities should offer a “how-to-shave” 101 class for incoming students, highlighting the universal truth that adulting often comes with unexpectedly funny lessons.
For the young lady, the takeaway was simple: shaving isn’t as easy as it looks — and sometimes, even hair comes with rules you have to learn the hard way.
