I need creative ideas!
For my Sociology class we have to break a social norm. For example: wearing fake super long fingernails, or dying your hair.. etc.. I have to do this for 5 days. Can anyone come up with some really creative ideas!? :D thanks! Oh and btw im a girl, so keep that in mind as well!

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
The thing I ended up doing when I took that class was eating all food with no utensils, whether at home, in a restaurant, etc. Go to an Italian restaurant, order spaghetti, then dig in with your hands and enjoy. Your server and fellow diners will be mortified, but what can they really do or say? "Umm, ma'am, here's a fork..." "NO THANKS MOAR WATER PLZ"
It was great fun seeing the reactions of others.

the only one that I can think of that wouldn't be permanently damaging would be to not shower and dress like a bum for a week. really get into it, like using crumpled newspapers stuffed in your shirt to keep warm, have a sign that says something like "Need money for heroin", the works. consider getting a headless doll that you could have long philosophy conversations with, scavenge through the school recycleable dumpster for a cardboard house, there are so many things that you could do!

Shave your head.
I know, that might a bit intense/permanent for you, but I was having a conversation with a bunch of 20-30 year old women a week ago, many of whom had shaved their heads at some point, either by choice, or for charity or because of illness, and each of them talked about what a drastic, life-affirming thing it was. It really made them get in touch with their own self-confidence and self love, as well as (a few of them felt) feeling a bit bare or exposed made them feel more friendly and courageous in new situations. Each girl mentioned how, at times in her life, she has ‘hid’ behind her hair, and what an experience was like to have it not there anymore.
So that would be my suggestion, although I’m sure it’s pretty daunting, even if you don’t do it for this project, at some point in your life, give it a try. It’s can be an unexpected but powerful journey of self discovery.
