My entire life I've skipped preheating my oven. If it says do it for 20 mins I just do it for 24-25 mins instead and skip preheating it! Ive never gotten ill from doing this and it always seems to come out fine but now I'm just wondering. Ik this method can make the food have a worse texture but in terms of food safety does it change anything?

(Also asking BC when I searched it on Google it said that it's unsafe because preheated ovens are crucial for blasting off bacteria????)

People ik and people online seem to all be doing the story for q5 and are SET on it, is there an actual reason why or is it just what people prefer more?! Like does writing a story get u more marks or smth? I have practiced trying to write a story so many times and I CANNOT do it I just have no inagination ig but then I do the description and it's gorgeous

Praying I don't have to write a story

So I won't be able to have a prom this year, and I've missed school parties for other years too, so I've never really had the chance to have a "prom" type thing. It's BC I'm homeschooled so I don't have a place to go to prom unfortunately. It just kinda makes me envious and a bit sad seeing other teens get really excited for prom and showing their dresses and like their makeup and stuff... I was even sad on leavers day BC I didn't get the experience of people signing my shirt or anything. I'm not sad about the fact I'm homeschooled though, it changed me for the better, but obviously missing out on stuff like that makes me a tad sad. I'm just hoping there will be some kinda party/prom type thing in college when I go, just so I can experience it once. On leavers day I tried to completely stay off social media so I wouldn't have to see anyone's leavers story's or anything, and I guess I'll do the same for prom.
