"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love" - Albus Dumbledore

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm a senior in college & I'm slowly deciding what I want to do with my life. I love Harry Potter, coffee, writing, and sleeping (amongst other things). I'll never claim to know everything, but I'm confident in my ability to help people with their problems. Feel free to send me an inbox question; I'll get back to you!




A few thoughts I've gathered from my teenage years (and being on this site for most of them!):
1. If you Google song lyrics, the song will come up 99% of the time.
2. Dress to fit your body type, and buy the size that fits. If you're a size 6, squeezing into a 4 won't make you look skinnier. It makes you look fat when you aren't.
3. You will never regret waiting to lose your virginity.
4. There is such a thing as a stupid question, but we're all allowed to ask them.

wicked awesome conversations

^my forum, liven it up a little?

I have heard stories about there being some lore about a tree on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill. It seems to vary from the school burning if the tree falls to couples that sit under such tree will get married. Does anyone know anything about the myths. I would just like to know what the "official" myth is.

Also, if you know anything about a Silent Sam myth. That info would be appreciated as well.

Look for the heading "Sweet Carolina". There's a paragraph about the tree, as well as drinking out of a well.


Silent Sam:
"The University of North Carolina has a statue memorial for UNC alumni who died fighting for the Confederacy in the Civil War. The statue is a bronze soldier named Silent Sam. Legend has it that the soldier will shoot his rifle if a virgin passes by."

Bottom of the page. There's a lot of virgin myths =)


Oh, and at URI, students call a cannon on the grounds the "Virgin Cannon" meaning that it'll fire when a virgin graduates from that college. And it's never gone off. Same kind of thing =D
