"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?

advice

why do some stores when they sell clothes, they use a permanent marker to cross out the brandname? usually these stores are not the original sellers of the brand, is that why?

Actually, stores like Marshalls, TJMaxx, etc, they get clothes from other retailers for many reasons: damages, defects, last season, overstock. Typically a line is drawn so that you know it's not brand new, and the company sometimes does it right after it's made. I saw Abercrombie jeans with a stamp on the label there once. It said defective or damaged, i don't remember.


It's not a big deal. The clothes are still okay to wear and everything.
