"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love" - Albus DumbledoreHi, 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
I'm a 18 year old college kid with no income and I can't afford to pay $50+ every month for brand name BC pills. I was wondering if anyone is taking a generic brand for Loestrin 24 Fe and how it is (Any negative side effects, weight gain, etc.) and what the name for it is.
If not for Loestrin 24, just any generic brand BC pills (name please)
Thanks =]
Peeps' answer basically said it all. I'll just add that, from personal experience, it doesn't matter if it's brand name or not, what matters is what pill works best for you. One of my friends reacted oddly to every brand name but loves a generic; I was switched to a generic and started showing symptoms of depression. The "ideal" pill won't give you crazy mood swings, will regulate your period like it's supposed to, etc.
Also, does your college have you on some semblance of a health insurance plan? Check it out- you might already be paying for it. They can write you prescriptions & your copay will likely be cheaper there, unless PP charges based on income (I honestly have no idea how that part works sorry).

(Rating: 5) We are all under our own insurance plan, so if I get BC pills using my parents insurance, it will show up on the statement.
