Damn, I was hoping to laser all my hair off once I can afford it (I’m also an olive skinned half Mexican)

I’m confused by your comment? The Kardashian sisters are all part Armenian through their dad, who I believe is full Armenian and whose ancestors fled the Armenian Genocide. I would defend Rachel Dolezal too if she were actually half black.

Some advice from a Real Live Teen™: The two really important things my parents got for me as college gifts are a suitcase and a laptop. I already had an old version of both, but I absolutely love my new Macbook Air and Samsung (?) carry on, and I’ve gotten a ton of use out of them. I’m also a musician and I pick up a…

I have (and use) a lot of these. The strawberry huller is my favorite!

I can’t tell you the exact difference but as a tween I loved Limited Too and HATED Justice. I can’t for the life of me remember why. Also Limited Too gave out freebies for good report cards! I used to blow my whole allowance there.

It’s been a while since I read the book but the boy finds her in a town of 1 which is supposed to be poetic or something and she’s mad that he found her and then they make out in a parking lot and he leaves her there.

I’ve never taken Xanax but propranolol is really great for panic attacks. It takes away all the physical symptoms of a panic attack. I think it’s a beta blocker? But my doc prescribed it for panic attacks and I’ll always be grateful.

That was my first thought... this was in Lake Elsinore where my dad works. Bet she didn’t stay for long.

They used to date but now they’re just friends

I think he’s cute. Also brilliant. Totally the type to bring home to parents.

Thank you! :)

That “I choose me” speech was ICONIC

I miss my purple hair! I had to dye it back for my internship this summer which is a total bummer because I feel more myself with purple hair than brown. People with vivid hair color now make me sad... I’m in downtown LA so I see a lot of them

For the first time in a while, I feel really happy. I love my job, I’m back home with my family for the summer, and I’m planning a family vacation to Seattle. I’m kinda waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Wow as someone who is seriously considering going to law school and is doing legal work all summer, this thread is depressing me. I meet a lot of inmates who have horrible public defenders-I hope your dad isn’t one of them.

Sorry to disappoint but the name actually comes from the X-Files, in which Scully had a little dog she named Queequeg. It’s an ode to Moby Dick, of course.

Teen here! My mom made me wait until I was 14 or 15 to get a Facebook and I’m not even allowed to put a personal photo as my profile pic or my full last name. I was the last of my friends to get Facebook and my mom has my password, which I’m grateful for now. A lot of my friends post pictures of themselves drinking at…

Me too, but I eat it anyway. Some things are just worth it. Also, Lactaid pills.

Agreed! Did you know a 00 now is the same as a size 13 in 1955? There is a lot of vitriol directed at skinny people but the fact is, it’s always been really hard for me to find clothes in normal stores. I used to buy most of my pants in vintage stores.

Morgan was pretty decent but Wambach is old. I love her and I’m happy to see her end her career on a high note but yeah it’s time for her to retire.
