e released. Laura would give anything right now to have a life worth living for. A degree in Economics, she really can't count how many times a day she throws herself a pity party. Working two-not so fun- jobs. no friends, a sorry excuse of a boyfriend and a dry bank account. At least I'm not pregnant. "Thank you Harry."
