Leave your door open or closed — whichever makes you feel more comfortable. Leave a light on as you try to fall asleep. Find ways to self-soothe.

If you're treating a stain on a piece of fabric or clothing, stretch the fabric over a large bowl. Position the stain in the center and wrap a rubber band around the outside of the bowl to hold the fabric in place. Bring a kettle of water to a boil and slowly pour the hot water through the stain and into the bowl.  The hot water can loosen the stain and force it out of the fabric. If you're cleaning a fabric stain on a couch, you'll need to remove the cover or cushion to get to the stain. Get out a small bowl and pour in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of gentle dishwashing liquid. Stir in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of hydrogen peroxide until it's combined. Apply the solution to the stain and let it just soak in for 20 minutes. Once the stain looks like it's lifting, wash the material in the washing machine. Only use the brightening dish soap solution on light fabrics since it can lighten dark fabrics. Another way to lift stubborn stains is to coat the stain with white vinegar. Take a few spoonfuls of liquid laundry detergent and rub the soap in. This should loosen the stain. Wash the fabric in hot water to completely remove the stain. If you don't have very many materials to make a deep cleaning solution, just spray club soda mixed with equal parts of white vinegar over the stain. Use paper towels or an old towel to blot up the mixture. You can repeat spraying and blotting until you see the stain lifting.

TL;DR in English: Pour boiling water through the material. Apply a brightening dish soap solution. Apply vinegar and liquid laundry detergent. Spray and blot up a club soda and white vinegar mixture.

If leaving your door open lets in a little light or helps you feel less claustrophobic, for example, then leave your door open to help make your surroundings more comfortable as you try to fall asleep. If closing the door as you fall asleep helps you feel more secure, then leave it closed as you try to fall asleep. Anything you can do to make yourself feel comfortable and safe as you fall asleep will contribute to your ability to fall asleep after seeing a movie that scares you, etc. Scary themes in film, television, etc. are often associated with the dark. If you leave a light on as you try to fall asleep, you can help mitigate your fears and fall asleep more easily. Too much light while you sleep, though, can actually prove detrimental to your health, so it's best not to make a habit of it.  Leave a night light or small lamp on. This may give you reassurance without providing too much light and keeping you awake. A television can provide soft light as you fall asleep too, even if you mute the sound and simply leave the television on for the light it gives off. Think about if there are any items you have or rituals that you find comforting. A lucky rabbit's foot you can rub, for instance, or a favorite blanket or stuffed animal to snuggle. Try petting your dog or cat, or hanging a dream catcher. Or maybe you find the act of making a cup of sleepy time tea and sipping it calming and comforting. Identify these self-soothing behaviors (you may need to experiment a little) and use them to help comfort and calm yourself. If you are spiritual, you could keep something that is part of your religion nearby, such as beside the bed or under your pillow. Some items might include a rosary or crucifix, etc.

Use a sharp paring knife to pierce the spaghetti squash in 10 to 15 places, spacing the cuts evenly apart.  It is very important that you pierce the squash before microwaving it. Otherwise, it could overheat and explode in the microwave. Piercing the squash can be difficult, and you may need to use a forceful, stabbing motion to successfully work the knife through the exterior. Work carefully, however, so that you do not accidentally cut yourself in the process. Do not follow the preparation instructions for cutting the squash. The squash should be soft enough to pierce with a fork when done. If your microwave does not have a rotating turntable inside, rotate the squash 180 degrees after 5 or 6 minutes to make sure that it cooks evenly. You do not need to it to be cool to the touch, but allowing the squash to cool down for a few minutes will give it time to release some of the hottest steam and liquid through the cut marks. Use a sharp knife to cut the squash open lengthwise, from top to bottom.  Wear oven mitts or hold the squash with a towel as you do this. It will still be hot. Cutting the squash open should be very easy. If it isn't, you may need to microwave it for another 2 to 3 minutes. Dig the seeds out with a metal spoon. The stringy pulp connected to the seeds should also come out, but be careful to avoid scraping out strands of flesh.

TL;DR in English: Pierce the squash instead of cutting it. Microwave the squash for 10 to 12 minutes. Let it cool for several minutes. Cut the squash open. Scrape out the seeds.

Once the left and right eye pictures are open, convert them both to grayscale by clicking on the 'Image' menu bar and selecting 'mode' then 'grayscale'. Assign the left eye image red, green and blue channels by going back to the 'Image' menu bar and selecting 'mode' then 'RGB'(the image will still appear gray). Do not repeat this step for the right eye image. Now you are ready to merge the left and right images. To begin, make sure the left eye image is still selected 'Open the channels display menu' by clicking on the 'Window' menu bar and choosing 'channels'. Press the shift key to highlight both at the same time.  An alternative to this step is to use only the blue channel instead of the blue and green when pasting into the left eye image. Important: only the blue and green channels should be shaded blue. At this stage it doesn't matter which boxes to the left of the channels show eyeballs (eyeballs indicate which channels are displayed). Go back to the right eye image, select the whole thing (go to 'Select' menu bar, then press 'all' OR press Ctrl+A) and copy it (go to 'Edit' menu bar, then press 'copy' or press Ctrl+C). Switch back to the left eye image and paste (go to 'Edit' menu bar, then press 'paste' or press Ctrl+V). An eyeball should appear in all four channel boxes. At this point, you should see a blurred red and blue picture. You are almost done. But first the left and right eye images need to be better aligned. Start by highlighting only the red channel in the channels display menu (it should be shaded blue). The next step is crucial because it allows the red-tinted picture to be shifted over while the blue-tinted picture is still visible. Go to the RGB channel and click only on the square box to the left. An eyeball should appear in all four boxes, but only the red channel should be shaded. Pick a point in the center of the picture to match up; for example, if a person is your subject, eye pupils are a good target. Zoom in on the target by selecting the magnifying glass icon in the tool bar...

Hydrogen peroxide may whiten teeth, but you need to use it with caution. To try this method, mix 2 parts of baking soda with 1 part of 1% to 3% hydrogen peroxide to form a paste. Brush your teeth with the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes, then rinse with water.  Make sure you use hydrogen peroxide with a concentration of 3% or less. Brush with hydrogen peroxide and baking soda once a week at most. Stop brushing and rinse your mouth with cool water if you feel a burning sensation. Don’t use this method if you have receding or sensitive gums, as hydrogen peroxide can cause irritation and damage exposed roots. Squeeze your regular toothpaste onto your toothbrush, then sprinkle a pinch of baking soda on top. Brush your teeth as you normally would for 2 minutes with soft, circular motions. Then spit and, if you need to rinse away white residue, swish your mouth with a little water.  As with a baking soda and water paste, brush with baking soda and toothpaste in moderation. Try it every other day for 1 to 2 weeks at first, then brush with baking soda once or twice a week at most. You can also purchase a toothpaste that already contains baking soda. In the United States, look for a product that carries the ADA (American Dental Association) Seal of Acceptance, and use it as directed.  If you have sensitive teeth or dental erosion, avoid using toothpastes that contain baking soda or are branded as whitening products. Combine 1 teaspoon (6 g) of baking soda and 1 cup (240 mL) of water in a glass, then stir the mixture until the baking soda is evenly distributed. Take a sip, gargle for about 30 seconds, then spit out the mixture. Repeat the steps until you’ve finished the entire glass.  The baking soda rinse won't erode your teeth, so it's safe to gargle with it daily. Gargling with a baking soda rinse whitens your teeth indirectly. Baking soda neutralizes acids, so it helps fight dental erosion caused by acidic foods and beverages. It can also help fight bacteria that cause decay and promote good bacteria that create a...

Determining the latitude with the sun can only be done when it is at its highest point. Check your watch or you may use the method of creating a quadrant and placing a stick in the ground, at the very southern end of a north-south line. It’s noon as soon as the shadow of the stick crosses the north-south line. Use a plumb line to ensure that the stick is vertical. A plumb line is exactly as it sounds: a line with any type of plumb attached to it. Gravity will ensure that the plumb creates a vertical line. You may only set up your measurements knowing north and south. Mark north and south with a line running along the ground. Set up a quadrant with its aiming beam parallel to this line. The aiming beam -- or hands of the cross -- should be centered on the support beam-- or body of the cross -- so that it can pivot up and down. There should be 4 nails at the hands of the cross, each only pounded far enough to keep it stable. There should be 2 nails at either end of the face of the cross and 2 nails at either end of the top of the hands of the cross. Center a protractor at the pivot point. Suspend the plumb line also from this pivot point. Once noon, line up the nails on the aiming beam with the sun. Do not look directly at the sun but rather use the shadows of the nails to find the correct position. Move the aiming beam up and down so that the two shadows from the nails move closer together and create a single shadow on the ground. Once the beam is aimed correctly, use the protractor to measure from the vertical plumb line to the portion of the aiming beam closest to it. Keep the horizon at 90 degrees  as you make your measurements. Your reading will only be correct in both the spring and autumn equinoxes that fall on March and September 21 respectively. If you are taking measurements around December 21, or midwinter, subtract 23.45 degrees from your reading. In contrast, add 23.45 degrees if you are taking measurements around midsummer, June 21.  The measurements are not completely accurate, other than spring...

TL;DR in English: Make sure that it is noon. Use a compass to establish north and south. Create a quadrant, or cross, using two pieces of wood. Align the sighting nails of the quadrant with the sun. Use the protractor to measure the small angle between the beam and the plumb line. Understand that the time of year plays into the accuracy of your reading.

Supportive shoes are especially important when you are doing an activity that causes your foot to strike against the ground, such as walking or running. Look for thick-soled shoes that provide a stable base. The shoes should fit well and offer arch support.  It’s best to shop when your feet are sore and puffy, such as at the end of a long workday. This ensures that your shoes won't be too tight. If you can, get your gait analyzed at a running store or your podiatrist’s office. This can help you find the best shoes for you. Orthotic inserts, which don’t require a prescription, are made support your arches and lessen the impact of walking or exercise. They can also prevent injury. You should also use arch inserts and wraps to give extra support to your feet, especially if your shoes don’t have built-in arch support.  You may need to trim some inserts to fit your shoes. If you only buy 1 pair, you’ll need to switch them between pairs of shoes, unless you always wear the same shoes. You may not need inserts for athletic shoes that have good arch support and firm mid-soles. You can find generic orthotics over-the-counter at most department and athletic stores. You can also buy them online. if you are overweight. Carrying extra weight puts a lot of pressure on your feet, especially your arches. This increases your risk for over-pronation. Keep your weight within a healthy weight range for your height to limit your risk.  Eat a healthy, balanced diet and exercise for at least 30 minutes a day.

Keep gum handy to pop a piece in your mouth after you've smoked a cigarette to give yourself minty breath. Along with other methods, chewing gum is the easiest and best way to mask the smell of cigarettes. You might even consider chewing some gum while you smoke and then pop in another piece when you're finished. If you get a chance, brush your teeth before anyone gets the chance to smell you. The smell of breath spray usually wears out quickly, but it's another efficient method, as well as mouthwash. The hand in which you hold your cigarette will have the most lingering smell. Washing them thoroughly is the most practical way of getting the smoke off your hands. Use a strongly-scented liquid soap to get the most effective cleaning. Washing your face with soap and water is also important. Scrub your face quickly as you wash your hands, particularly around your chin and mouth. If you have facial hair, pay particular attention to getting deep in your beard and scrubbing. An alcohol swab, or a big spray of deodorant will do the job, effectively but might also be a conspicuous masking smell. If you're trying to keep people unsuspecting, coming in reeking of cologne might do more harm than good. Instead, just dab a bit of deodorant near your neck. This way people will just think you put on a little bit too much of it, and not that you're trying to cover something. If you have long hair, put it back in a ponytail before smoking and let it down when you're finished. Walk around a bit before you have to be around people, or drive with the windows down to get the smell out naturally. If you have a combing cream, you might consider using it, or other hair products that you usually use. To make your clothes smell like clothes, use fabric sheets, which are made to absorb smells like smoke. Febreeze has a light natural smell that serves a similar function, working to remove the smell rather than merely mask it like a cologne, aftershave, or perfume.  Never keep half-smoked cigarettes or cigarette butts in your pocket....

It’s the map icon labeled “Google Maps.” You’ll usually find it on the home screen.  If you haven’t yet enabled location services or calibrated the compass, you should do so before you continue. In addition to GPS/the compass, Google Maps can also use Wi-Fi and local cell towers to find your location. For the most accurate results, connect to Wi-Fi and/or your cellular data network. It’s on the right side of the map, toward the bottom. Look for a solid gray dot surrounded by a gray circle with 4 directional points. The map will re-center to display your current location as a blue dot surrounded by a lighter blue circle. Within the lighter blue circle is a darker blue beam. This beam is aimed in the direction your phone or tablet is pointing. If the blue dot doesn’t appear or is gray, Google Maps cannot find your location. Make sure location services are enabled, and that you’re connected to either a Wi-Fi or data network. If the location of the blue dot is incorrect, it could be due to physical obstructions between you and cellular towers (such as tall buildings or structures). You may also need to restart your phone or tablet.

TL;DR in English: Open Google Maps on your iPhone or iPad. Tap the location icon. Troubleshoot location issues.

Some of your childhood fears may indicate a predisposition for psychic ability. You might have medium abilities if:  You feared the dark. Often, children with psychic tendencies have a persisting fear of the dark that stems from an unconscious awareness of the supernatural. You also exhibited a persistent unwillingness to sleep in a room alone and may also have had vivid nightmares. If you don’t remember how you used to play as a child, ask your parents or guardians. You might have had some supernatural experiences disguised as play. Some of these experiences include: You had an imaginary friend. Often, adults label the spirits or supernatural being children interact with as “imaginary friends.” If you were extremely interested in religion or understanding meaning as a child, this could be an indication you had a psychic connection. If you showed tendencies toward psychic abilities early:  You asked guardians to take you to religious services or to tell you about different religious beliefs in detail. You engaged in play with objects like a Ouija board or tarot cards. You read children’s books centering around the spiritual or supernatural.

If you are serious about becoming clean of heroin, you must have a friend with you that is really serious about helping you. Educate the person you have chosen for your buddy system. Keep a positive mind even though you feel as though your life is completely over. Remember that the buddy you choose did not do this to you.

One way to win over a snob is to find something that you do agree with or something you do have in common. Maybe it turns out you were both born and raised in Poughkeepsie, New York. Maybe you’re both die-hard Maria Sharapova fans. Maybe you both love making your own pasta. As you spend more time with the snob, dig around conversationally to see if there’s something you can bond over. The snob will begin to see you as a person he shares interests with and will come to think of you as a person of good taste.  If you really do find something you have in common, then you can even impress the snob with your knowledge of the subject. It may take a little digging if you really feel like you and the snob have nothing in common. If you have a mutual acquaintance, see if that person can give you something to work with. Then the next time you see the snob, you can say something like, “I didn’t know you were a Celtics fan, too. Are you from Boston?” Snobs like to stereotype people in order to help them believe that their views are superior. They may have a certain idea about you because you grew up in a working-class neighborhood, went to Harvard, or teach yoga. Though you don’t have anything to prove, if you want to be able to deal with snobby people, sometimes the best thing you can do is to show them that you’re not who they think. It takes time for you to challenge a person’s expectations, but it’ll be worth it. As you help them get to know you, you may find that they’re not who you think, either. Maybe you had a certain idea of the snobby person as being stuck-up, when you’ll learn that the person is really just insecure and afraid of new people. Though it may not be easy, one way to win over a snob is to turn him on to something you know he’ll like. Maybe the person is a pastry snob and you know exactly which boulangerie he’ll like the most; maybe she’s only into indie rock and you make her a CD of Stones hits that you know will do the trick. Make an effort to show the snob that there are other exciting things out...

Have him/her monitor all your phone calls just in case someone tries to call you and try to get you to buy something or your drug dealers calling you to find out why they haven't heard from you. Explain to them the severity of the symptoms included in withdrawal so that they can assist you and continue to help you get through it. Never keep yours feelings bottled up, it will only cause more problems. Make sure that the person that you choose for your buddy system is trustworthy and is sincere about helping you. Make sure that the one you choose is someone that you can talk to about anything in your life and preferably is someone that you have known for many years. So even when you are at your lowest peaks, remember that they do not have to help you and that they chose to do so. Most of all, remember that they have feelings too. And warn them in advance that you are going to be moody and to not take anything you say during withdrawal seriously.

Get in the spirit of the disco era by wearing a variety of fun, bright colors. Don’t worry about your colors clashing or looking too out-of-place—at the disco, all colors are welcome! If you’re feeling especially bold, opt for metallic or sequined clothes to make your outfit sparkle. For instance, try pairing a bright orange, form-fitting crop top with a pair of dark blue bell-bottoms. Go to a disco party in maximum comfort by incorporating spandex into your outfit. You can find Spandex in a variety of different clothing items, including jumpsuits, jeans, and tops. Mix and match until you find the perfect outfit! Viscose rayon is also a great option if you like to wear a lot of patterned fabric. Pay homage to the disco era with a variety of classic symbols on the accessories, such as a peace sign or disco ball. Try to find shirts or other articles of clothing printed with these popular symbols. If you’re feeling especially ambitious, order a cheap disco ball online and bring it to the party! If you want to take a more musical theme with your costume, wear some vintage tees of famous 70s bands like ABBA or the Village People. Look for clothing and accessories that have an element of fringe, or dangly decorations. You can find many vests and boots with fringe, in addition to pants as well as other items of clothing. While not as stereotypical as a jumpsuit or pair of hot pants, fringed clothing and accessories are a great way to add an extra layer of cultural depth to your disco attire. Take advantage of the disco era’s bright and flamboyant fashion style by opting for patterned clothing and accessories. If you’re looking for a more feminine style, choose a shirt or dress with a paisley pattern. If you’d prefer a more retro look, opt for a Hawaiian shirt instead. Animal and floral prints are also great pattern options for a disco costume.

TL;DR in English: Dress up in bright, flashy colors to stand out at the party. Pick clothing made of Spandex to wear something fun and flexible. Choose accessories with classic 70s symbols to embody the disco spirit. Select fringed fabrics for an extra funky vibe. Try on clothing with bright and fun patterns.

You will need a container that is two inches deep and has enough surface area for the amount of greens you want to grow. To save money, keep your old takeout containers for this purpose. You could also use one an old plastic salad container. Make sure the container has holes at the bottom for drainage. If you prefer, you could pick up some propagation trays from your local garden center, which are designed for this purpose. Purchase some quality potting soil from your local home and garden center so that your microgreens have a nutritious environment to grow in. Buy enough soil to completely fill your containers or trays with.  You can also buy some coconut coir to add to the potting mix if you want to improve water retention and air flow. Coconut coir is optional, but can be very beneficial for seed propagation. If using coconut coir, fill each container with three quarters potting soil and one quarter coconut coir. You can also pick up some vermiculite to use at the planting stage. Vermiculite is a mineral that also helps with seed propagation. If you are growing in a warm climate and have lots of light in your house, simply place your tray of microgreens beside a sunny window. However, if you are growing microgreens indoors and do not have much light in your house, you will need a grow light. If you use artificial light, you should place the light four inches above your tray of microgreens. You can use a cheap fluorescent shop light with fluorescent bulbs.  If you have a bit more money, you can use full spectrum fluorescent grow lights. These lights will help your greens grow a little better but are more expensive.  You can also use a four inch T5 CFL grow light. Since microgreens are harvested early, all of the nutrients and any of the pesticides that may be on the seed will be highly concentrated. If your seeds are not organic, they could contain a higher amount of toxins than regular greens. So, you should always purchase organic seeds for microgreens. If you are looking to spice up a salad or sandwich,...

If you're in a hurry, you might not want to make an outline. However, this simple step will save you time in the end. An outline lets you map out your entire essay, start to finish. After that, all you have to do is fill in the gaps.  Figure out the topic sentence, or thesis, of your report. This is the foundation of your entire report. For example, you could write, "Central Park, founded in 1891, is still a hub of activity in the Hillsdale community." Lay out the body of the report. To use the park example, you might have a paragraph discussing historical information, one on ways the park has evolved, and one on the role the park serves in modern times. Summarize your conclusion. Reiterate the point you want to make in your report one more time. The introduction should contain your topic sentence as well as a summary of the arguments you'll be presenting in order to back up your claim. Aim for an introduction that's at least four sentences long. Since this is the beginning of the report, it's your chance to engage readers (or impress your teacher) and give them a taste of what is to come. Take a look at your outline and begin expanding on the points you made. This is your chance to use the research you gathered and the ideas you brainstormed early in the process. Each paragraph in the body of your report should be at least four or five sentences long. More importantly, it should contain substantial information backed with good examples and facts that you have researched.  Never copy source material word for word. You should always paraphrase, or summarize, the information in your own words. Many teachers require that a report have at least three body paragraphs in addition to the introduction and conclusion. Each paragraph should build on the last, leading to the conclusion. If you're having trouble setting up your paragraphs, consider this format: make a statement, back it up with two examples, and make another statement to reinforce your point. Even though you'll be reiterating the information you've...

Postage is required to send mail through the postal services in most countries. If you are using a standard business envelope, you will most likely only need one stamp to mail your letter.  Currently, stamps are $0.49 each. One stamp is sufficient for a letter that does not exceed one ounce in weight.  If your letter weighs more than one ounce, you will either need to affix an additional stamp, or better yet, you should take it to a local post office to be weighed. You can then pay the exact postage needed. You can also calculate your required postage by going to the United States Postal Service's website. Postage rates do change fairly frequently. If you haven't mailed a letter in awhile, the old stamps that you have stashed in the back of your desk drawer may be insufficient.  A good way to handle surprise increases in the cost of a stamp is to purchase Forever Stamps. These are non-denominational stamps which once purchased can be used to mail First-Class letters forever—regardless of any subsequent price increases.  Currently, a First-Class Mail Forever Stamp is priced at $0.49.   Currently, a First-Class Mail International Global Forever Stamp and/or a Postcard Stamp is priced at $1.15. If you send a lot of letters (and you should consider doing so—writing letters is a lost art!), you should definitely stock up on Forever Stamps. The stamp goes in the upper-right corner of the envelope.  Make sure that you do not place your stamp over any part of the mailing address (the mailing address should be centered lower on the envelope, so this shouldn't be a problem). Make sure as well that you do not write over the stamp. Of course, if you do not have stamps, or do not have the correct postage, take your addressed envelope to the nearest post office and they will handle it from there. Double-check that you've included all of the necessary, correct information. You're ready to mail!

Determine whether you're ready to commit. Take the length of your relationship into consideration. Identify whether the guy is interested. Prepare yourself for rejection.

Take surveys for money. Use your photography skills for money. Tutor other students. Offer a laundry service. Edit essays for money.

The decision to commit can be a tricky one. Whether or not you are ready for a committed, steady relationship can be determined by a number of factors. Every case is different, and you might have certain expectations for a relationship. Ask yourself:  How do I feel about him? Do I feel excited when we are together? Do I miss him when he is gone? Can I handle the time commitment of a serious relationship right now? What type of relationship do I want?  Have we fought before? If so, how well did we handle it?  Does he respect me? Are there any red flags I am concerned about? Am I uncertain about his character? Do I trust him?  How do I feel about monogamy? Do I want an exclusive relationship with one person? If so, am I willing to be monogamous with this man? If not, are both parties open to a polyamorous relationship? Am I doing this because he makes me happy? Or are other people pressuring me to have a boyfriend? Asking your guy to be your boyfriend too soon can scare him off if the feeling isn’t mutual, but waiting too long can create confusion and hurt feelings. Since all relationships are different, there’s no specific amount of time you should wait before asking. Trust your instinct. If the timing feels right, it might just be.  If you have just met the guy, you might want to go on a few dates before you ask him to be your boyfriend. You may not want to commit to someone you just met. Many people ask a partner to become steady or exclusive after about six dates or one month.  Some people wait until they have dated for three months to have the talk. If you have a long distance relationship, you may want to establish this talk sooner rather than later. This will help both parties understand what is expected even when you are far apart. You should have some indication about how the guy feels about you.

If you have free time between classes or after classes, many websites will pay you to take surveys. While the pay is not always high, if you're taking a few surveys during your downtime each day, it adds up. You also may be able to find companies that pay you to test websites. You will have to spend a few hours browsing the site, and then take a survey reviewing your experience on it. If you're skilled at taking pictures, you may be able to make some money doing so. If you have a small portfolio of quality of photos, assemble it on a website or blog. Then, advertise your services as a photographer. Offer to photograph events on campus for a reasonable fee. You can also make money via photography online. Websites like Dreamstime allow you to upload your best photos. Each time someone downloads one of your images, you receive payment. If you're talented in a particular subject area, offer your skills as a tutor. Put up flyers around campus offering to tutor students in a particular subject. You can place these photos in relevant locations. For example, if math classes tend to be taught in Wells Hall, put up flyers advertising your services as a personal math tutor there. Most tutors charge somewhere between $20 and $40 an hour. However, if you're targeting other students, you may set yourself apart from the competition by charging slightly less. You  may get more clients this way, increasing your income even when charging less for hourly services. Many college students dislike doing laundry. If you don't mind the task, offer a laundry service in your dorm. You can charge, say, $10 per load of laundry, as well as the cost of operating the laundry machines. If you can offer students clean, folded laundry, they may feel freeing up some time in their own schedule is worth a small fee. If you're an English or writing major, editing skills are often in high demand. Students without an English background may need to write papers for certain courses. They may be in need of editing services.  You can advertise your...

TL;DR in English:


Want to change. Have realistic expectations. Recognize your triggers. Set up barriers. Find replacements. Reward yourself. Give it time.

Create an open environment where issues can be discussed effectively. An open environment means that problems should be discussed, rather than dealt with passive aggressively or overly dramatically. If someone makes a small mistake, tell the person about it, but do not dwell on the situation. As a manager, it is your job to create an environment where employees can easily accept and fix their mistakes without fear of losing their jobs. If you do not create this environment, employees will continue to hide their mistakes and problems will not get fixed. This will help you to figure out what is causing your employees to feel so stressed out, without having to put anyone on the spot. When employees are allowed to give feedback anonymously, they are generally much more willing to do so. Forms of feedback can include:  Suggestion and complaint boxes. Online anonymous polls. Working with a third party to meet with employees without disclosing which employee said certain things. Consider all of the factors for why a problem arose, and subsequently led to stressed employees. Perhaps a deadline was missed. Take a look at when the work was issued, how much work the assignment entailed (was the employee overburdened?), whether the work was on par with the employee's skill level, and if they employee has done similar assignments before. Taking a look at all of these factors can help you to figure out why the deadline was missed, and what is causing the stress. Perhaps the employee had never done an assignment like that, or had been sick or dealing with a family emergency at the time.

TL;DR in English: Handle mistakes calmly. Use different methods to collect feedback regarding workplace stress. Try to take an analytic approach to a problem, rather than leading with your emotions.

Like we said, you have to really want these changes in your life, otherwise they'll never stick. You can pretend to be better in one way or another for a little while, but it will catch up to you if you don't mean it. Make changes that you want for yourself, rather than changes that someone else is forcing on you. This is the only way to really change. Don't think that changing who you are will make your life instantly better and that everything will be perfect. That's not how life works. And changing won't be easier, either. If you go in with reasonable expectations, you'll have a much easier time sticking through the challenges. Recognize the things that make you do things you don't like or that you want to change. Do you eat when you're stressed? Lash out at loved ones when you're angry? Find your triggers so that you can find better ways to deal with them. Erect barriers to keep you from doing the things that you don't like. If you want to spend less time on the internet, get a plan that allows slower or less traffic, or only allow internet on your phone but not your computer. Basic barriers will keep you from automatically falling on old habits, as they'll ensure that doing the wrong thing would be a conscious effort, rather than an accident. Find something else to do instead of the thing you're trying to stop. The activities listed in the first section can work, but you can also employ smaller tricks. If you tend to get angry a lot, try singing a song inside your head. This works even better if it's a song that makes you laugh. Give yourself rewards to further motivate you. Keep these small, just enough to trigger positive feelings. You don't want to be dependent on the rewards, just let them make you feel good about all the work you're putting in. Be patient! Change takes time. It won't happen overnight and if you expect it to, you'll be very disappointed in yourself. Wait, just keep trying, and you'll get there eventually!

Keep your hands and arms in the water. Move your cupped hands through the water to push you toward the surface. Keeping your legs at a normal gait, and move them in a scissor motion. Breathe in easy regular breaths. Continue this pattern of arm and feet movement until assistance is provided.

Start with 120-grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough spots. Switch to 220-grit and sand the whole table top, going with the grain, until it has a smooth, even finish all over. You can buy a prefabricated round table top at a home improvement center, or get one custom cut there from a solid piece of wood if they don’t have them for sale. Stir the gel stain well with a stir stick or scrap piece of wood before you begin. Use foam brushes to work the stain into the wood, going with the grain. Gel stain is thicker than liquid stain and is easier to use. It’s a great choice if you want to do this project with your kids because it is more straightforward to use. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the amount of time to let the gel stain soak in and dry. Let the stain dry between coats if you plan on applying more than one. You can seal and protect the finish with brush-on or spray-on polyurethane if you want, or leave it as is. Flip the table top over and place a 17 gallon (45.42 L) galvanized tin tub in the center of it. Trace around the bucket with a pencil. Use a hot glue gun to glue 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm) rope to the underside of the wood 1 in (2.5 cm) inside the traced circle. Check that the table top sits flush on the tin bucket right away after you create the seal. Peel the rope off and adjust it to get a tight, flush fit if you need to. Use 4 4–6 in (10–15 cm) prefabricated table legs. Use a drill with a metal bit to drill holes for the legs in the bottom of the bucket and attach them with the provided hardware. You will be able to find different kinds of prefabricated table legs at a home improvement center, where you got the premade table round. It’s up to you if you want to use wooden ones or any other style that you like.

TL;DR in English: Sand a premade 24 in (61 cm) table round to smooth it. Stain the table top with gel stain and foam brushes. Wipe off the excess stain with a rag and let it dry. Create a seal on the underside of the table top with rope. Attach table legs if you want to make the storage bin taller.

Do not raise your hands and do not flail. Keeping your arms in the water displaces more liquid, and makes you more buoyant. Cupping your hands allows you to deliver more force in each stroke. Pushing downward with your cupped hands will move your shoulders and head above the surface of the water. This pushes water underneath you, and will keep you on the surface. The closer your legs are together the more water they will displace, but you want to keep them just far enough to not knock into each other. Think about a typical walking motion, and that will provide a good gauge. Kicking will also prevent your arms from tiring. Ideally you will use your hands and arms together, but that will take some coordination and practice. You can alternate between the two while you get used to the motions. Alternating kicking and pushing with your arms will allow you to stay buoyant for a longer period. Keeping air in your lungs will make you more buoyant and less likely to slip beneath the surface. Feeling like you could drown is a frightening experience, and can make you want to breath rapidly or hold your breath, but it is important to remain calm. Avoiding hyperventilation and loss of oxygen will help you get back out of the water. Let someone know you are in trouble, but stay calm as you wait for assistance.

Strength implies having power and being able to change your own life, while weakness implies being powerless and helpless. Whatever your circumstances, there are things you can control, and things you can't. The key is to focus on the things you can control. Make a list of what is troubling you, then make a list of what you can do to make each situation better. Accept the items on the first list (they are what they are) and focus your energy on the second list. In studies of people with a high Adversity Quotient (AQ), it's observed that resilient people not only always find some aspect of a situation that they can control, but also feel responsible for taking action to fix the situation, even if their hardship was caused by someone else. Those with a low AQ, however, ignore opportunities to take action and deflect accountability, presuming that because they didn't create the situation, they should not be the ones to fix it. Sometimes, we encounter situations in which we really are helpless to enact change. Even though these times are trying, you can still be in control because no matter what, you can always control your attitude towards life. As Victor Frankl put it: "We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." Regardless of what is happening, be positive.  If somebody is making your life miserable, don't let them crush your spirit. Continue to be proud, have hope, and remember that attitude is something that no one can take away from you. "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent," as Eleanor Roosevelt said. Try not to let a crisis or hardship in one area of your life spill over into other areas of your life. If you're facing great difficulty with work, for...

TL;DR in English: Remember that you are in control. Choose your attitude. Rediscover your zest for life. Have faith in yourself. Pick your battles wisely. Reach out to the people who mean the most to you. Strike a balance between work and play, rest and activity. Be thankful for what you have Don't take things so seriously Remember that nothing is permanent.

TL;DR in English:


Get a spatula. Squeeze a liberal amount of lotion onto the spatula. Gently reach the spatula behind your back. Spread the lotion around your back.

As with hair loss in men, the most important first step is to consult a doctor. The earlier a woman seeks care, the sooner a doctor can administer the proper treatment, which is more likely to yield positive results and regrowth. Your doctor will run a panel of tests to check everything from deficiencies to levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Deficiencies such as zinc, iron, or vitamin D can result in hair loss. After your doctor runs a panel of tests, he or she may recommend a stronger daily dose of deficient vitamins or minerals.  In cases where hormonal abnormalities are present—specifically the presence of excess male hormones known as androgens—medications such as spironolactone (which limits aldosterone production) or oral contraceptives may be the solution.  In cases where the diagnosis is alopecia areata, early data shows that JAK inhibitors such as ruxolitinib can suppress the immune response causing the hair loss. A doctor may decide to prescribe minoxidil (Rogaine and its generics) for a woman with DHT-related hair loss. Whereas the minoxidil formulation for men is typically 5%, women are more commonly prescribed a 2% formula.  For a women who really want to maximize the potential for hair regrowth, a doctor may still prescribe the stronger 5% solution; however, while very effective, this can lead to increased facial hair growth as a side effect.  As with men, one of the major drawbacks of minoxidil for women is that the product requires strict adherence to its application. Regrown hair will quickly recede with discontinued use. Hair transplant surgeries relocate healthy hair follicles to affected areas of the scalp and are very effective methods of regrowing hair. Transplant options are best for women with traction alopecia (caused by long wear of tight braids or other things that pull the hair) or hair loss due to trauma such as scarring or burns.  Unfortunately, most women with DHT-related hair loss see a general thinning across the entire scalp as opposed to male pattern baldness which...

TL;DR in English: Consult a doctor. Discuss oral treatment solutions. Discuss topical treatments. Discuss hair transplant options. Do not worry about refraining from typical hair care regimens.

You can use a plastic or rubber spatula, and a wooden one will work too, but avoid a metal spatula. If you have multiple options, opt for whichever one has the longest handle.  You may not want to use a spatula that you frequently use to cook. If possible, buy one that you can designate for the purpose of applying lotion. It’s possible to get splinters from a wooden spatula, so be careful when using one. Keep the spatula as flat as you can when you squirt the lotion onto it so that you don’t drop any onto the ground. You may do better to use a little less lotion and make more than one application. Do your best to keep the spatula flat with the lotion side up, bend your arm around to your back and place the lotion against your lower back. Move the head of the spatula around in a circle covering your lower back first and moving up to your mid-back. You can then reach over your shoulder from the top and apply lotion to your upper back as well. Add more lotion if you need to and repeat the process until you have covered all areas of your back.

TL;DR in English:


Feel good about asserting yourself, and be prepared to do it again. Reflect on what went well in your conversation and what could go better next time. Change the way you talk to yourself. Make an effort to reach out to your sister more. Talk to your parents and friends about the situation.

Look back over the conflicts you’ve had with your sister. Identify the source of the issue and take time to think about how these conflicts could have been avoided altogether. Try to pinpoint the times that she has pushed you over the edge and consider how you could you have prevented the fight from escalating to that point. This information will help you identify your limits—the baseline and peak of your tolerance for your sister.  Instead of manipulating you into doing something, you would like her to ask you for help or a favor. For example, when she starts to yell at you, will you walk away from the conversation? Or, if she bullies you, will you tell your parents? If you feel comfortable approaching your big sister, you may find it helpful to talk to her about your boundaries. Make sure she understands that you are setting these boundaries because you want to have a healthy relationship with her. After you share your limits with her, ask if she can respect your boundaries. For example, you could say, "Linda, I want to establish some boundaries with you. I will not tolerate you bullying me any more. When this happens, I will let mom and dad or another adult know right away." Like you, your big sister will also have boundaries. Ask her if there is anything you can do to avoid conflict in the future. Remember, if you expect her to respect your boundaries, you must respect hers. For example, you could say, "Linda, do you have any boundaries for our relationship?"

TL;DR in English: Identify your limits. Share your limits with your sister. Respect your sister’s limits.

What happens after you have stuck up for yourself is not as important as the fact that you stuck up for yourself. Sticking up for yourself is hard and you should be proud that you did it. It is a good practice that you will need to learn to do many times before things start to change because sticking up for yourself is not a one time fix thing.  While you are in the confrontation, tell yourself that you are doing the right thing. And again after the conversation, remind yourself that it was good to talk to your sister and set your boundaries no matter how she handles it. Don’t be down if there were bad parts of your conversation or if your sister didn’t seem to listen to you. Think about what you did or said that you were glad that you did. Plan on saying things differently, listening better, or reacting to her better based on your conversation. People talk to themselves in their heads and sometimes that self talk becomes negative and starts repeating. When it comes to your sister, make sure that you don’t dwell on only the bad things in your relationship. It is good to think about the ways that we are not being treated right and stick up for ourselves, but we shouldn’t dwell on these things because it might make things worse. Learning how to change your negative self talk positive can help you to reduce your stress in other parts of your life, too.  For example, if you find yourself repeating negative things to yourself like, “I will never like her,” this might make you more bitter toward your sister. And feeling bitter or resentful will make it harder for you two to have a good relationship. Find ways to make your thoughts more positive. You don’t have to lie, but you can say something like, “Sometimes I feel like I really don’t like my sister, but occasionally she sticks up for me with our parents, and I can tell she cares about me.” Refocus on the good things. After a bad conversation you can say to yourself, “No matter what happened, I didn’t lose my cool.” If you have a difficult relationship with your...

Adding a brooch to your blouse will instantly make you look more elegant and refined. Just pass the pin on the brooch into the fabric on your shirt, then push it out through the other side.  Typically, a brooch looks neatest when it's pinned between your breast and collarbone. Don’t gather too much fabric when you’re pinning the brooch to your shirt, or your shirt will look puckered or bunched up. A simple brooch on a solid-colored shirt is a great way to ease into this trend. If you have a shirt with a relatively stiff collar, you can use a brooch to dress it up. You can place a single brooch to one side of the collar, or you can use 2 identical brooches on either side of the collar for a symmetrical look.  Try clustering several brooches along one side of your collar for a unique look. For instance, in the springtime, a collection of flower-shaped brooches would look great on the collar of a chambray button-down. You can also wear the brooch on your shirt just below the points of your collar. Try wearing brooches with a pearl design to soften a Western button-down shirt. Whether you’re wearing a pastel-colored sheath dress, a little black dress, or a sweater dress, a brooch can add visual interest and a unique touch. Experiment with different locations for the brooch to see what looks best.  If your dress has ruched detailing, try placing the brooch at your waist right where the material gathers. Wearing a brooch could leave a small hole in the material, especially if the dress is made of a delicate fabric like chiffon or lace. If that's the case, either opt for a small brooch, or put on a jacket and wear the brooch on that, instead. When the weather turns chilly, there’s nothing more comfortable than pulling on a soft sweater. Dress up your sweater with a little sparkle by pinning on a brooch, and you’ll instantly look more put-together! Elevate your outfit further by adding on some skinny jeans, ankle boots, and a stylish scarf! If you wear a suit or a blazer to work, it can sometimes be hard to...

TL;DR in English: Pin your brooch to the breast of a blouse for a classic look. Use a brooch to emphasize the collar of a shirt. Wear a brooch to add sparkle to a simple dress. Pin your brooch to a cozy sweater to mix style and comfort. Add personality to a jacket or blazer by pinning a brooch to the lapel. Jazz up a simple T-shirt with a brooch. Stick your brooch to the waist of a skirt for an unexpected touch.

Research studies show that the optimal time to post on Instagram is on Wednesday at about 5 pm. If you want to get more likes, you need to post when people are looking at their phones. That means you usually need to avoid working hours, between 8 and 5 pm, and post who people are still awake and looking at their phones. So, evenings and early mornings are the best times to post to Instagram.  Don't clump up too many pictures at once. If you've got three or four great ones, don't put them all up in a series, or you'll get fewer likes. Unless they specifically go together, wait and space out your posts. Make sure you are posting at the right time for your target audience. If a big part of your audience come from overseas then they could be living in a different timezone. Pictures need to have context. Captions are an opportunity to add a little joke to your post, or give people some other way of reading into it. Use captions ironically so you can give people multiple ways to appreciate your picture.  Most people use captions for their hashtags. This is important, but it's also good to include regular captions as well. Throw some emojis and some text in there as well. Use a caption ironically. If you take a really pretty picture of a sunset in your neighborhood, that's ok, but if it's captioned with, "Too bad my neighborhood smells like dead fish tonight." Hashtags give you a great opportunity to get your pictures out to people who aren't your followers. When people search hashtags for particular themes, your picture will come up. Use a variety of accurate hashtags and trending hashtags to hook your pictures to as many different search terms as possible.  Some of the most popular hashtags include: cute, love, smile, swag, popular, instagood, photooftheday, instamood, picoftheday, and nofilter. Use accurate hashtags. If you take a selfie, hashtag it #selfie. If you take a picture of your bff, hashtag it #bff. Don't overthink it. Geotag your pictures as well. If your picture is tied to a particular place, set your...

Sunburned skin often itches, but scratching or peeling away your skin will only increase tissue damage on the sunburned areas, increase peeling, and promote the risk of a skin infection.  If you get the urge to scratch your sunburn, try applying an ice cube wrapped in cloth or a damp paper towel to your skin and rubbing the area in small circles to offer temporary itch relief. If you absolutely must remove some peeled skin, do not pull on the skin, no matter how tempting it might be. Instead, use a small pair of scissors and carefully cut away that section of skin. Try bathing and showering with cool to lukewarm water, rather than using hot water. The hot water will dry out your skin and promote peeling, whereas the cooler water will feel better on your skin and reduce the likelihood of peeling. Use a mild soap, preferably one that's fragrance free. Harsh soaps and fragrances may irritate your skin. Also avoid rubbing your skin dry after bathing, as you could rub off the outermost, burned layer of your skin, causing peeling. Soap can be very drying to skin, and when you have a sunburn, you want your skin to stay as moisturized as possible to promote healing and prevent peeling. Keep the soap use to a minimum, being sure to avoid using it on particularly burned areas of your skin.  If you do use soap, try to refrain from using a washcloth or loofah to apply to soap. The rough surfaces of those materials may irritate your skin and encourage peeling. Choose a mild cleansing soap, such as Dove, Basis, or Oil of Olay Sensitive Skin to clean your face, underarms, feet, and groin. Simply rinse the rest of your body with water. Also, try to avoid shaving and waxing. If you must shave, try to use a rich, moisturizing shaving cream, gel, or lotion.

TL;DR in English: Avoid scratching your skin. Avoid bathing with hot water or harsh soap. Avoid using harsh cleansers or exfoliates.

Discover activities and hobbies that help you express yourself uniquely and creatively.  Express yourself in a way that is significant to you. This might be painting, sculpting, sewing, creating jewelry, doing woodwork, singing, or composing music. The important part is that you have a way to express yourself in a unique way that you enjoy.  Think back on what you enjoyed as a child and find ways to build on that. Engage your playful side and see where it takes you.  You might use your own body to express originality. This might include the way you dress, your hair, or modifications such as piercings or tattoos. This goes for fashion, art, and everything in between. Take your interests and put your own twist on them. If you don’t know where to start in creating a style, do something that interests you until you find your ‘sweet spot.’ Be willing to take risks and fail as you define your style.  For example, if you’re a photographer, take photos of people, places, animals, and nature, and utilize different lenses and techniques. Notice what resonates with you, and you can begin to develop within framework. With practice, you might find that your style is taking black-and-white landscape photos. Constantly assess your work and yourself. Think about what do you do well and what you can improve on. If you feel constrained by being perfect or having a perfect idea, you likely won’t reach your potential in creating something truly original. Be willing to take risks and experience failure. While you’re creating, be willing to approach things unconventionally and make changes later. There’s no need to put your work in a box. For example, if you usually draw clean lines in your sketching, experiment with imperfect lines and see how it affects your work. If you want to show your originality to others, your appearance is a great way to showcase your unique style. Figure out what you like to wear and what feels comfortable. Find a clothing style you enjoy (such as dramatic, classy, romantic) and make it your own.  If you...

Remove the cap. Use a utility knife to cut off the top of the bottle slightly below where the neck straightens. To cut an even line, wrap a piece of masking tape around the bottle to mark where you'll cut. Hold the bottle top so the capless end is facing downward. Insert this into the bottle bottom. Hold the bottle top in place at the top of the bottle bottom with your fingers. Staple the top to the bottom on four opposing sides.  If you don't have a stapler, tape the seam between the inverted bottle top and the bottle bottom instead.  If you want to reuse your traps, fasten the bottle top and bottom with clothespins. You only need to unfasten the clothespins to clean, empty, and refill your 2-liter bottle trap. Drill two holes an inch (2.5 cm) below the top of the trap, with each hole on opposite sides of the bottle. Use a drill bit large enough to allow your cord to pass through. Feed one end apiece of a length of cord into the two holes holes. Knot the ends of the cord and it's ready to hang. Pour honey or sugar water directly into the bottom of the trap. You don't need much; a thin layer will be enough to attract bees. Bees will be attracted to the sweetness and won't be able to escape, eventually dying in the trap. Save the lives of bees by only using honey or sugar water. When you see a bee trapped inside, take it away from your home and carefully release it. To ensure bees that enter your trap don't make it out alive, add a tablespoon (15 ml) of liquid laundry soap to your bait. Distribute the soap throughout the bait by stirring it with a utensil. The soap will poison and kill all bees that ingest it. Placing your traps too close to bee access points may actually draw more indoors. Prioritize locations in the sun. Sunlight will make the bait more effective and also cause bees to die in the trap faster. Hanging traps tend to attract bees better than ground traps. Ground traps, however, can be effective guarding window access points. If you've fastened your bottle top and bottom with staples, you'll...

TL;DR in English: Cut away the top third of a clean 2-liter soda bottle. Invert the bottle top to nest it in the bottle bottom. Drill holes and add cord to make a hanging trap.

Run a tape measure along your door from the left corner to right corner, and record this number. It is important that you only measure the door. Do not include any other elements, such as weather-stripping.  Particularly with older doors, it is important to measure in more than one location, just in case the door is not perfectly rectangular. If the amounts vary, use the largest figure. Door widths of 30 inches (76 cm), 32 inches (81 cm) and 36 inches (91 cm) are considered "standard." Run your tape measure along your door from the top corner to the bottom corner, and write this number down. You may need to use a chair and/or ask a friend to help you. Once again, measure only the door itself and no other elements, such as a door sweep.  Once again, it is wise to measure in more than one spot on the door, just in case it's not a perfect rectangle. This is especially true for older doors. If the amounts vary, use the largest figure. The most common height for doors is 80 inches (200 cm). Hold a tape measure to the edge of the door and record its thickness. Measure this edge on the door frame (known as the jamb), as well. These numbers should be close to the same, but it can be helpful to know both of them. The most common thickness is 1.75 inches (4.4 cm). Just to be safe, measure the area where your door will go, too. Record the height and width of the door frame space. This will help ensure that you select the exact right replacement door.  Measure the width of the door in 3 locations. Use the smallest figure as your measurement. Measure the height of the door right in the middle. Measure from the floor to the underside of the trim at the top of the door. If you must, it is always better to round down than round up. This helps to ensure that your door will fit.

If you're stuck on a long shopping trip, you're there with someone else who's doing things that don't interest you. Excuse yourself by telling the other person you're going to have a look around, and agree on a meeting place and time to get back together. Head off and distract yourself any way you can. Even when nothing seems interesting, you can usually find things to look at. Try reading nutrition labels or looking at brand icons in a supermarket, for example.  Don't forget, you can also go outside the building and see what the back lot looks like. Be sure the person you're with hears and understands you when you set a place and time. Ask them to recite it back to you so you know you're both on the same page about the location in particular. If you're young enough, you can usually get away with sitting down in a corner and actually playing with die-cast cars or other small toys inside a store. Don't expect to get away with this if you're a teenager or older, though. Between phones and handheld game consoles like the Nintendo 3DS, there are many games available to play on the go. Prepare ahead of time and bring along an alternate game or two in case you get stuck on one. If you can't find a good place to sit and play your game, check for benches outside the front of the building, or chairs in the back near restrooms and fitting rooms. As with console games at home, don't forget that there are several older handheld systems available for relatively little money, most of which had many fun games made for them. You don't have to buy a top-of-the-line system to have fun.

TL;DR in English: Explore. Play a pocket game.

Keep in mind, you don't always have to confess a crush, especially if confessing will only cause you anxiety. If confessing doesn't feel like a good idea, give yourself a pass and simply don't do it. Think about what you want out of the situation. If you're hoping confessing will lead to a relationship, it's probably a good idea to confess. However, crushes do not have to go anywhere. If you would rather not pursue a relationship with this person for any reason, it may be best to keep your crush to yourself. If you decide not to confess, you can talk over your feelings with a close friend or family member instead. They can help you manage your emotions surrounding the crush so you can cope on your end without having to confess. There is no need to confess all at once, especially if you're feeling nervous. You can work your way up to confessing by taking baby steps. Start by getting a little more flirtatious with your crush to make your feelings more apparent.  For example, ask your crush to hang out one on one. It won't be a date, but it's a chance for you to spend time with them alone. This can help you get more comfortable with them, making confessing easier. Try to pay your crush some compliments. Let them know what you like about them. This can make it easier to eventually tell them you like them romantically. Ideally, you should confess your feelings when you and your crush have some privacy. Once you feel comfortable with the idea of confessing your feelings, invite your crush somewhere like a quiet coffee shop or out for a walk. Then, when you're out together, confess how you feel. You can't know how someone else feels without asking them first. Going into the situation assuming you will be rejected will only make you more nervous. Acknowledge that you do not know how your crush is going to react and try not to imagine possible scenarios. Simply approach the situation from a neutral perspective. Remind yourself that, no matter the outcome, at least you'll know. Having a crush, especially one you've...

TL;DR in English:


Be aware of your emotions. Name what you're feeling. Accept your feelings. Express yourself freely

Also make a list of the things that you like about yourself. Tape the list to your bedroom wall or bathroom mirror. Every morning, read the list to remind yourself of how great you are. If you find yourself thinking that you aren't good enough for college or that no one will want to be friends with you, then reverse these thoughts. Instead, tell yourself, "I am good enough for college," or "Many people would love to be friends with me because I am a great friend." If wearing makeup helps you feel more confident, then wear makeup. If smiling and greeting your classmates makes you feel more confident, then greet them. If joining a club or volunteering helps you feel more confident, then join a club or volunteer. By doing the things that help you feel more confident, you will be more confident. New people and places can make you feel alone and unsure at times. However, understand that you aren't the only one who feels this way. Try to reach out and befriend other classmates, or call your high school friends if you need someone to talk to. If you cannot seem to shake your loneliness, make an appointment with a counselor on campus. A counselor can help you work through hard times.

TL;DR in English: Make a list of your strengths. Reverse negative thoughts. Do the things that make you feel confident. Realize that you are not alone.

"Not feeling" doesn't mean ignoring your emotions, or repressing them. If you feel negativity, accept it. If you feel love, accept it. Strive to be fully aware and present in the emotions you experience. Your feelings will always be a part of you on some level. Even the Dali Lama gets angry occasionally, and the toughest MMA fighter will occasionally be brought to tears. If your emotions don't rule you, you'll be calm, cool, and collected. You'll be unflappable. It's not "losing" your emotions, it's keeping them far away and under control. The better you can learn to talk about how you're feeling, the less it will rule over your actions, without identifying yourself with it.  As you feel a particular emotion coming on, name it: "I feel anger happening," or "There's anger here." It might sound weird, but it helps you put the emotion somewhere else. Don't identify with your feelings. Don't say, "I am angry." How you feel doesn't define you as a person. You're not the sum of the things you feel. You're bigger than your feelings. Sometimes, you can't control your feelings. They're not things that we choose, and they're not things that we have much control over. If you're feeling scared of horror films, you're scared of horror films. If you're feeling sad about your break-up with an ex, you're sad about your break-up. Imagine you could "watch" your suffering happen, as if it were happening to another person. Distance it, away from your conception of yourself. Put your suffering just over there. . When you learn to accept your feelings, you can learn to loosen yourself up. Express yourself as freely as possible. Think of it less as "feeling" or "not feeling," and more as staying unattached to those feelings that you experience. Feel your feelings come into your mind and send them back out of your mind as easily as they arrived. Work on thinking less about how you feel and more in just feeling it in the moment and letting it go. If something makes you mad, don't bury it under the surface. Say, "That just made me...

Take digestive enzymes. Relieve constipation. Use over the counter remedies. Avoid holding gas back.

Disable the button if your clock has the capability. Habitually hitting snooze will create a habit that can be very difficult to break. Set your alarm somewhere across the room, out of your immediate reach, so that you have to physically get out of bed to turn it off. Even if you don’t feel like it, give it a try. Leap out of bed enthusiastically and spread your arms wide as if to say, “I am so ready for today! Bring it on!” It sounds silly, but it really does work (even if it just makes you giggle). When we wake up in the morning, we experience a feeling of brain sluggishness before our brains return to full functionality. During sleep we breathe very slowly, resulting in a lower amount of oxygen hitting our system than what our fully awake bodies are used to running on. Getting our brains back up to full speed depends on the time it takes for the body to inhale enough oxygen to get all of our processes going. Taking some big, deep breaths will get oxygen flowing faster, allowing your brain to fully wake up and reboot before you fall back asleep! Whether you throw open your curtains to let the sunlight in or turn on artificial indoor lighting, bright lights will instantly make you feel more awake. Doing this consistently can also help you to reset your internal clock to accept your new earlier wake up time. When you wake up, you are dehydrated from not drinking any water all night long. Dehydration can make you feel very tired. As soon as you wake up, drink a tall glass of water. You’ll rehydrate your body and feel instantly more awake. When we are trying to establish a new habit, rewarding successes along the way can really help make that habit stick. Every time you successfully wake up early, reward yourself! It doesn’t have to be a big deal, but do choose something that is genuinely rewarding to you, whether that’s coffee, your favorite breakfast, or putting on your favorite music.

TL;DR in English: Avoid hitting the snooze button. Jump out of bed – literally! Take strong deep breaths immediately upon waking. Expose yourself to bright light immediately. Drink a large glass of water. Reward yourself.

You may be bloating because of an enzyme deficiency. If you cannot avoid foods that cause bloating or don't want to, you can take digestive enzymes to help your body digest foods better. This is most helpful bloating is caused by improper digestion, overeating, and lactose intolerance. Look for products with some of each of the following:  Proteases, which break down proteins Lipases, which break down fats Carbohydrates (such as amylase), which break down carbohydrates Lactase, which breaks down the sugar (lactose) in dairy products Individual digestive enzymes, such as papain and bromelain If you are not sure which enzyme you are deficient in, buy a combination of enzymes or ask your doctor. Look for a Seal of Approval from either the Natural Products Association (NPA) or the US Pharmacopoiea (USP). Constipation is a common cause of bloating. If you suffer from temporary or occasional constipation, you can take fiber supplements. However, this often causes gas, so take the supplement in smaller doses throughout the day and drink plenty of water with them to reduce the chance of gas. Probiotics are also good for constipation because they help replenish gut bacteria. Watch out for increased bloating during the first few weeks. There are many over the counter remedies that can help you relieve bloating. Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the label of these medications. These medications include:  Beano, which can help your body digest the sugars in beans and vegetables that make you feel gassy Lactaid and Dairy Ease, which are used for bloating from any intolerance to lactose Pepto Bismol, which can be used to ease digestion related gas and bloating Products containing simethicone, such as Gas-X and Mylanta, can help relieve your gas, which will help the bloating subside. You can also try activated charcoal to help with gas. Trapped air or gas can cause bloating. Although it may be strange to do, do not hold back any sort of gas release, including passing gas or belching. Holding them in can...

Mix with Castile soap. Apply as a bug repellent. Deodorize almost anything. Improve your health.

Do not fill the mortar more than 1/4 full. If it's too full, then you won't be able to fully grind it. Use the pestle to thoroughly grind the blades until they begin to stick together and smear along the bottom of the mortar. Apply the pestle using a stirring motion, and press with enough force to crush the grass. This will take a few minutes, and more than a bit of effort, so be prepared. Equal parts water should be sufficient for this method. Mash the water into the crushed wheatgrass using the same forceful stirring motion as described above. Continue mixing until a fine paste forms. The water will help you sufficiently grind down the blades of grass. Twist the top of the cloth to prevent the paste from escaping, but do not tie it. This will allow you to extract the juice from the wheatgrass. Apply pressure to the cloth directly above the clump of wheatgrass paste, squeezing in a downward motion. A bright green liquid should drip out. Continue squeezing until no further liquid drains. Repeat the grinding process until the blades turn white, adding a little extra water each time to create a paste of the same consistency. Continue until your full 1/2 cup (113 grams) has been used. This process does take a while, (at least 10-15 minutes for 1/2 a cup), but it'll be worth it. It's much better than paying $300-$400 for a fancy wheatgrass juicer.

TL;DR in English: Place enough chopped wheatgrass into the mortar to fill the bottom. Grind the blades. Add a little water. Empty the contents of the mortar into a clean muslin cloth. Press on the cloth to drain the wheatgrass juice out into a clean glass. Return the wheatgrass clump to the mortar. After your initial batch of wheatgrass turns white, add fresh chopped wheatgrass to the mortar and begin the grinding process again.

You can make a powerful and environmentally friendly cleaning solvent when you mix orange oil with Castile soap. Simply add a teaspoon of orange oil extract to a bottle of Castile soap and you have a great all-purpose cleaner. Because Castile soap is made from plant oils, instead of chemical detergent, it is safe on sensitive skin and biodegradable. Limonene is a natural grease-cutter and solvent. It is particularly effective at cleaning pots, pans, and other kitchen utensils. Insects hate limonene, and a small dab of orange oil can keep them off of you for hours. Simply dab some around your neck, arms and other exposed areas, and you will notice a decrease in bug bites. You can also place a little limonene oil around the campsite to ward off bugs. Avoid having limonene around an open flame. It is extremely flammable. In fact, it is so flammable that orange peels make great kindling. A drop or two of orange oil can easily mask bad smells. Try rubbing a little orange oil inside of a particularly stinky trash can. In fact, a number of commercial deodorizers contain limonene as a cleaning and deodorizing agent. You can make your own deodorizer by combining thirty drops of orange oil with two cups of baking powder. The essential oil found in oranges is thought to help with multiple types of cancer. Doctors have also used limonene to break up gallstones, and there is some evidence that it can lower cholesterol levels. However, orange oil or any supplement containing limonene is no substitute for proper medical treatment. Be sure to consult with your doctor before taking a limonene supplement or ingesting orange oil.

You can add to this bank by telling him or her loving things or by doing loving things. You want to make your partner feel rich in love. There is no one way to make your partner feel loved- it takes persistent work and listening to him or her to make your partner feel really loved. However, being aware of this imaginary balance might help you remember that you need to do things to show him or her your love.  Do not hold the things you do for your partner over his or her head, and give to this account without expecting a return. Check your motivations when you are doing things for your partner. Do things because you want to do them and not because you want something from your partner. This act of love can mean a lot to your partner. When you see his or her family, ask your partner’s family questions about your partner, find common ground you share, and try to laugh with them. Even if your partner doesn’t have a great relationship with his or her family, you should still try to have a good relationship with them. Whomever the important people are in your partner’s life, get to know those people. Doing something sweet for your partner doesn’t have to take very much effort on your end but will make your partner feel really loved and can do a lot for your relationship. For example, you can go out and get them their favorite tea or coffee in the morning unexpectedly, and buy a sweet treat they like to go with it. Or you can put a sweet note for your partner in his or her purse or bag. Also, some partners really like it when they get something romantic even if it is cheesy. For example, a bouquet of his or her favorite flowers or a box of their favorite sweets will make his or her day. You can get your partner something that benefits everyone. For example, maybe your partner is really craving chips and salsa from a certain Mexican restaurant. Go to that restaurant and pick up chips and salsa and surprise your partner with them at lunch with the family. Schedule regular times in your schedule to devote to doing...

TL;DR in English:


Be focused and attentive watching the demonstrations. Volunteer when your professor asks for assistance. Go back to the lab after clinicals if you want additional practice.

Simply block out the visuals of the movie when you anticipate a scary part coming. You can simply close your eyes or cover them with your hand, hat, hood, or a blanket.  If you want to be subtle, try feigning a slow blink, for which you just close your eyes for a few seconds at a time. You can also block your eyes with a low hood or hat to appear like you’re still watching when you’re really not.  Pay attention to the cues that the movie gives you to indicate that a big scare, called a jump scare, is coming. Listen for ominous music or look for when a protagonist is alone or in the dark, seemingly safe for the moment. Block out the sound of the soundtrack to make the visuals of the movie a little less scary. Often the music is what makes a scary scene more of a dramatic surprise.  Plug your ears with your fingers at the moment you anticipate a scary part. Remember to listen for the music starting to get creepy, but you can block out the sound once you anticipate it starting to build to a big scare. If you don’t want those around you to know that you’re blocking the sound out, try wearing earbud headphones or earplugs throughout the movie. You can hide them with your hair, a hat, or a hood. Just remember that this can block all the sound around you, and you may not hear your friends if they try to talk to you. Tell your friends or family a simple excuse to leave the room or theater when you anticipate a scary part coming up. Get up to use the bathroom or get a snack, for example.  Make sure you don’t use the same excuse too many times during the movie, or be gone for too long at a time. Actually bring back a snack if you say you’re going to get one; do your best to make it realistic. You can even look up online databases that tell you at what point in the movie a jump scare will come, so you know exactly when to make your exit. Have a snack, drink, or chew gum to keep yourself occupied and keep your jaw relaxed. Play with something small in your hands to keep them occupied as well.  You can try squeezing a...

TL;DR in English: Close your eyes during scary parts. Cover your ears to block out the soundtrack. Make an exit when you can. Eat something or have something to distract yourself with.

The clinical portion of your studies is your opportunity to use the information you learned in class in real-life application. When in clinicals, pay attention to each demonstration, and ask questions as they come to you. Be active in discussions to show your commitment and desire to learn.  For example, watch closely as your professor figures out which vein to draw blood from. If you want suggestions about which vein to choose, ask your instructor. If you can’t see the demonstration completely, move to a position where you can. Volunteering during clinical is a great way to develop your nursing abilities since you apply your knowledge in real-time scenarios. You may be scared or cautious at first, but gather some courage and go for it! Use as many opportunities as you can to practice the nursing techniques instructed in class and in the lab. For example, your professor may ask for someone to demonstrate taking a patient’s temperature. Raise your hand so you can show the class your understanding of this basic nursing skill. If you want extra time developing your skills, visit the lab after your scheduled clinical time to get more hands-on feedback from your professors. You can ask your instructors questions, get more practice time, and interact with patients. This is a great idea if you are still confused about class material or want extra help before a big exam. This often demonstrates your passion and dedication to your professors and patients alike.

TL;DR in English:


Hire employees with a military or police background. Assist with state training and licenses. Train your employees to be unobtrusive. Establish your web presence with a website. Place advertisements in places the affluent will see. Advertise for short assignments, too. Help your clients make the adjustment. Be flexible in your approach.

Find a bucket or tub large enough to put your feet in, and fill it with warm water. Add 1/4 cup of baking soda at a time until the bath remains cloudy, stirring after each addition.  Baking soda is known to exhibit anti-microbial activity, preventing the formation of smelly compounds associated with foot odor.  Add some freshly squeezed lemon juice for a nice citrus smell. Soaking them for at least 15 minutes daily will help to reduce the odor that your feet produce. For added benefit, scrub them with a washcloth towards the end of your 15-minute soak. The baking soda helps kill bacteria on your feet while also softening your feet to make dead skin more easily removable. Avoid putting on socks and/or shoes for 10-15 minutes after to ensure your feet are fully dry. Reducing the amount of moisture in your socks and shoes will help keep away the bad odors. If you're soaking for too long each sitting, or soaking too often, you may notice extremely wrinkled or sensitive feet. Decrease the length of your soaks or the frequency if you notice anything strange.

TL;DR in English: Make a foot bath with water and baking soda. Soak your feet in the bath. Towel dry your feet. Look out for signs that you're soaking too much.

Typically, you'll need employees who can work for you full-time, not as a part-time job. That means, you'll need to recruit people who are looking to transition out of these careers and into a new, possibly less stressful career. Most states require that security guards have a certain amount of state-approved training, along with extra training if you want to arm them. Then, they must pass an exam and gain a security officer license.  Most states also require that drivers have a private patrol operator license. Check the age requirements for your state, as some require that body guards be over 21 or 25.  Part of this process will also include running a background check on your potential employees. As personal body guards, your employees' job will typically be to melt into the background. That is, no one wants to feel like they're being watched all the time, even when they're paying someone to do it, so a personal security guard has to be there without making themselves stand out. For instance, work on training your employees to be silent unless spoken to, as that helps them blend into the background. People looking to hire a personal security guard will want to see a professional, well-put together website. If you don't have the skills to do it, it's best to hire someone who can make it look clean and professional. While you can also establish a social media presence, make sure to keep all your interactions professional and discreet. Most likely, your main clients will be the affluent and local celebrities. Purchase space in the country club's newsletter, for instance, or on high-end real estate websites. Hit other avenues, as well, such as your local newspaper and news stations. Of course, word-of-mouth is even better, so once you establish some clients, make sure to treat them to the best service. Then they will recommend you to their friends and family. While affluent people and celebrities may want long-term body guards, some affluent people may just want body guards for short-term projects. If you can...

TL;DR in English:


Use realistic timelines. Cross things out as you accomplish them. Pay attention to what new objectives present themselves. Memorize the highlights for job interviews.

Using very basic soap, (one without moisturizers or oils), soap the wood of the sticky drawers on the sides, slides and bottom side rails. This solution works very well most of the time. In the kitchen and bathrooms, however, where moisture is more common, the soap solution will only help for a very short period of time. This method is best for the doors and windows all across the house.

TL;DR in English: Soap up the wood.

Set a specific time frame in which you will achieve what you set out to do. If you wanted to run the Boston Marathon, you might give yourself a time frame more around a year or two, instead of trying to rush things. Try not to get discouraged. Remember, you're thinking long term. Keep breaking down those big goals until they become a small series of things you can do. Set smart goals and make plans to accomplish them. Don't neglect the importance of giving yourself a visual reminder of getting closer to your goals. Keep your five year plan somewhere easily accessible and cross each item out when you're finished with it. This will help give you a visual reminder of your accomplishments. Five year plans can be a moving target. The job market can change drastically and quickly, and the more you move up the job ladder, the more you'll learn about what it takes. It might have seemed straightforward to get a job as a lawyer in five years a couple years ago, but deep into law school, now you've got a better sense of what needs to happen. Periodically amend your list of goals to take into account these new observations and goals that come up. Revise your five year plan to account for the new information. This isn't a failure, it's a sign you're learning more and getting closer to those goals. A hidden benefit of the five year plan is that often employers will ask you to describe yours in a job interview. If you have prepared one, discussing it in specific detail can do a lot to present yourself as a dedicated and organized person, with clear goals in mind. Contextualize the job that you're applying for as part of that goal and you're much more likely to appear like an attractive candidate.
