You don't necessarily have to break the rules to be a rebel. All you have to do is act in a way that stands out from what's common.  For example, if you play sports and have a letterman jacket, stand out from your athletic peers by removing the sleeves of your letterman and wearing it like a vest. If you are required to call teachers proper names like "Mr. Moser" or "Mrs. LaGuerta," put a playful spin on it by calling them "Mr. Most-definitely" or "Mrs. L." If your school requires you to wear a uniform, like a pair of trousers and a smart collared shirt, throw some personality into your wardrobe by leaving your shirt untucked.  Or, you could tuck your shirt into trousers with holes at the knees. If your peers tend to walk slowly while looking down at their phones, grab some attention by skipping through the hallways on campus. Strut proudly, sing a song while skipping, swing your arms like a gorilla.  People tend to remember things that are unusual or difficult to understand. Speaking your mind doesn't mean just blurting out whatever you are thinking at a given moment. It means advocating for your opinions and beliefs, especially on issues you feel strongly about.  You may feel that your cafeteria is severely lacking in yummy foods like burgers and tacos. Tell the school administration that they should include more foods that teenagers enjoy. If you can't rally up people to present your case, do it by yourself. Having numbers may be a powerful way of showing people that you mean business, but it isn't the only way. As long as you provide solid evidence for your beliefs, you should be fine (for example, good tasting foods help learning because they increase serotonin levels, and high serotonin is essential for memory). If your school is hosting a poetry slam, write some spoken word about how the cafeteria food sucks. Paint a picture of foods that you want to eat at school, and hang it on people's lockers. Sing a song during lunch break about people's choice of what to put in their bodies. Art is a great way of...

You don't need an encyclopedia on the family, but you should know if there are any topics to avoid around the dinner table. Be inquisitive -- what do her parents do? what hobbies do they enjoy? are there any special circumstances to be aware of? Showing you care enough to ask questions will make everyone's experience much smoother.  Does she know any common ground you might have with her family or places where you might naturally find conversation? Is there anything you can bring as a small "thank you" gift? While a bottle of wine is the classic choice, it won't go over well if they don't drink or you're a minor. Even if they refuse, it is the thought that counts. To be a truly considerate guest, just start helping clear the table once dinner is over, taking the initiative and showing your respect. While you aren't there to become a temporary handyman, just asking if you can lend a hand will go a long way. It will look a little strange if you're suddenly distant with your girl. While you don't want to be lewd, holding her hand occasionally or putting an arm around her is a simple, sweet way to show your affection. Check in with her if you think her family would frown on any physical contact. If you're in doubt, let her initiate anything and just follow her lead. You're going to be nervous or stressed, and that is okay. But don't convince yourself that you need to shape your behavior to become a "perfect" partner -- they don't exist. Mind your manners, introduce yourself with a smile and firm handshake, and then be yourself. Imagine you're meeting a professor or teacher for the first time, or a new business contact, instead of your potential in-laws. Tell stories about yourself, be honest about your goals and hopes, and don't be afraid to crack a low-key joke or two if it feels right. Stop second-guessing every action and just be yourself. If a new food is put in front of you, try it with a smile. When the family has a moment of prayer, bow your head respectfully, even if you don't share their faith. Your...

You don't need an excuse to tell anyone that he or she is beautiful. Sometimes there really isn't a "reason" to tell someone they're beautiful; but you do it anyway. Maybe the light's hitting them just right; maybe they're wearing a stunning gown; or maybe you want to kiss them. If you feel an overwhelming urge to tell someone that he or she is beautiful: just do it. You can certainly say "You're beautiful," at any time, but the statement might come across as more meaningful if you have the person's full attention. Say it during an intimate moment, when you're one-on-one. Try not to put him or her on the spot.  If you're telling a friend, lover, or significant other that he/she is beautiful, try saying it in a quiet moment when you're speaking one-on-one or looking into each other's eyes. Let the words come out naturally. Consider writing a note. This can be a great way to create an intimate moment if you're shy, or if you can't be present for some other reason. Say it as a greeting. Try greeting a date by telling him or her, "You look absolutely beautiful tonight!" Avoid saying it if the date is dressed casually. Save it for when they have clearly put some effort into their appearance. Your words don't need to imply anything more than what they mean at face value. There are many reasons to let someone know they're beautiful, and not all of these reasons are romantic. Try not to think too much about it. If you think that someone is beautiful, then it's usually a good idea to let them know. When you say it and how you say it are not nearly as important as 'what' you say. Inundating a simple acquaintance with over-enthusiastic or overly detailed praise can often trigger a cautionary or even a repulsed response. Avoid accenting detailed physical characteristics (like fitness, or the sizes of certain body portions) until you and the subject know each other very well. Further, refrain from discussing such things in the company of others. When in doubt, comment on the most superficial of aspects first and wait...

You don't need to dye your hair but if you want to, go to the hairdresser or get someone else to dye it for you. Or, get a wig. If you hair is curly, just straighten it. If your hair is wavy it is still OK. In the books, Ginny has wavy hair. Some hairstyles you'll find her in are straight ponytails, down with some strands pinned back to the side with a bobby pin or a simple barrette, or just straight down with a wide headband. On one occasion, however, (Slughorn's Christmas party) she was seen with slightly wavy hair.

You don't need to file your nails, but the process may help you shape your nails exactly as you want them. Cutting your nails can leave jagged edges – but it is easy to file them uniform. Use a nail file, a pumice stone, or any other hard, textured surface. Jagged nails can catch on clothes, socks, and pantyhose. If your nails catch on something, they may tear or break. Wait for a while until your nails are dry and are no longer soft. Filing wet nails will leave you with jagged, rough nails when they dry, and may also cause your nails to split and crack. As you cut or file, periodically check your nails to ensure that they're all the same length and shape. Make sure that they're smooth – jagged or pointy nails may prove painful and inconvenient in everyday life. Keep clipping and filing until your nails are even.

You don't need to flip through fashion magazines to become inspired. You can find styles everywhere you look. Re-watch your favorite movie and notice what types of clothes they're wearing. There must be someone in your life whose style inspires you. Reach out to that person for advice. Set some parameters to help guide your style. Don't be afraid to aim for a blend a few styles, for example punk and valley girl. After setting some guidelines for yourself, think of some clothes you could use to help this idea. Start small and consider easy items to find like a jean jacket or a pair of Uggs. Go window shopping. This will give you an idea of what's in style right now, and will give you a chance to see what items you like and dislike. Style doesn't have a rule book. You know yourself and your body. Style comes from within; it comes from your personality and aspirations. It's okay to like a clothing trend, just be sure to think twice before you hop on. Take aspects from trends, but ultimately hold your own personality. In a plain notebook, paste pictures of styles that you like and jot down notes about outfits you see. When you have a fashion dilemma or need to go shopping, flip through the book and find the outfits you like. Go through your clothes and make three different piles: keep, maybe, and give-away.  Have a creative eye and think how you could adapt your current clothes into the style you're imagining. Offer your old clothes to friends, or try to sell them at a secondhand clothing store. You don't need to exclusively shop by brand. The most important rule of having style is to not be defined by labels. You don't need to wear Gucci or American Eagle to be a stylish person. It's not what you wear, but how you wear it. Use the current trends to guide your fashion not dictate it. Wear what you want. Think about what it is you want people to gain from your style. What does your outfit say to a stranger on the corner? Keep these in mind as you map out some ideas about your style.

You don't need to stick to traditional hair colors. Instead, pick a fun bright color in an eye-popping shade. For example, pop icon Pink frequently sports bright colored hair, and Rhianna favors bright reds and oranges. Wearing a wig can keep your hair from the damaging effects of hair dye, and is especially useful if you want to frequently change the color of your hair, as pop stars often do. Wigs have the added benefit of protecting you from the potentially cancerous effects of some hair dyes. Look for wigs with different styles, such as short sleek bobs or shoulder-length curls. Lady Gaga frequently uses wigs and extensions in order to put her hair up into bows. This is an extremely popular option for male pop stars. Keep the sides of your hair cut short and leave a lot of hair on the top of your head for styling interesting hairdos. Comb over the top, revealing a part on one side of your head. Pink, Justin Bieber, and others frequently use this style. Use a pomade, wax, or gel to keep the top of your hair in place. Don't try for the usual sophisticated updo. Create a unique, somewhat messy hairdo. For example, wear your hair in one giant braid (this works well with extensions), put your hair in two small buns on the top of your head, or shave one side of your head and keep your hair long on the other. Miley Cyrus has frequently sported edgy looks.

You don't want floating dust or any other debris inside what should be a pristine container. You will need to customize the flower size to fit inside the container.  Size flowers as you do each container (so don't size all of them at once).  Bend stems and twist flowers so they can be placed inside the container.  This is simply to see how short or how the flowers will look inside the vase.  You should also get an idea of how many flowers you'll need inside each container as well.     Snip the stems once you are satisfied with the length and number of flowers inside the container. Also, consider whether you need to trim leaves, etc.    You will top off each container once it's positioned on the table. The flower arrangement may look different than what you were trying to create inside the dry container so be open to cutting more down or removing/adding flowers.  You may want to touch up your flower arrangement after the flowers have traveled from one area of the room to the table. Don't overfill in the event a guest knocks into the table and the water spills.

You don't want to be rushed while you're trying to find your alpha state of mind, particularly if it's your first time. Choose a time where you don't have a million things you should be doing instead. If to-do tasks keep intruding on your meditation time, try making a quick list of what you need to do so you can focus on your mediation. To go into the alpha state of mind, you need to be relaxed, which means you need to be relatively comfortable. One good position is lying down, so find a comfy couch or bed to relax in. You can also sit up in a position you find comfortable. Sitting up can be beneficial if you keep falling asleep while you are lying down. To find the alpha state of mind, you need to be focused on your meditations. Shut the door so you're not disturbed. Also, try to turn off or block any repetitive noises.  Turn on some relaxing music if you prefer. It can help to close your eyes. When you're opening your mind up to meditation, don't try to shut down every thought running in your mind. That's futile, as your brain will just fight against that inclination. Instead, try to take a step back and observe the thoughts going through your mind. That way, you're not swept up in those thoughts, but simply observing. Focus on the silence that's also a part of your thinking, and try to push your thoughts to the side.

You don't want to be too controlling, but at the same time, you still want to keep your daughter safe. Invest some money in buying her a cellphone for her, or ask her to help you out in saving. If she has one, she can have it on her at all times for when you need to get a hold of her. Talk to her about emergency scenarios. For example, say something like, "If you can't get a sober driver to take you home from a party, I'll pick you up. I don't care if it's four in the morning -- I'd rather drive you than have you get in the car with a drunk driver."  Sure, your daughter will groan a little if you're obsessed with her being safe, but it's much better than not caring and having her get into a dangerous situation. With teenagers spending more time online than ever, it's important to encourage cyber safety. Talk to your daughter about not talking to anyone online whom she doesn't know, and about definitely not meeting up with anyone she meets online unless she has good reason to trust this person. She's going to come to the age where she has a boyfriend. You have to be accepting, no matter what you think. The strictness and fairness rules apply here, too. You need to be there for her during the relationship. Though you don't want to pry or ask too many questions, you should be involved and know what she's doing and where she's going.  Though it may kill you to see your daughter dating someone who may potentially mistreat or take advantage of her, you have to help her be a good judge of character herself instead of telling her if you think her boyfriend is a no good loser. If you try to discourage your daughter from dating a certain person, she'll only want to be with him even more. Face it: it's just not realistic to keep your daughter from dating someone she likes. This isn't the Stone Ages, and the fact of the matter is, there's only so much you can do to stop your daughter from dating. You can't keep her locked in her room like a princess trapped in a tower. One day, she'll go off to college or will just move...

You don't want to do work and not get paid. But if you don't require tuition from your students up-front, that may be what happens. Choose billing options that best suit your financial needs.  The easiest option is to have students commit to a month at a time, and pay for that month up front. This method not only makes accounting easier for you, but also ensures a level of commitment from your students. Paying in advance for a month's worth of lessons also makes it easy for you to schedule and allot your time, which is immensely important if you are working a day job and teaching guitar on the side. The more you improve as a musician and a teacher, the more students you will attract. Becoming a better guitarist yourself also means you can keep students for a longer period of time.  For example, if you are an intermediate guitar player, you may have no problem teaching beginners. But once your students become as good a player as you are, you have to let them go because you have nothing more to teach them. While you can probably find other beginners, you're limiting yourself if you don't continually improve your own skills. With time and experience, you will learn new teaching methods or new tricks that help a particular thing to "click" with your students. Expand your repertoire by talking to other guitar teachers on a regular basis and getting ideas from them. You might consider joining a band or doing open-mic performances on your own to gain exposure. Someone listening to you play may be interested in learning from you. When you start teaching guitar, you are also starting a small business. Regardless of whether you just want to teach guitar on the side, or eventually want to grow your business and quit your day job, good record keeping is essential.  You may want to subscribe to a bookkeeping app or service so you can quickly and accurately record your income and business-related expenses. Keep in mind that you will have to include your income on your taxes, but you also can deduct expenses related to your...

You don't want to have any laces touching the ice or loops in your bow which are too big.  These could cause the lace to end up between the skate and the ice and cause a tripping hazard.  Wrap the remainder of the laces around the boot.  Take the laces around the back of the top of the boot and pull them back to the front.  Do this as many times as necessary until you are left with only enough length to tie a double knot and bow in the laces. If you don't have too much excess lace, you can also tie a double bow to take care of the extra lace.

You don't want to roast someone who will be seriously offended by what you have to say. Think back: have you ever poked fun at the person? If they reacted badly, they may not be a good candidate. You could even ask the person if they'd be comfortable with being roasted, as long as it's not supposed to be surprise. While people who can’t take a joke are often the ones you feel are most deserving of a roast, they’re also usually the worst ones to actually roast.  Stick with people who can laugh at themselves. Whenever you roast someone, you'll find there's a line you don't want to cross. If you cross that line, you could seriously offend the person. The problem is, that line is in a different place for every person, so it can be hard to gauge.  Use your own experience with the person to decide which categories are fair game, and which are off limits. For instance, bringing up the eating habits of someone you know has struggled with an eating disorder or body image issues is not a good idea. On the other hand, bringing up eating habits for another person may be perfectly fine, but they may have an issue if you talk about the way they dress. If you have jokes that you think may go too far, try running them by someone in the social group first. For instance, if you're roasting a co-worker, ask another co-worker what they think. If it's a family member, ask someone else in the family. Usually, someone can tell you if you've gone too far. Pick someone who will be discreet about the material you're testing. If it does go too far, you don't want it to get back around to the person. You should be able to tell if you're going too far by the person's body language. If they're laughing along with everyone else, you're probably doing okay. However, if the person looks uncomfortable, you may want to move on to another topic.  For instance, the person may have a fake smile plastered on. They may even look upset. They may have their arms or legs crossed, leaning away from you, which is an unhappy position. They may also get...

You don't want your fabric to rub against your skin uncomfortably or trap sweat close to your body. Synthetic fabrics and baggy clothing work best. Heat rash is commonly caused by exercise, when you have a higher body temperature and create lots of sweat. If you feel a rash developing, take a break and cool off. Cooling off, changing out of damp, sweaty clothes, or jumping into a cool pool from time to time can help your body effectively regulate temperature, preventing heat rash before it occurs. Most heat rashes occur in infants, when well-meaning parents over-dress their child during hot weather. Babies should wear loose, breathable clothing in the heat as well. Just because a baby's feet or hands feel cool to the touch does not mean they are cold. Heat rashes can appear overnight when you are trapped in damp, hot sheets for extended periods of time. Use fans, open windows, or turn on the AC if you wake up sweaty and uncomfortable.

You don’t have to become a copycat, but notice the visual cues the people provide as to how they feel. Read their body language to determine if they feel nervous, scared, stressed, or calm. You’ll most likely find that many feel people feel uncomfortable around strangers, much like yourself. Once you start paying attention to other people’s body language, you can start responding in an appropriate way that matches their feeling state. While it’s important to read other people’s visual cues, be aware of your own, too. If you stand in a corner looking down with your arms crossed, it’s unlikely anyone will approach you in conversation. However, if you smile, keep your head up, and have approachable body language, people may feel more at ease with you and welcome a conversation.  Keep your hands loosely in your lap (if sitting) or comfortably by your sides while standing. Fidgeting with your hands may make you appear nervous or bored. If you feel uncomfortable with your hands or arms, hold a drink or food if it is offered. If you’re sitting, don’t tightly cross your legs, yet don’t keep them overly splayed. You want to find the “happy medium” of appearing approachable yet not sloppy or disinterested. If your legs start to shake, gently cross your legs at the ankles. Practice monitoring socially acceptable boundaries. Avoid standing overly close to people and making people feel physically uncomfortable. Also, monitor the give and take of conversations. Don’t overshare personal details or monopolize the conversation. Take turns talking and listening.  If you notice yourself doing more talking than listening, start to ask open-ended questions to allow the other person an opportunity to speak. Don’t share overly personal details about your life. While this may be fine (and funny) around friends, keep the personal things about wart removal, your “crazy” sister, and all of your life’s hardships for a more appropriate conversation. Sometimes admitting that you feel nervous can break the ice and demonstrate your...

You don’t have to prepare an entire script but it at least gives you a few jumping off points. It will also allow you to organize your thoughts so you can get a sense of how the conversation might go. You can start with saying things similar to, “Dad, I need to tell you something that I’ve been stressed about.” “Mom, do you mind if I talk to you about something?” “Mom, dad, I’ve made a huge mistake and need your help.” IF you don’t already have a relationship with your parents where you talk everyday, begin one by talking about little things. If you make it a habit to talk to your parents about anything, it will be easier for them to hear you out. It also builds your relationship stronger. It’s never too late to talk to your parents. Even if you haven’t talked to them in over a year, start with a simple hello. Say something similar to, “I just wanted to let you know what I’ve been up to and chat for a little bit. We haven’t spoken in a while and I’d like to let you know what’s going on in my life.” Your parents will appreciate the gesture and may find it easier to keep the dialogue open. If you think a topic is too sensitive or you know that your parents will react harshly, ease into the conversation over a period of time. Ask probing questions to get a sense of their response or to hint at what you want to talk about. For example, if you need to talk to your parents about being sexually active, say something like, “Mom, Lisa has been dating her boyfriend for a year now, it seems really serious. Do you think things can be serious in the 11th grade?” By using your friend to give context to a situation, you can gain a lot of insight into how your parents may react to you. You can pick their brain but be careful not to be too obvious as they may be able to figure out your line of questioning and ask you about your situation. It’s impossible to plot out the course of a conversation if you don’t know the destination. Ask yourself what you want the dialogue to accomplish so you know what tools you can use.

You don’t need much to pick elderflowers, but you will need a sharp pair of scissors and a paper bag. It’s best to store cut flowers in paper, because a paper bag will allow them to breathe. Elder plants tend to flower between mid-May and July, so late spring and early summer are your best bet for harvesting flowers for cordial. It’s best to harvest elderflowers on bright, dry, sunny days, and preferably in the morning. You want elderflowers that are ripe and ready to use, but not past their prime. Look for large flowers that are fully in bloom, and choose ones with the fewest dead or brown flowers. Don’t use flowers that still have green buds. With your scissors, cut the stalks to separate the flower heads from the stems. Keep the flower heads upright to preserve the pollen, and gently place the flowers in the bag. Only take a few flower heads from each bush, and then move on to gather more from another bush. This leaves plenty of flowers for the plant itself and for other insects. Freshly cut flowers that are going to be used for cordial should be used within 24 hours to ensure freshness and maximum flavor. Store the flowers in a cool, dry place until you're ready to use them.

You don’t need to deep condition more often than this; in fact, deep conditioning too much can actually damage your hair and cause it to break more easily. Once every week and a half or two weeks should be sufficient. You know it’s time to deep condition when your hair feels a bit dry, or the ends seem ready to split. There are hundreds of store-bought deep conditioners to choose from, and salons offer deep conditioning treatments as well. However, if you don’t want to spend money on a deep conditioner, you can use household ingredients that are just as effective. Here are a few deep conditioners you probably have on hand:  Coconut oil (unrefined) Olive oil Mayonnaise Almond oil An hour will be enough time for the deep conditioner to penetrate your hair and work its magic. If you have time to spare, you may keep it in your hair for several hours or even overnight. In some cases you may need to shampoo two or three times to rinse it all away. This is especially true with coconut oil and olive oil, which are both very rich oils that aren’t easy to wash out. Wash your hair until it no longer feels as though it’s covered in oil. When you dry your hair, it will silky and bouncy.

You don’t physically do anything to the pencil for it to start moving. A combination of gravity, surface level, and awkward pencil placement will inevitably move the pencil to “yes” or “no.” Once the pencil is in place, you should have just enough time to ask a question before the pencil moves. If the pencil doesn’t move, then you’ve balanced the pencil perfectly, and the surface you are using is in balance. In this scenario, alter the balance of the top pencil, so the pencil moves. To make a more exciting video, you might want to dress up the area of where you are performing the challenge. Candles are good props to set an occult feeling. You could also use a white or lace tablecloth. You could also plan ahead and shoot the video in the style of the Blair Witch Project. This technique requires a hand held camera (a smartphone's will work fine) and a flashlight. Have all the lights turned out and begin the challenge  only using a flashlight for light. Generally, people participating in this challenge want to upload their results to Twitter or Vine. If you're going to do that, you'll need to record your challenge. A camera phone should do the trick. You can either record the video yourself or get a pal to film the results for you. Before filming the Charlie Charlie Challenge, make sure the pencils are set up in their proper place. Ask "Charlie Charlie, are you there?" and follow up with your question. Use a yes/no question so that "Charlie" can answer you; for example, you might ask, "Charlie Charlie, are you there? Will I pass my English test?" or "Charlie Charlie, are you there? Will Tim ask me out?" You can add some drama by creepily singing “Charlie" repeatedly. This will give your video more of a horror film feeling. If it works, the top pencil will move to point to one of the answers. Feel free to squeal or scream accordingly. The most popular videos result in the user completely freaking out from the results. Once the pencil moves, have the camera operator jump, yell, and move around the room quickly.

You don’t want the chemicals from your paint to get into your lungs, so make sure the air in your painting area is circulating well. Try opening 2 windows across from each other to create a vacuum effect. So you don’t make a mess, lay down a few layers of newspaper where you’re going to work. If you don't have any newspaper, you can use plastic sheeting or painter's drop cloth instead. You could also work outdoors. When working with strong chemicals like wood glue and paint, make sure that your eyes are covered. Getting paint or glue in your eyes can cause severe damage. In a bowl, combine 1 part water to 1 part wood glue with a disposable stirring stick (like a wooden chopstick or disposable cutlery) until it’s thick and not watery. The priming paste should have a jelly-like consistency. Use a paint brush to apply the paste to the foam, covering the surface of the foam. Use long, even strokes to completely cover the surface. All the strokes should be in the same direction to create an even base for the paint to adhere to. Then, allow the paste to dry until it turns clear.  The size of the paint brush will depend on the size of your foam project. If you have a very large project, use a 4.5 in (11 cm) brush, while if your project is small and intricate, you'll be better off with a 1.5 in (3.8 cm) brush. If the paste creates unsightly marks on the foam, wet your finger with water and brush them out before the paste dries. Depending on the temperature, drying could take up to 24 hours. Make sure that the paste has turned completely clear before you start painting.

You don’t want to just plain out accuse your friend of being a copycat. The first thing you need to do is think about her actions, your relationship, and the situation in order to properly identify if your friend is really a copycat. Consider the following:  Does your friend dress the same way as you? Has your friend incorporated mannerisms like your own? Does your friend talk like you? Has your friend ever stolen your ideas and tried to pass them off as their own? Does your friend like to date the same people as you, or has she tried to steal crushes or romantic interests? Perhaps your friend is not simply copying you, but you are also copying your friend. Often times friends sort of feed off of and influence each other. It might be that you have a reciprocal influence where you are both copying each other to an extent. If this is the case, you might be able to stop mimicking your friend and embrace your own style. She might do the same. Find someone you can confide in, maybe a relative, or a very close friend of your own. Avoid involving a friend you both share—this will just put that person in an undesirable situation.  Ask the person to evaluate the situation to see if she agrees that your friend is a copycat. Your confidant might agree with you, or she might disagree with you. This will give you more perspective before you take any further steps to deal with the copycat. It might be that while you think you’re very cutting edge and hip, that you are following current trends (you might not be trendy, just avant-garde). Your friend could also be taking the same cues from TV, radio, and other forms of media, and trying to stay cool. It could also be that your friend is taking cues about “coolness” and popular culture from you – you are her barometer for what is currently cool. You could choose to approach your copycat’s actions as a compliment. After all, you are the best judge of how harmful her actions are.  If you think she is just complimenting you, then it might be ok. Consider if her imitation is...

You don’t want to move all of your money to your new account until you are sure that all activity is ceased on the old one. Transferring your bills and paychecks to your new account can take a little time, so make sure you leave both accounts open for up to a month.  You’ll need a government-issued photo ID to open a new bank account. If you don’t have this, you may be able to use 2 official forms of non-photo ID instead, such as your social security card, voter registration card, or birth certificate.  If possible, set up an electronic link between the 2 accounts so you can easily transfer money back and forth as needed. Some transactions can take a few days to go through, so stop using any checks or debit/credit cards associated with your old account at least a week before you close it. Take out enough money to live on while you are in the process of changing banks, as well as the money for any fees needed to open your new account. Fees to open a new account can vary widely, so make sure you know what these will be beforehand. Contact the payroll department at your job and give them the direct deposit information for your new account. Changes to direct deposit can sometimes take more than one pay cycle, so be sure not to close your old account until you are sure the transfer has taken effect. If you have any payments which are automatically withdrawn from your old account, make sure you set these up to come out of your new account instead. Look through your statements for at least 4 months to make sure you don’t forget about any payments you make quarterly, like insurance. If possible, close your old account in person and get paperwork documenting the closure. This will protect you in case your bank tries to charge you additional fees later on. If you have any pending checks which bounce after the account is closed, you will still be liable for any penalties and fees associated with insufficient funds.

You eliminate the naturally produced oils when you rub shampoo through your hair. These oils protect your hair shafts and moisturize your scalp.  When you send processed chemicals through your hair, you break it down and prevent it from growing out in a healthy fashion. Think of it like obsessively washing your hands. The more you wash, the drier and more cracked they become. You don't need to stop washing your hair entirely. Start by washing every other day. Once you get used to this, you can wash every three days. This schedule is recommended in solidifying good hair health. When you wash your hair, make sure that you aren't damaging it. Overuse of shampoo can crack your hair and make your split ends worse.  Shampoo your scalp only, being careful not to scrub the ends of your hair. The soap will slide down your ends when you rinse, cleaning them without excessive force. Harshly scrubbing the ends themselves will deteriorate your hair. Some people think that you have to change your shampoo often. According to experts, it's better to stick with a product that works for you. If you have oily hair or use product, you might want to break up your routine with a clarifying shampoo. Stronger shampoos wash away extra residue left behind from oil or overuse of products. While shampooing too often will damage your hair, most conditioners replenish lost lipids and proteins. Whenever your hair is wet, you'll want to condition it.  Any dye or heat application strips your hair of these essential lipids and proteins. The strands toward the base of your hair grow weaker over time. You want to bolster them again. You'll also seal the cuticle at the end of hair. This prevents future damage from occurring. If you can fight these issues, your hair will stay healthy and strong for a longer period of time. Studies show that any irritation or inflammation to the scalp can greatly damage the health of your hair. Some people don't notice their hair damage until it begins to fall out. You want to avoid this fate by taking care of...

You gain a copyright as soon as you fix the music in a tangible medium of expression. Accordingly, you gain a copyright as soon as you write down the music or record it. You do not gain copyright protection by simply playing a song over and over again. It must be affixed in a tangible medium. You can give people notice that your music is copyrighted by affixing a symbol to copies of your music. You are not required to give copyright notice. However, it can help warn others that the music is copyrighted.  For sound recordings, you should use the letter P within a circle as your symbol. Also include the year the sound recording was first published and the name of the copyright owner. If you write down your music, then use the letter C within a circle and include the year the music was published, along with the name of the copyright owner. You are not required to register it with the Copyright Office. You have a copyright in your music even if you don’t register it. However, registration provides you with many advantages. For example:  You generally cannot sue in federal court for someone infringing your copyright unless you have registered the copyright. In a lawsuit, the court will consider your registration as proof of your ownership. You can get more compensation in a lawsuit if you are registered. For example, you qualify for attorneys’ fees and statutory damages of up to $150,000 per infringement of your music if you have copyrighted it. This publication from the U.S. Copyright office tells you everything you need to know about registering a copyright for music in the United States. The circular will explain whether you are registering a copyright for a “musical composition” or for a “sound recording.” It will also tell you how to register multiple songs in one filing. You should download it and read it.  A “musical composition” consists of music and any accompanying words. Usually, composers and lyricists register a copyright in musical compositions. A “sound recording” consists of a series of musical,...

You have just removed a lot of dirty water, and you will need to replace it. Fish are very sensitive to water changes, so the new water will have to be the same temperature as the old. Most tanks should have a thermometer, but if yours doesn't, you'll need to stick a clean, glass thermometer into the water. Make sure that the bucket never came to contact with any chemicals or cleaners. Any residue left behind can be extremely deadly for your fish. Fill the bucket with water that is the same Most tap water is not aquarium safe. Use any necessary water conditioners to remove chlorine and other harmful chemicals. You can buy these from an aquarium store or in the aquatics department of a pet store. You will be reverse siphoning the water back into the tank. The bucket must be above the water level, or the water will not siphon back properly. Simply pouring the water back in might seem easier, but this can cause debris to rise up and cloud the water. If you are using a gravel vacuum with a plastic siphon, see if you can pop the flexible tube off. Slowly let go of the tube. The water should start flowing back into the tank. This space is important. Fish need oxygen, and if you don't leave that space, the water won't get enough oxygen for your fish. Once your aquarium is all set up again, plug the heater back in, and restart the filter and pump. Take note of when you cleaned your tank, and make a note on your calendar for the next cleaning date.

You have several options for airline travel: having your pet travel with you on the same plane, booking your pet on another flight, or shipping your pet to the US via a licensed commercial shipper. If you pet will be traveling on the same plane with you, he can travel in the cabin with you, be checked in as baggage, or shipped as cargo.  Only small dogs and cats are allowed to travel in the cabin with you and they must be securely stowed under the seat in a special carrier in front of you. Ask your airline about carrier requirements if your pet will be traveling in the cabin. Dogs and cats checked-in as baggage or shipped as cargo must be in a sturdy carrier that will allow them enough space to comfortably stand, sit and lie down.  Air travel can be very tough on pets, but airlines do make efforts to make the flight comfortable for pets that are shipped as baggage or cargo. For example, the baggage and cargo area is pressurized and quiet.  Shipping crates can be purchased at your local pet store or through your airline. Make sure the crate is USDA-approved.  If you are not comfortable with booking your pet’s travel on a different flight, or using a commercial shipper, follow your own airline’s pet travel requirements to ensure a smooth traveling process for you and your pet. It is very important for you know your airline’s pet travel requirements before you book your flight. Keep in mind that pet travel requirements will vary from airline to airline, and may differ between US and non-US airlines.   US airlines generally require a health certificate for pets traveling internationally. Some US airlines require the certificate to be no older than 10 days old, while others may require a certificate that is less than 10 days old.  Be aware that pets weighing 100 pounds or more will be considered as cargo. If your pet is around 100 pounds, check with your airline to learn if you will be charged a cargo fee.  It would also be helpful to inquire about where you should pick up your pet after the flight lands. This is...

You have someone who will make your home a heaven! This is not to be taken as personal rejection or any aspersions being cast on you. This is about letting the introvert recharge. If you're concerned, have a discussion and suggest that the introvert-in-the-house at least signal that he or she needs downtime and is going off to be alone. That way, everyone else knows what is happening and won't disturb the introvert or take it personally. The introvert needs somewhere personal, quiet and undisturbed to retreat to within the home space. If this is not offered, the introvert can become stressed and tense, a feeling that can impact everyone in the household. If you are living in an environment where space is a problem, consider making a schedule to get all of the extroverts out of the house once a day, to allow the introvert to have complete peace. If you're an extrovert and your partner is an introvert, share out the chores to the person who is best at doing them. For example, your introvert partner may be the best for checking the tax details and choosing the house decorating colors, while you might be best at planning parties and receiving the house guests warmly or cold calling the plumbers to get quotes for renovating your dilapidated bathroom. Talk openly about what the introvert finds difficult to do and reach compromises about who does what. Also take care to avoid creating your own bubble and failing to make friends or keep in touch with friends. While you have each other, broader perspective is absolutely essential to feeding your voracious need to process life's deeper meanings.  If you both are too alike, there is a risk of being overly dependent on one another. Be alert to this potential and be sure to widen your social circle and spend time doing some things apart. While it is a source of comfort to be so similar, do not make it into a crutch. Enjoy the fact that both of you are of one mind while making an effort to keep challenging one another to live life as fully as possible.

You have to be between specific heights for the petite modeling industry. For women, you should typically be no taller than 5’7”, but your height should be above 5’1”. Men should be between 5’4” and 5’9”. The preferred heights may vary depending on the agency and/or agent. Look at your features honestly. Choose at least one feature that stands out and is often complimented, such as your eyes, smile, or legs. Try to draw attention to that feature. This can be done by wearing makeup, or wearing clothing that accentuates that feature.   Wear flattering eye makeup if your eyes are your most complimented feature. Wear form-fitting pants or leggings if your legs are your best feature. If you are having trouble choosing a feature, ask friends what they first noticed about you upon meeting you. good posture. Good posture makes you appear even taller than you are. This can allow you to get noticed even around taller models. Practice sitting with a straight spine, and keep your shoulders back when walking. A stylist and photographer will alter your appearance for photo shoots, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a strong sense of personal style. Decide if you are girly, alternative, earthy, punk, etc. Showing off your personality through your appearance can draw attention to yourself, and lead people to focus on something other than your height.  Wear clothing that sets you apart from the crowd. Don’t be afraid to divert from popular fashion. Try out a hair cut and color that flatters your face and gives you a distinct appearance.

You have to catch your audience's attention in the first paragraph, sometimes in the first sentence. Never underestimate the importance of a great hook.  Remember, in a large contest, judges are reading hundreds and thousands of entries; even small contests can have over a hundred entries. Therefore, if you don’t catch the judge's attention in the first paragraph, it’s possible he or she will throw it out at that point. The judges want to be able to get through all the entries in the shortest amount of time, so they will not spend very long on each individual story. If the story wants to go somewhere you didn’t really plan, let it go that way. Sometimes happenstance makes for the best stories. This piece of advice is almost cliché  now, but it is still important. In other words, don’t just tell the reader someone is having an emotion, such as “Kate was sad.” Give the reader details to show Kate is sad, for example:  “Kate reached up to rub the back of her neck. She ducked her head for a moment, and then wiped away a tear before it could roll down her face.” This type of detail makes the story richer, and it gives the reader a part to play in interpreting. Use just enough words to get the point across. Most judges would rather read a shorter story that is done well than a longer story that is rambling. Don’t just use dialogue as filler. Instead, make sure it moves the story along. A story needs conflict of some type to be interesting. Whether it’s inner conflict or something going on in a character’s life, the conflict is the heart of the story. In a story, you build tension over the course of the narrative, which reaches its final height just before the end of the story. In other words, your story must come to a head at some point.

You have to change the settings on Word before you can create your booklet. You can turn a document you've already written into a booklet, but it is best to create the booklet layout first and then put the content in. Find the Page layout tab. It should be located in the icon in the corner of Page Setup. This is in Page Setup under Margins. You'll go to the drop down tab, which will be on Normal and you'll change it to Book fold. While you don't have to do this, it's a good idea to change the Gutter setting from 0 to 1 so that words don't end up jumbled into the binding. You can get an idea of what the booklet is going to look like formatting-wise. From there you simply have to add the content (or make sure that content looks how you want it to look if you already had content). You can change anything that doesn't look right and you can add anything that your booklet needs (like page numbers). You will need to print on both sides of the paper, otherwise your booklet is going to end up with a lot of blank pages, which you don't necessarily want. You can have your printer do this automatically, or manually (which means you'll need to stand there and feed paper to the printer). If you are manually feeding the paper to the printer make sure that you orient the pages properly. You do not want to end up with upside down pages in your booklet. Make sure that you put together the booklet with the corresponding pages. This is why it's a good thing to have page numbers. When you fold, it's a good idea to start by folding each page individually and then putting them together. You can staple along the fold once you've folded the pages. The above method is the most basic way of creating a booklet in Word, but you can find lots of cool design templates on the internet or through Word if you want something a little more creative or enticing.

You may already have a good sense of what your parents’ arguments against an intercaste relationship will be. If not, try asking a few questions so that you understand exactly why they object to the idea. Then you can work on building some counterarguments.  For example, maybe your parents are worried about how other family members would react, or perhaps they think an intercaste marriage in the family would have a negative impact on their status in the community. If you’re not ready to bring up your situation with your parents directly, try to think of ways to ask them how they feel indirectly. For example, try bringing up another inter-caste couple you know and see how they react. You could say, “Did you hear my friend Aditya is finally marrying his girlfriend?” Your parents might respond with something like, “It’s going to be so difficult for their children! How will they know what caste they belong to?” Once you have some ideas about how you want to make your case, write them all down so that you don’t forget. Go over each argument you think your parents are likely to make and come up with a strong counterpoint. If possible, come up with specific evidence or examples to back up your arguments. For example, if your parents think that couples from different castes can’t get along because of lifestyle or cultural differences, come up with a list of all the things you and your significant other have in common. If you can find good evidence that intercaste relationships can work out, it may help sway your parents’ opinion. Look at your extended family or circle of family friends and see if you can find any intercaste couples among them who are happy and successful.  You can strengthen your argument even more by finding examples of same-caste couples you know who are unhappy or unsuccessful.  Try to pinpoint reasons not related to caste for the success (or lack of it) in these relationships. For example, try to demonstrate that the couples with compatible personalities or similar interests do better than the...

You may also choose to write down other keywords that apply to the position or industry. Large companies use keyword crawlers to sort through hundreds of thousands of resumes, so make sure you include a few buzzwords that directly apply to the job.  However, you should never cut and paste directly from the job description. Always bring up the concepts in your own words. Describe yourself and the job.  For example, “Top-performing Sales Manager seeks General Manager position.”   If you don’t feel comfortable describing yourself, reference the position name. You will lead directly with a salutation. Take the time to research the person in the job positing, company website or on LinkedIn.  Use Mr. or Mrs. only if you are sure of the gender and marital status. When in doubt, just include the full name of the person. If you are unable to find the person’s name, address the department or “Dear Hiring Manager.” Just like with the formal cover letter, if you cannot make a connection, tell a story about why the company has caught your eye. Follow with your accomplishments. Include only your impressive figures that directly apply to the cover letter narrative and the job. Include “Sincerely” and then your full name. Make sure your contact information is included in the signature. To avoid problems with hitting the Send button early, finish, proof and fill out the subject line of your email before typing the hiring manager’s email address in the “To” line. Choose Gmail over Hotmail or Yahoo; however, an email from your personal website or Outlook will be better.

You may assume that your parents already know you love them. Even if this is true, it’s nice to hear those three little words. Tell your parents you love them whenever you can. You may be amazed at how happy it will make them. Take you time to say it and be sure to make contact. There's a big different between an "I love you, Mom," and a "Love ya!" Although telling someone how much you mean to them in person is great, there’s something about putting a pen to paper. Write your parents a letter thanking them for all that they have done for you. Having it on paper allows them to look at it whenever they want to remember your thoughtful words. It may also be easier for you to express yourself in this way, rather than saying it to them face-to-face.  You could also write a poem or short story to express your gratitude and love. They will likely appreciate the time and effort you put into creating this gift for them.  Another option is to send a nice e-card with a personal message if you are not the creative type. Touch is the most basic form of communication among humans. As a baby, your parents comforted you when you cried. As a growing child, they may have nursed your bo-bos or caressed you after a nightmare. Unfortunately, touch as a form of affection is often lost as children grow older. Offer your parents a hug to show your love. The act of hugging releases a bonding hormone that reduces stress and helps fight off physical illness. Hugging your parents more often could actually benefit their health. No matter what their age or their children’s ages, parents usually love homemade gifts. They understand that it takes more time and consideration into making a present than it does to purchase one. Even if the present is less than perfect, they will still appreciate the gesture. You could paint your parents a picture, make them a card, take a portrait of them and put it in a frame, or even create a sculpture. Or, you can just dedicate an entire day to spend with them one-on-one. Your phone calls don’t have to be...

You may be able to dislodge the dirt in your eye with very little effort. Once you notice the dirt in your eye, blink your eyes several times. The blinking reflex in the eye allows the lashes and lids to move tears around and remove bacteria and debris out of the eye. If simple blinking does not help, stretch your upper eyelid over your lower eyelid and then blink your eye repeatedly. This allows the lashes on the lower lid to sweep the dirt out of your eye. If blinking doesn't get the dirt out, you need to intervene. Before touching your eye, however, you need to wash your hands. Washing hands before handling your eyes is important to reduce any possible contamination from bacteria, germs, or additional irritants. You don't want to remove any dirt from your eye only to infect it with something worse. This is important because your eyes are vulnerable to infections. Wash your hands with antibacterial soap and warm water. Dry them on a clean towel. When you have dirt in your eye, you will likely have an increase in tear production. If you do, close your eyelids gently and dab your eye with a tissue. The increased tear production will help flush out the dirt.  Allow your eyes to water and the tears to wash them clean.  Do not rub your eyes. Use the tissue to gently blot up the overflow as it washes out of your eye. Pull your lower eyelid down and slowly look around, looking for anything lodged in your eyelid. Do the same with your upper eyelid, looking for anything lodged on your eyeball.  If you want to examine underneath your eyelid, place a cotton swab right above the upper eyelid and flip the lid over with the cotton swab. This will allow you look for any dirt lodged in the eyelid itself.  If you are having a hard time finding the dirt, have a friend or family member do the inspection for you. If the dirt is on your eyelid or easily accessible area of your eye, you may be able to remove it with a cotton swab. If you can see the area of your eye or eyelid where the dirt is, take a clean cotton swab and dab...

You may be asked questions about your gaps in employment. It is best to tell the truth in these cases. When you do, make sure to play up the positive aspects, if you can. Don't use this as an opportunity to say negative things about your previous employer. You don't want to come across as a complainer, or as a person with a negative or toxic attitude.   If your employer asks you about time in prison, or criminal charges, in many cases you are required to tell them the truth by law. Background checks may or may not be used, and these will more than likely reveal prison time. By being honest and forthcoming, you establish your integrity, you indicate: “you can trust me”. Be vague. Talk about the work generally. Refer not to the specific task you did, but to the general industry. You might say you “had a stint in the entertainment industry” Omit. In this case, you might just say that you were unemployed. Some previous employment can reflect poorly on you, and in such cases, it may be necessary to say that you were not working at all. This can be better than ruining your chances at a fulfilling job. The last thing you want is for your employer to think that you will be sick again, or need to go on vacation, soon. Even if you might be planning a vacation, you don't want this to hurt your chances at employment. Make sure they feel this will not be an ongoing problem. If you were on an extended vacation, talk about how you're eager to feel productive and career driven again. Many people overlook the fact that not all work has to be paid. There are many instances where gaps in employment are connected to times when an individual develops new skills or continues to improve professionally. Volunteering, raising children, and sabbaticals can all represent time dedicated to improvement. Highlight these aspects when discussing employment gaps during an interview.

You may be familiar with a few wines on the list because you've had them before. If you enjoyed them, you could play it safe and order one of these. If you feel like branching out and experiencing a new varietal, order something you've never tried before. You don't have to order something completely out of your comfort zone. For example, if you know you like French Pinot Noir, why not try a Pinot Noir from the West Coast of the U.S.? Think about the characteristics of wine that you drink and choose a wine that matches those profiles. If you don't have time to learn varietal profiles, you should be able to describe the flavors you want. These are some popular flavor profiles and examples of varietals that meet them:   Light and fruity: Lambrusco, Primitivo, and Garnacha Light and earthy: Burgundy, Beaujolais, Riesling Bold and fruity: Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz or Syrah, Zinfandel, Merlot, and Malbec Bold and earthy: Cabernet Franc, Bordeaux, Sangiovese, Tempranillo, or Chianti Even if you don't know a lot about wine, you probably realize that wines from France and the Napa Valley are in high demand. This makes them a safe choice to order, but it also means that they might cost you a little more. Consider sticking with one of these crowd-pleasing wines:  Merlot Cabernet Riesling Pinot Noir Chardonnay Wine is grown all over the world, not just in the popular regions you've seen the most. Do your research or ask the sommelier to recommend an interesting and overlooked wine-growing region. These are great deals because they usually cost as much as wines from well-known regions. Try a wine from one of these overlooked regions:  South Africa Argentina New Zealand Chile Moldova If you'd like a few specific recommendations, tell the sommelier what you're planning to eat and give them a rough idea of your budget. It can also help to tell them what varietals you usually enjoy. Then, they should be able to give you at least a couple of suggestions. Try to be specific when asking for information about the wine. Instead...

You may be shy in certain situations and more comfortable speaking in others. Choose an area where you would like to improve. Do you want to be more talkative at work? Would you like to talk to new people? Do you disappear in group conversations? For example, If you were trying to speak more at work, a goal may be to give your opinion in a meeting or make small talk with 2 coworkers every day. There are many thought patterns that can cause you to become shy and uncomfortable in social settings. Although these thoughts are not the truth, they can make you feel insecure and less confident. Common thoughts include:  You are weird and/or unlikeable. People will constantly judge you. People will reject you if you make a mistake. You are defined by what other people think of you. Being rejected is the worst thing that can happen to you. Your opinions are not important. You have to say the right thing every time. As a shy person, you probably spend a lot of time in your own head. You have many thoughts that you do not share with other people, and you are used to being silent. You must train your brain to actually say your thoughts out loud.  Whenever you are completely alone (e.g. in the shower, your room, in the car) say every thought that comes to your mind. Talk to yourself out loud for at least 5 minutes every day. It will feel weird at first, but you will get used to it the more you do it. You may be shy because you are afraid of rejection or looking silly or dumb in certain situations. You cannot overcome your fears overnight. It will take time and practice. Set an overall goal and then take small steps to reach it. Start with the least stressful steps and work your way up. For example, if you are afraid of talking to new people in a group setting, here are the steps you could take:  Smile and make eye contact with a few people. Ask someone a question such as, "How did you hear about this event?" or "Have you been here before?" Find an approachable group of people and then join the group. Listen to the...

You may be surprised at how often you think about that person. It may be irritating to you and difficult to distract yourself from. If your thoughts are very romantic and obsessive about that person, or if they cause you dread and anxiety inducing feelings of near panic, you may be infatuated.  For example, you might say to your friend "I can't stop thinking about this person!" If you have major mood swings depending on how you think the person you like feels about you, you may be infatuated. You may feel utter joy and sheer happiness, if you think the person likes you back. Or, if you don't get enough of a response from them, or you think that the person does not like you back, you can become completely dejected, sad or upset.  Also, you switch between the two emotions very quickly. At one moment you entertain the possibility of your feelings being reciprocated, but at the very next moment you hit a wall of fear when you consider something new and decide that the person could not possibly feel the same way about you. You imagine that your life from now on will involve this person, and you find yourself redefining your life in the big picture in terms of this new person. If you believe that your bond is forever with someone you have recently started having feeling romantic feelings for, you may be infatuated. A person who is infatuated will typically have romantic feelings for that one person. Additionally, the infatuated person will want to be the only person for the person they desire. In a report, studies showed that 87% of people who were infatuated desired their love object sexually.  Having sex, however, was not the main, driving part of the people’s desire for the person they were infatuated with. Most often, the people who were infatuated wanted to share an emotional connection with that person above anything else. People who are infatuated typically only notice the good things in the person they have feelings for. They also do not seem to notice or care about the negative qualities of that person....

You may feel stuck in peaceful coexistence with your spouse without truly engaging with each other. While the relationship may appear stable on the surface, you may be distancing yourselves, which affects your ability to relate to one another. Stay involved with one another. Ask about each other’s day, friends, work, and life. Don’t become strangers to each other, but keep that daily connection, however small. Don’t just get lost in the daily ho-hum of life, work, children, and running the house; make sure you are connecting on an emotionally intimate level. Make time to talk about your intimacy, goals, dreams, feelings, thoughts desires. Talk about your failures, letdowns, and disappointments. Talk about you, your partner, and your marriage. Intimacy occurs when you are able to be vulnerable with your partner. Create an atmosphere of trust and safety, letting your partner know that you love and support him or her. If your partner has a passion, don’t squash it, even if it’s uninteresting to you. Instead, support your partner by supporting what is important to your partner. And similarly, make sure you communicate to your partner what is important to you. Showing your support of your partner can go a long way.  Make compromises based on what is important to each of you.

You may feel tempted to try easing your partner’s loss by mirroring her late spouse’s appearance or taking up their former responsibilities or pastimes. You must remember you are a separate person. Do not try to act as a surrogate for your significant other’s late partner, as this role will be impossible to fulfill. You will only hurt yourself and your partner in the long run. Your presence in your partner’s life is a sign of her trying to move past her pain and loss. Your relationship symbolizes a new chapter that, with work, will hopefully blossom into a mutually fulfilling and wonderful experience. Sometimes your partner may say things that hurt your feelings. She may openly equate you with her late significant other or refer to your relationship in a way that presents it as “unequal.” It is okay to have these feelings. Talk to your partner and try to come to a solution that meets both of your needs. If you find yourself faced with enormous feelings of anxiety or sadness regarding where you fit into your partner’s life, there’s nothing wrong with talking to a professional. They can help you to better understand these feelings and learn how to manage them in a healthy way.

You may feel the urge to cry in specific situations, like when confronting authority. Though that urge might feel like it is beyond your control, there is usually an identifiable cause. Even just identifying the cause can help you gain control or avoid the situation in the future. You may feel a range of emotions, such as:  Sadness Fear Anxiety Joy Frustration Grief Shedding tears will be related to the emotions you are feeling and the thoughts you are having at the time, even when they don't seem immediately related. Consider the kinds of thoughts you are having when you feel like crying, and seek to find the connection.  For instance, if you feel the urge to cry in a happy situation, consider whether you think the situation is “too good to be true,” or is fleeting. If you feel the urge to cry when you are being evaluated (such as during a review at work), determine if your thoughts are causing you to feel judged harshly, singled out personally, inadequate, etc. Even in tense situations, you have some control over your thoughts and feelings. When you are communicating with someone and feel the urge to cry, consider what you are telling yourself as you listen to this person.  For instance, if you are being evaluated at work and your manager suggests there are areas you could improve upon, are you telling yourself this means “I am terrible at my job,” or are you concentrating on forming a specific plan of action to move forward? Similarly, if a friend is upset with you and you feel the urge to cry, ask yourself if you are telling yourself “My friend hates me,” or simply that “I have done something specific to hurt my friend, and I should not do this again.” Sometimes, the way you think could contribute to your crying. For example, you might overgeneralize a situation or think in terms of "all or nothing." These can make a situation seem more dire than it is. Try to use logic to redirect your thoughts. By observing your internal feedback, you can determine if you are being self-critical; this is a common reason...

You may feel uncomfortable as a man buying women’s clothes in public. If you bring a woman with you, people will probably either assume that she is buying the clothes for herself or as a gift for someone else. This is especially helpful if you haven’t come out to friends or family as someone who cross-dresses and want to keep it a secret.  If you have crossdressing or male-to-female transgender friends, bringing them along can be a huge confidence boost. They’ve gone through the same things you’re going through now and can help give you support when shopping for the first time. Shopping with friends is also important for safety reasons. You can avoid being accosted or harassed if you’re in group. Many crossdressers prefer doing their shopping at thrift stores because people they know are less likely to shop there. This way, they can shop in peace without worrying about someone seeing them. Try shopping during an off-peak time to further reduce the chances you’ll encounter someone you know. Weekday mornings are usually quiet in most retail stores. You will probably receive a few strange looks while shopping for women’s clothes, especially if you’re trying them on. Try and ignore these reactions unless someone confronts you. For the most part, store employees will probably treat you like any other customer. As long as you are polite and courteous, employees should treat you with respect. If you do experience a rude employee, consider leaving that store and shopping somewhere else. No need to give that store your business if you were treated badly.
