The most effective way to simplify your packing is to use bags that fit the vacation. This doesn't necessarily mean the bag with the most space or the largest number of compartments. Weekend trips should suffice with a single tote or knapsack. Longer vacations should comprise a couple of suitcases, with at least one smaller bag included within the luggage itself. That way, you'll have something to carry around if you're going on walking trips once you've reached your destination.  Compression bags are specially designed to maximize the space therein. You might consider buying one if you travel a lot and have trouble packing the clothes you want into your current bags.  Try to make your luggage look visually unique. A lot of travellers have very similar-looking luggage, and something as simple as a brightly-coloured sticker will make yours stand out in a baggage carousel. Seasoned travellers may debate between neatly folding clothing into luggage, or rolling them up tightly. Neat folds will spare the inevitable creases, but rolling your clothing will save up on precious space, which is arguably more important when you'll need to be carrying everything around. Rolling socks together is especially helpful, as it helps keep pairs of socks together. Versatile items may be defined as things that fulfill more than one use. Something as basic as a roll of duct tape can be used to solve a number of potential problems you may come across. If you're travelling as a party, bring items that more than one of you will use, and share it. In this manner, you'll minimize the amount of stuff you need to bring, all the while maximizing the utility you're getting out of the stuff you do take with you.  Convertible clothing, like pants that can be converted into shorts,  is also recommended for this reason. Shoes are very space-consuming and only serve one purpose. Unless you are bringing multiple pairs of shoes for a specific purpose (such as attending a formal event) it's best to bring a casual pair of shoes and wear them throughout your vacation. Things like books and maps are very helpful to have on a vacation, but they're going to take up an inordinate amount of space in your luggage. Wherever possible, it's best to go digital. If you're planning on reading a lot during your vacation, an e-reader will let you bring hundreds of texts with you at a minimum of space cost. If you have a smartphone, you can use that in lieu of carrying maps and print manuals.  It's good to keep a credit card on you with at least a 1000 dollar limit in case you get into an emergency. However, you're best off keeping the local currency on you in order to save on potential transaction fees from your bank. Try to minimize the amount of devices you bring. Bringing a phone with movies and music saves you having to bring items specifically intended for those purposes.

summary: Use suitable bags or cases. Roll your clothes into rolls. Bring versatile and universal items. Go digital.

Your parents are probably afraid that if you try to become a singer, you’ll have a hard time succeeding and making money in the music industry. Listen to their points quietly and tell them that you understand how they feel. You could even thank them for having your best interests at heart. They’ll be impressed with your maturity and more likely to listen to your ideas now that you’ve heard theirs. Remember that your parents love you and want the best for you in life. They’re not trying to be mean--they’re just looking out for you. Tell them how much you’ve been practicing on your own and how you’ve been improving. Say, “I know I’m young right now, but I’ve found something I really love and that I want to do my whole life. It would mean so much to me if you supported me!” Try not to get to raise your voice or get too emotional. They’ll be more likely to listen to you and agree with your point of view if you stay calm and mature. Maybe your parents think you won’t focus as much on your grades if you take singing lessons, or that you’ll skip college to pursue your dream. Ask them what they’re specifically worried about and compromise.  For example, you could promise to bring your math grade up if your parents let you take singing lessons. You could promise to go to college and double-major in music and something more practical. Your parents will be relieved that you have backup options and that you’re still committed to other parts of your life. If you make a promise, keep it! If you promised to get a good GPA in exchange for getting singing lessons but you don’t bring your grades up, your parents might take your voice lessons away. If your parents become very angry or upset when you bring up your dream of singing, keep your plans to yourself. If you’re still living under your parents’ roof, you’ll have to go along with what they want, at least for now. Continue practicing on your own as much as you can. Tell yourself that this is actually good practice for you: you’ll probably face a lot of critics during your career as a singer. Keep your dream alive and don’t get discouraged! You won’t live with your parents forever. Eventually, you’ll be able to move out and follow your passion.

summary: Listen to their concerns. Explain to them that you’re serious about your dream. Strike a compromise. Continue without their support if you have to.

The vinegar will be cloudy while it’s still warm, so it helps to cool it down. Cover the container with cheesecloth again, and chill it in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
