Article: Use common search terms like "teaching assistant" or "TA" on popular job boards and find vacancies that match your experience and level of education. Read the jobs' requirements and make sure that you have all the required education and certificates required for the positions that you apply to. Popular teaching-specific job boards include https://www.edjoin.org/, https://www.higheredjobs.com/, and https://www.teachers-teachers.com/. If you're currently in a higher education program you can usually find TA opportunities on your college's website. Some schools require students to be an upperclassman or to have completed the course that they are applying to. Check out the opportunities on the site and consider the positions posted. If you know the professor that instructs the class you're applying to, it may increase your chances of getting the position. In some schools, the prior teaching assistant will interview you and determine whether you're good for the job. Sometimes professors in higher education have open TA positions that they need to fill. If you are close with the professor and have gotten a good grade in the course, ask them if they need a TA for next semester. Since the professor already knows you, there's a greater chance of landing the job. The professor may still require you to apply to the job through the website. If you performed poorly in the class or missed a lot of classes, the professor may be reluctant to offer you a TA position.

Search for TA jobs online. Look at your school's website if you're attending college. Ask your professor for TA opportunities instead of looking online.
Article: In roofing terms, a "square" is 100 square feet (9.3 meters). Therefore, divide your total area by 100 (or 9.3 if you're using meters) to get the number of squares. So, for instance, if your total is 2,381 square feet, that's approximately 23.8 squares or 24 squares, rounded up. You can also use an app or a roofing calculator to decide how many shingles you'll need. If you're in a country other than the U.S., check the size of roofing bundles in your area before making this calculation, as they can vary from country to country. Shingles typically come in a bundle that's large enough to cover 1/3 of a square. To figure out how many bundles you'll need, multiply the number of squares by 3. So if you have 24 squares, multiply that by 3 to get 72 bundles. Felt is what goes under the shingles. If you're buying 15-pound felt, 1 roll will be enough for 4 squares. If you're buying 30-pound felt, 1 roll will be enough for 2 squares. Divide your squares by one of these numbers to get the number of rolls you'll need, depending on the thickness of felt you want. If you're trying to cover 24 squares, divide by 4 for a 15-pound roll to get 6 rolls. If you're trying to cover 24 squares with a 30-pound roll, divide by 2 to get 12 rolls. Multiply the number of rolls by 1.15 to find out the total you need, then round up the nearest whole number. For instance, multiply 6 by 1.15 to get 6.9 rolls (7 rolls) or multiply 12 by 1.1.5 to get 13.8 rolls (14 rolls). That way, you won't run out if you make a mistake or have excess waste.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Convert the area into roofing squares, the measurement used for materials. Determine the number of shingle bundles you'll need by multiplying by 3. Figure out the amount of roofing felt you'll need by dividing by 2 or 4. Increase these numbers by 15% to account for waste.
Article: An easy, fun prank is to blow up a bunch of balloons and fill her room with them. Do this when she is out at work or over at a friend's house. Make sure the balloons fill the room completely. Shut the door after you have filled the room so she is in for a fun surprise when she opens her bedroom door. Go for balloons in your girlfriend's favorite color to add something a little special to the prank. Another good way to prank her space is to cover her room in bright post it notes from top to bottom. Layer the Post-It notes all over her furniture, the walls, and the windows in her room. Put Post-Its on her computer and other items. Do this when she is away for the night or out of town. That way, when she comes home, she'll be in for a fun surprise. Tin foil is a cheap, easy way to pull a prank on your girlfriend. Wrap all the items in her bedroom in tin foil. Put tin foil all over the items in her bathroom or her living room. Choose a room she uses often and make it harder for her to access by using tin foil. If you have the time and energy, wrap her belongings in several layers of tin foil. This will make it harder for her to unwrap each item. Make her shower nice and "toasty" by placing slices of toast in her shower. Position freshly toasted slices of bread in her bathtub. Then, wait for her reaction when she goes to take a shower or a bath.
