People like girls that have their own thing. Remember in order to be an it-girl you have to be different and special. Little things, whether its brightening up your pink phone with Swarovski crystals, customizing your bag with felt tips or your kickers with playboy shoelaces, will make you that bit original. Remember: Don't try too hard. Make it look like it comes naturally. Show everyone that your interested in learning new things; people that never want to do anything are boring! It could be anything, like singing or writing your own songs to cheerleading or art, just as long as you show your true potential people will respect you because you're good at something. Just don't be big headed about it or show off. It's good to always do at least one of the arts and play at least one sport, even if you didn't have to actually try out for the team. Hiking in your local park can be good too. No one wants to be seen with a slacker. You want to be seen as someone exiting, but you have to show everyone that you're serious and care about your education. Try to get all As and Bs. Don't freak out if you get a C, just study more often. When it comes to learning, bunking off or smoking in the toilets is not a good idea. If you take life as a joke people won't take you seriously and will mess around with you. Maybe it's getting to know the teachers, or being in the paper staff. Whatever it takes, always know what's going on in school. Also, always be ready to lend a helping hand. It boosts your school reputation. This is the most important. Being an it girl is not just about being popular and pretty, it's also about respecting yourself and others around you, and having good values in life. If you're fake or mean, everyone will hate you. Smile and laugh a lot (but not obnoxiously) Never make someone feel down or talk to them like you're better than them. Treat everyone as an equal; when something looks good on someone, tell them! Don't over-compliment them, as this might make you look like a bad friend. Okay, confession time. You love to crack jokes, don't you? Humor is a good boost of confidence, but too much will make it seem awkward - find an ending point.

One-sentence summary -- Be unique. Find your talent. Make good grades and study hard. Know what's going on at school. Be nice and be yourself! Don't be too humorous.

Before you can do anything you will need to put your kite together and get it in the air. Lay your kite on its back, connect it to the pump, and inflate it.Setting up a surf kite for the first time isn't that hard, though it is easier if you have an experienced friend to help. Tether your kite down while inflating, so it doesn't blow away. Learning on land can be done on the beach or even at a park. You don't necessarily need to be near the water for this, generally stable wind. Walk backwards, downwind towards the launch point, laying out your line cleanly behind you as you go. Your partner should turn the kite over and stand with the kite ready in the edge of the wind window to catch the wind. When you are ready, give your friend a signal to launch the kite. It should fly up and as high as possible, while being centered. Get used to flying your kite on land. You should be in control of the kite at all times. Practice flying the kite at the right and the left without losing control to practice turning. The area in which you maintain control is called your wind window. Keep practicing until you get used to your specific kite's wind window. For most kites the window will be at approximately 11 o'clock on the left and 1 o'clock on the right. If desired and if the area is clear, you can ride a skateboard while you practice flying your kite.

Starfruit, like all citrus fruits, contains acids, so be careful to keep it of your eyes and away from open wounds. After you cut it, wash your hands with hot water and soap to prevent stinging in case you touch your eyes later. Display the starfruit however you see fit, depending on the occasion. All parts of the fruit are edible, so don't waste or throw away any scraps that you would rather eat. Wash your cutting board so that it will be clean and ready for future food preparations. Be sure the counter is clear of any fruit remains, as fruit can rot and smell over time. Starfruit can be used in a vast number of recipes, from starfruit chips to mango-orange sauce. Plan your recipe ahead of time so that you can be sure to account for all ingredients.
