Article: Most mechanical bulls are surrounded by bouncy, padded flooring. Use this padding to hop up and get your right or left leg over the bull. Then, use your hands and arms to steady yourself on top. Your legs should hang down on each side of the bull's back. Some people might have trouble initially mounting the bull because it is too high. This is why you should use the padded flooring to your advantage. Try not to jump too high because you might miss and jump over the bull completely. Mechanical bulls will either have a padded strap or a long rope handle that you can hold on to. Use this after you jump up on the bull to stable yourself and adjust your positioning. It is best to hold on to it underhanded with your non-dominant hand. Holding on to the rope underhand allows for the best stability when the bull is in motion. It also helps you to release your grip more easily when you fall. It's best to position your body as far forward on the saddle as you can. This will help to minimize your movement, which will ultimately keep you on the bull longer. Once you are far up on the saddle, squeeze the sides of the bull with your thighs so you are firmly rooted to the bull's body. Position your legs forward and avoid angling them behind you when you're sitting on the bull. If your feet are behind you, it will be harder for you to balance while the bull is moving and you may fall forward on the bull if it moves down. Once your legs are positioned correctly, dig your heels into the sides of the bull and point your toes outward. This will allow you to get a better grip on the bull with your feet. Don't use your toes to try to hold on to the bull. They do not have enough strength to keep a good grip.

Article: You do a little more than to your appearance than what you've been doing before. Use a new perfume if you're a girl or a new cologne if you're a guy. Wear your favorite clothing item or accessory. Make sure it's something you've gotten compliments on. Start getting fitter and healthier. Exercise and eat more fruits and vegetables. This may seem obvious but many forget this. Remember that there is no pressure. You are just being friendly. Here are a few icebreakers to use: Smile and make eye contact. Compliment their wardrobe: "I really like your shirt." Make small talk about something relevant: "Are you going to homecoming?" or "Did our team win the game last night?" One of the best parts of having a crush is gossiping about it with your friends. Sharing these feelings with them can make your relationship with them better. Also, your secret might reach other people and eventually get to your crush. Friends may try to embarrass you. Understand that this is part of the process. They will tease you even though they like someone secretly too. This might sound far fetched but you could become your crush's BFF (best friend forever). From afar, you may still wonder what this person is like. But as friends, you get to know your crush and they also get to know you. You could start by asking questions. "What do you like to do on weekends?" "What is your family like?" "What do you want to do when you get older?"

Take special care of your appearance. Say hello and be friendly. Tell your friends about your crush. Become friends with your crush if you're not already friends with them.
Article: Whether you want to start a college that can grant full degrees or you want to start a school that specializes in a specific field, such as electrical engineering or a culinary school, you need a comprehensive list of all of the courses you plan to offer. You'll present it to state education boards for accreditation and so you can attract prospective faculty and students. For a full-degree granting college, create a list of general courses, such as Biology 101, and then build the list into more specific and focused courses. Look up educational requirements in your area so you can make sure you include all of the required classes of an accredited college. Develop a curriculum for each of the courses you plan to offer so your college is more professional and legitimate. Look online for existing curricula and courses that have been used by other colleges for each of the subjects. Look for common components and use it as a model to make sure your curricula are up to current standards and aren't missing any major elements. For instance, if you're putting together a curriculum for a basic anatomy course, look online for other anatomy class curriculum so you can make sure yours isn't missing anything. Creating a class curriculum from scratch is much harder than using an established curriculum as a sample. Separate the course into units that cover a specific element or topic. Then, break down each unit into specific classes and what will be covered. To help reinforce the lessons of each class, craft assignments that students must complete to help them fully understand the main topic of each unit. Use the acronym SWBAT, which stands for "Students Will Be Able To" to help guide your units. Ask yourself what you expect the students to be able to do or know at the end of each unit. Incorporate tests and quizzes designed to assess the students' understanding of the topic. Comprehensive tests or assessments should be included at the halfway point and the end of each course so students can show that they understand the material. Write a syllabus for each class that lists the units and topics that will be covered as well as any textbooks, books, or other materials that each student will need to have for the class. Include a description of the course, the grading and evaluation policy, as well as classroom policies such as class rules, homework, and make-up assignments.
