article: Your normal school backpack might be too big or unnecessary to carry the items you need to bring with you on a field trip. Choose a smaller bag that will fit all of your items but is lightweight and will take up less space. Bring a messenger bag that you can sling over your shoulder for a less bulky option. Use a drawstring bag for a lightweight option that can hold your items. Smaller bags are easier to lose, especially in the hustle and bustle of a school field trip. Use a permanent marker to write your last name in big letters on the bag so you can easily identify it. Write your phone number beneath your name so it can be returned to you if it gets lost. Make sure you have everything that you'll need on the field trip by confirming what you need with your teacher. If there's a checklist that your school or your teacher gave you, double-check it to make sure you've got everything you need. Place any papers such as notes or your itinerary into a folder so it's protected. Heavier items such as schoolbooks and binders need to be stored in your bag first so they don't squish any smaller and lighter items. Arrange the larger items so they're flat against your bag and the spines and edges are poking you when you wear the bag. Place the heavier books and binders in your bag first, then add lighter items like notebooks and folders on top of them. If you need to write or take notes while you're on your field trip, place them into a pencil case or another container so they don't get lost or broken. Put them in your bag on top of the heavier items so you can reach them if you need them. Try to squeeze any highlighters, scissors, or sticky notes that you need into the case. You can find pencil cases at department stores and online. Place your lunch in your bag last so it won't get crushed by the other items. Set it on top of everything else so you can easily reach it and it's less likely to slide around and get squashed while you're wearing your bag. Make sure you pack enough food for the trip. Add a few high-energy snacks like granola bars and trail mix in case you get hungry. If you're able to bring your cellphone on your field trip, back it near the top of your bag or in an external pouch so you can easily access it. Use your phone to take pictures or contact your parents to pick you up after the field trip. Add your teacher or chaperone's phone number to your contacts so you can call them if you need them. You can also use your phone to call your friends or teacher if you get separated from the group. If you're not allowed to bring a phone, don't do it! You could get in trouble and field trips are supposed to be fun! The bus ride to your field trip could be really boring so bring a book that you enjoy to help pass the time. Choose a lightweight book that you can easily store in your bag without taking up too much room. You could also bring headphones and an mp3 player or listen to music on your phone, but that can drain your battery. Make sure it's okay for you to bring a book by asking your teacher first. Use the opportunity to study for your class or read up on the destination of your field trip.

article: Refrigerate any extra batter or dough, covered with plastic, for up to a day. You won't want to use batter that is older than 24 hours. Most batter contains milk and eggs, which can spoil quickly if not used. Batter will also lose its leavening if its left too long. Baking powder and baking soda will lose their efficacy once they are wet. Check to see if it is spoiled or has a smell before using it. Warm up the batter before using. You can get it to slightly cooler than room temperature. You will need the following ingredients and supplies: Leftover pancake batter. Blueberries or chocolate chips. A mini-muffin tin. Cooking spray. You can do this with a whisk or spoon. You want to make sure your batter is well mixed before re-using it. Make sure it is not lumpy or too thin. Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure no lumps of flour are sticking to it. This is the temperature you will need to use to bake your muffins. A 425 degree oven will result in a muffin with crispier edges. For a softer muffin, you can bake them at 400 degrees. The lower the temperature, the longer the muffins will need to bake. This will prevent your muffins from sticking while they bake. Spray the tin generously. Don't spray it too much. If you do the spray will pool at the bottom of each muffin. You can also use a non-stick muffin tin. You need to fill them 2/3 of the way. If you over-fill a muffin cup, the batter will overflow during baking. The edges of the muffin will easily burn. Under-filling a tin will result in a smaller, dry muffin. As you fill the muffin tins, stir the batter to keep it well mixed. You can add as many or as few as you like. Add at least 3 blueberries or chocolate chips to the center of each muffin. There is no need to press them down into the muffin. They will bake into the muffin as it rises. You can also experiment with other fillings like dried cranberries or other fruit. You will now bake them until golden. These will bake 8-9 minutes in a 425 degree oven. If you prefer a softer muffin, you can bake them for about 11 minutes in a 400 degree oven. When done, allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve the muffins hot with maple syrup.

article:
One way to 'get rid' of an immature reputation is simply to not let it bother you. Unless the specific content of what people think about you has serious consequences for your ability to make friends, get a job, and so on, your reputation matters only to the extent that you think it does. Also, caring too much about your reputation can, in fact, be a sign of immaturity. So, if you are overly worried, shrug it off a little bit. Ask yourself why your reputation matters for you. What are the consequences of others seeing you as immature? If they are minor and do not impede you in any important goals, consider shrugging your reputation off and focusing on other aspects of your life that are more important to you. Keep in mind that reputations are an approximate estimation of others' incomplete knowledge of what makes you, you. People (not necessarily knowingly) may spread information about you that is inaccurate or entirely untrue. Be honest with yourself. Ask yourself whether you believe you may be immature and if so, whether it might be worth changing your ways. Remember not to be too bothered by information that is not an accurate reflection of yourself, unless this information is actually damaging in a real, concrete way (i.e., it impedes with a goal that you value, such as having more friends). Take heart in the idea that just as your behaviors that contribute to an immature reputation can change, so too can your reputation.
