Article: A knotted bracelet can be a fun and simple design to try. To begin, you'll need some basic supplies. You'll need three different colors of embroidery thread, a safety pin, and a pair of scissors. Once you have you supplies together, you can cut your thread. Cut a strand of each color. Your strands should be fairly large. Each strand should be 2 to 3 arm lengths long. Once your strings are cut, you'll need to gather your strings together and tie them into a loop. This process can be somewhat tricky so go slowly and follow instructions carefully. Gather all your strings together. You can lie them down side-by-side on a long table or on the floor. Find the midpoint of all three strings. Fold all the strings in half along the midpoint. Towards the end of your folded strings, tie them together in a tight knot to secure. This will make a small loop on the end of your stands of strings. Use a basic knot here, like you'd use when tying your shoes. You'll use the loop you create when your finish your bracelet. You will end up slipping your strings through the loop and tying them together. Make sure the loop is big enough to fit three threads through. Slip a safety pin through the loop. Fasten the loop on a pillow or other firm surface. This will keep the threads organized and secure while you work. Once all is set up, you can begin the knotting process. For this type of bracelet, you simply repeat the following process until the bracelet is as long as you want. Use one hand to gather two strings on the right. Use your other hand to create a loop with the string to the left. Lie the left thread over the two threads on the right, creating a circular loop with the slack from the left thread. It should look something like a backwards "P." Slip the left string under your two right strings. Move it through the loop you created, moving upward towards the knot on the top. Pull the left string, holding the other two strings loosely. You should be able to pull upward until the knot you created reaches the knot connecting the threads. Repeat this process until all your threads are knotted together. The knots will take on the color of the string to the left. If you want to change colors, return the left string to other two strings. Then, pull a string of a different color out of the bunch, moving it to the left side. Repeat the knotting process with that string. How and when you change colors depends on your personal preferences. If you want a bracelet with a more random design, change colors whenever you feel like it. If you want a more uniform design, make a rule for yourself. For example, you'll change color every 5 knots. When you reach the end of your bracelet, you'll need to tie an end knot. How long you make your bracelet is up to you. However, make sure you have at least a few inches of thread at the end. Simply tie a knot using all three strings, as you did when making the loop at the beginning. Remove the bracelet from the safety pin. Pull the excess strings through the loop at the top. Then, tie a knot with the excess strings to create a fully formed bracelet. For this part of the process, you can simply use basic knots, like you would use to tie your shoes.

Problem: Article: Find some good hiding spots in your room, your car, or wherever you want to keep your smoking stuff. Look for spots that your parents won't look around regularly, but that they won't think of as an obvious hiding spot. For instance, instead of hiding your lighters and cigarettes in the glove compartment, which is an "obvious" hiding spot, tuck them beneath the seat of your car. If you want to hide your smoking stuff in your room, consider stashing it in a hollowed-out book or toward the back of your closet. Don't hide your cigarettes in your sock drawer if your parents tend to put away your laundry. Instead, look for drawers that are rarely used or hard to reach. If you light up in your room or another seemingly secret spot in or around your parents' home, you'll almost certainly get caught because of the awful smell. If you want to hide the fact that you smoke, only smoke when you're out and about with friends. Choose private or public spaces where smoking is permitted, but where you won't run into any family friends, teachers, or neighbors. Don't smoke inside vacant properties; trespassing on these properties is illegal and dangerous. Avoid smoking around your school; teachers or administrators might alert your parents to what you're doing. Never smoke in bed; it's extremely dangerous. It's easy to fall asleep and drop your cigarette, thereby starting a house fire. If you have a job and your own income and bank account, your parents might not notice how you're spending your money. However, if you're spending your allowance or asking your parents for more money without telling the truth about where it's going, they'll start to get suspicious. Avoid spending too much money in a short period of time, and don't hint at the fact that you're out of cash when your parents know you just got a paycheck or your allowance. Be careful about borrowing money from other kids to buy your smoking equipment. If you don't have a reliable source of income and end up in debt to someone else, things could get dicey pretty quickly.
Summary: Hide all of your smoking equipment in secret places. Don't smoke in or around your home. Use only your own money to purchase smoking gear.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Allow it to heat without burning, turning the pan frequently to distribute the oil or vegan butter over the bottom of it. Reduce the heat to medium. Stir the garlic frequently to prevent burning. Allow the greens to wilt completely before adding another batch. Mix them with a spatula or a wooden spool. Serve the greens immediately or cover the greens to keep them warm.

SUMMARY: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and pour oil or vegan butter into the pan. Place the garlic into the hot oil or butter. Place one batch of collard greens into the skillet. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Add your pepper flakes to the greens before serving if you're making the spicy version of this dish.

Now that you've made a list of all the new things you would like to do, it's time to determine what you'll need to make your dream a reality! Take the time to research what equipment you should buy, what preparation you'll need to do, etc. Consider the financial aspect of doing this activity. If there are monetary restrictions, don't give up on the idea. Try finding a workaround. For example, if you want to learn to cook in Paris, but can't afford the plane ticket, try finding a local, French cooking class. Remember, you can and you should do more than one new thing - start researching all of your ideas! For example, if you would like to try a new hair color, you may want to start with a temporary dye. This would allow you to try out that new hue, without having to commit to it. A simulator may also come in handy if your new activity is particularly costly. By simulating the activity, such as flying a plane, you can see how you'd like it before you commit to the expense of actually taking flying lessons. This may not be applicable for everything. Don't worry if you can't do a trial run beforehand. That's part of the fun! If you'd still like to learn more, talk to someone you know who has already done that particular activity, or gone to that place. If you don't specifically know someone who has already done what you want to do, try creating a forum. Forums are areas where you can post and read online discussions, typically in an organized thread layout, from other users with similar interests,
