Problem: Article: Regular salt water soaks can promote healing and prevent infection. You may get salt water solution from your piercer or buy a sterile saline spray at your local drugstore. You can also put 1/8 teaspoon (1.34 g) of salt into 8 fluid ounces (240mL) of water and mix them thoroughly. Submerge the piercing directly in the mixture or apply the soak with a clean washcloth or paper towel by gently holding it to your piercing for a few minutes at a time. Apply the soak for 5 to 6 minutes. Do this twice a day for about a month or until your piercing is fully healed. Swimming after a piercing is a bad idea. Chlorine from pool water, and contaminants from open water, can irritate a piercing and cause infection. Refrain from swimming until your piercing is fully healed. You should also avoid soaking in bathtubs or hot tubs. Keep foreign objects away from the pierced area while you wait for it to heal. Do not, for example, wear a hat if you have an eyebrow piercing. You should always be aware of your hair if it's longer. Keep long hair from touching the piercing. You may have to pull your hair back more often as the piercing heals. Avoid sleeping on the side of your body where the piercing is. Bacteria from your pillow can cause an infection. If you have something like a navel piercing, talk to your piercer on how to best protect it. You may have to wear gauze over the piercing or loose-fitting clothing.
Summary: Use salt water soaks. Avoid swimming. Make sure nothing touches in the pierced area.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Commonly, people who report symptoms of depression lack pleasure or lack of interest in activities and/or loss of meaning. The act of creating music allows you to take risks and experience yourself in a different way, while being supported in a therapeutic setting. Especially if you have a difficult time expressing yourself otherwise, you can experience moving emotions through playing music. Allow the music you create to have meaning to you. You can create a song specifically around the sadness you feel from losing a beloved pet, the struggle you experience after a career change, the longing of leaving something of value to you. Let those emotions and experiences guide your music as you play. When engaged in music, you allow yourself to relate differently. Instead of using words, you use emotion, tone, rhythm, and collaboration. Interacting and engaging through music allows you to express yourself when words may be difficult to find, but the emotion is not. Working with a music therapist can help you connect more deeply with your emotions and work through them in a supportive environment. Notice how you feel when you play music. Do you feel present, focused on the moment, the music, and the feeling? These can be healing factors to depression. Music can be described as sound, which can be further reduced to vibration. Vibration therapy (called vibroacoustic therapy) uses low level vibrations that can be heard and felt and applies them to the body. Vibroacoustic therapy works with the body in a way that allows the emotions and body to work more harmoniously together by stimulating different parts of the body through vibration. While still gaining momentum as a treatment option for depression, some studies have concluded positive responses to vibroacoustic therapy as a treatment approach to depression. Vibroacoustic therapy also helps with chronic pain(such as fibromyalgia) by lowering pain, increasing movement, and reducing medication dosage. If you're working with a music therapist, ask to play with vibration through drumming. Ask if vibroacoustic therapy is available. While many people know that exercise is a beneficial way to treat depression, even making movements and experiencing yourself as a physical being can be beneficial in treating depression. The act of strumming a guitar, banging a drum, or moving a bow on a violin can trigger movements that can beneficially contribute to treating depression. The human body often reacts to music through the tapping of a foot, a head nod, or through clapping. Music helps you connect with your body and move naturally. It doesn't matter whether you consider yourself a "good" singer or not, singing can help lift your mood and your thoughts and promote relaxation. Sing songs that you know and that put you in a good mood. Notice how you feel after a few minutes of singing; has your mood or thoughts shifted? Sing in the shower, in the car, and around your house. Sing to your children, your pets, or your garden. Don't be shy to sing, remember it's good for you! Create a sing-along playlist to play whenever you feel stressed or down. Sing along and gauge how you feel afterward. If you're working with a music therapist, ask to include singing with playing instruments. Even if you sing nonsense words, it's okay to just use your voice. If you don't know how to play an instrument, pick one up. After all, playing an instrument engages more parts of the brain than any other known activity.Spend a few moments each day playing the instrument and notice how you feel. Choose an instrument that brings you joy and pleasure; it can be as complex as a trumpet or as simple as a rattle. Don't get overly ambitious in picking up a new instrument; this is supposed to be a fun experience, not a difficult or frustrating one. After all it's not "working" an instrument, but "playing" one.

SUMMARY: Create meaning through music. Relate to people and yourself differently. Explore vibration treatment. Get in touch with movement. Sing. Learn an instrument.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Though every student who qualifies "will receive their grant in full," there are a few small exceptions. The government likes to know you're going to stick to your word -- if you're failing out of college, they may deem you a lost cause and cease aid. What's more, the better your grades, the more other grants you may receive, so it's just good common sense. If you receive a criminal conviction while you're a student, your eligibility may change. Don't assume you can't get funds, but do know that it may be more difficult. It all depends on your specific situation. You are only eligible for Pell grants for 12 semesters, or six years. They do not have to be consecutive, but that is the limit. You will receive a notification if you are nearing the checkpoint. In order to receive loans and grants, you have to file the FAFSA every year. This is because your tax information may change and has to be accounted for. Though you'll use the same pin, you still have to file. Act quickly. Though the Pell grant is not awarded on a first come, first served basis, it is best to do it as quickly as possible. The earlier you apply, the more other grants you may receive.
Summary:
Keep your grades up and record clean. Finish in six years. File every year.
