INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Note that professional-grade, commercially available eye washes are always preferable to homemade remedies. No matter how meticulous you are, there's always the risk of accidentally irritating the eyes or giving yourself a potentially severe infection. There are reported cases of people trying to make saline solution at home and getting acanthamoeba infections. This is a risky procedure. However, if you understand the risks and still want to make your own eye wash solution, there are measures you can take to ensure that your solution is as clean and safe as possible. Begin by boiling a pot of water to kill bacteria and other organisms in it that can contaminate your eyes. Bring the water to a full rolling boil for at least one minute and then cool before use. If possible, it's better to use sterile, purified water rather than ordinary tap water. Tap water can contain more bacteria and additives than sterile water. If you don't want to make an eye wash solution, you can always substitute tap water. Just understand that it may be more irritating and it carries a higher risk of containing bacteria, etc. For homemade eye washes, add one teaspoon of ordinary table salt for each cup of water while the water is boiling. The closer your solution is to the natural salinity (salt concentration) of your tears, the lesser the shock to your eyes. Though the salinity of tears varies based on whether the tears are produced as the result of emotions (pain, sadness, etc.) or merely as a lubricant for the eye during normal use, tears are usually less than 1% salt by weight. Ensure the salt that you add dissolves in the water. Since the water is boiling and you've added a relatively small amount of salt, it shouldn't take much stirring to dissolve it completely. Stir until you no longer see solid salt grains at the bottom of the pot. Never use an eyewash that's still hot. You can seriously injure or even blind yourself by burning your eyes with hot water. Remove your solution from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature. You may transfer the solution to a different container, provided the container has been carefully washed and rinsed with soap and sterile water. When the solution reaches room temperature (or lower) it's ready for use. Cover the solution while it's cooling to ensure no new contaminants are introduced. Keeping the solution cool can give it a refreshing effect when it's used on your eyes. However, don't cool the eyewash below 60F (15.6C). It can be painful and even slightly damaging to your eyes. Even if you take extra care to keep your solution clean, be sure to throw it out after a day or two. Bacteria can be re-introduced to a solution after it's been boiled.

SUMMARY: Boil water. Add salt to the water. Stir to dissolve the salt. Allow the solution to cool.

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.

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.

Be careful not to burn yourself on the melted chips when transferring the cookies to the rack - use a spatula. The cookies are ready to eat when the chocolate chips solidify again.

SUMMARY:
Preheat the oven Apply cooking spray to the pan so that the cookies won't stick to the baking pan. Place the cookie balls on the baking pan. Put cookies in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown. Take the cookies out of the oven and let them sit on a wire cooling rack for about 15 minutes to cool. Store in an airtight container, or eat the cookies once they've cooled.
