A web-proxy is useful if you aren't on your own computer because all the work is being done through the browser, so the method works regardless of your computer's operating system. There are several websites that list proxies that you can use. Proxy.org is a great place to start that is constantly updating its list. There's a good chance that proxy listing sites like Proxify will be blocked by a school or work network. Visit the site at home and make a list of 10-15 proxy sites to try at the blocked computer. Proxies that are overused get noticed and blocked, so vary which ones you use on a day-to-day basis. Using a proxy will make browsing significantly slower. This is because the traffic is rerouted through the proxy, reinterpreted and then sent to your location. Be aware that videos and websites may take longer to load. If the site is blocked, try a different one. When picking sites from a list of proxies, try using sites that are geographically closer to your location. This will help minimize the loss of speed. Enter the address of the website you wish to visit. Since proxy sites reinterpret the data of website you are trying to access, there's a chance that the site won't load correctly. Most commonly the video will not load. If this is the case, try again with a different proxy site.

Summary: Find a list of proxies. Choose a proxy site. Select the URL box.

You probably have at least a couple of friends from which to choose when asking for a loan, and you might think that the one with the most money is the best option. The personality of the friend and your relationship with him/her is at least as important as his/her bank account, however. Borrow from a friend you know well, trust, and with whom you can communicate comfortably about any range of topics. Remember, money can make for awkward conversations, so having a comfort level with uncomfortable discussions will be to your benefit. Even if you are a haggler by nature, now is not the time to extract your best possible deal. Show deference and gratitude toward the friend who is being generous enough to offer you assistance, and you'll reduce the risk of bitterness later. Be clear about the amount of money you need, but present a range of loan options, and take what they offer (or leave it). $2,000 when you need $10,000 is better than nothing, and is also probably better than losing a friend by pressing too hard for more. Refuse the terms politely instead of working for a deal to your liking. Yes, it is going to be awkward to ask a friend for money and then say "no thanks." But, that is a wound more likely to heal than making a friend feel taken advantage of through loan conditions with which he or she is uncomfortable. It is better to say that you want to consider all your options again. Yes, this is an offshoot of the "no negotiating" advice, but worthy of its own billing. Do not press an unwilling, or even hesitant friend to lend you money. Pressuring a friend to lend money is taking advantage of that friend, and taking advantage of a friend is one of the best ways to lose a friend. Even beyond the damage to your friendship caused by pressuring him/her, you are likely to find yourself offered less advantageous loan terms that you will in turn feel pressured to accept. Just move on to the next friend on your "ask list." You owe it to your friend, your friendship, and yourself to take this loan seriously and make every effort to pay it back on time and in full. Set aside funds each month (or other established time frame) for your payment. Seal the cash in a marked envelope, have money taken directly from your paycheck into an account, set up an auto-pay system, do whatever it takes to make sure that money gets into the lender's hands each month. Pay the loan off early, even only by a bit, if possible. This is a way to earn a few extra points in the friendship. Don't bring up the loan at a party of other social gathering, and ask your friend to do the same if it becomes an issue. Discuss it privately and separately to help avoid conflating your friendship with what is essentially a financial transaction. Don't use this as an excuse to avoid talking to your friend/lender about a missed payment, though. Be forthright and clear about your difficulties and options for dealing with them; just do it in the proper context. Contact them, don't make them ask you for that late payment. If the friendship is your priority, treat your friend with the respect he/she deserves. Be open and honest, in loans as in life.

Summary: Choose the right friend. Don't negotiate. Take no for an answer. Make repayment your priority. Keep your social and financial relationships separate whenever possible.

Brush your teeth immediately after smoking. If your smoking spot is outside and you have to cross your parents before getting into the bathroom, use chewing gum to freshen your breath. You can also hide the smell by eating something with a strong odor, like onions or garlic. Of course, if you go this route, you'll smell like onions or garlic, but that might be better than smelling like smoke. Using a strong scented soap, wash your hands as thoroughly as possible. If this is not enough, you can also use a scented moisturizer or scented hand sanitizer. You can also mask the scent on your hands by eating an orange. Peeling the orange will leave the juice and scent of oranges on your hands. You can clean any tar on your skin with rubbing alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol can be safely applied to skin. It will dry out your skin so be sure to have scented moisturizer with you as well. Your hair absorbs the smell of cigarette smoke because it is porous and absorbs the particles of smoke. This smell is retained for a long time. The only way to get the smell out of your hair is to take a shower and use a good shampoo. Using a coconut shampoo and scented hair styling product will help mask the smell.

Summary: Freshen your breath. Wash your hands. Use rubbing alcohol. Shampoo your hair.

You don't have to change who you are or your natural style to impress him, just take pride in your appearance. Be well-groomed and clean at all times. Dress to accentuate your best features, whether it's your hair or your height. Don't go over the top with compliments. In passing, just casually mention that you like his shirt or how bright his smile is. He will be totally flattered that you even noticed him and felt compelled to actually say something. Guys like to feel useful and needed so enlist his assistance with something, anything! Whether a big request or small, he'll jump at the chance to lend his skills or time. It can be anything like passing a book to, handing you a straw or giving you directions. Profess your gratitude and really make him feel good about what he just did. Use the face time to further the conversation. If you want him to spot you, it's best to avoid standing at the back of the room (unless that's where he is) or hiding in the corner. Keep your head up and arms uncrossed. Instead of "hiding," stand in the middle of the pack. For example, if you're standing with a group but behind everyone, subtly make your way to the center instead. Our eyes are naturally drawn to the center of an image so let the crew work as a frame for you. An appealing look is one where the eyes look round and full. You can create this look naturally by being mindful of your gaze. You can also do this by arching your eyebrows. Whatever you do, maintain a soft look on your face to show that you are warm and friendly. If you catch his eye, offer a smirk. Nothing says unapproachable like staring at your cell phone so put it down.
Summary: Look your best. Compliment him. Ask for help. Watch your body language. Watch your facial expressions.
