In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you've got nothing else to do, with no car or events on the horizon, head outside and make your own fun. You can go for a hike, build a fort in the woods, or just bike around town. Don't let the weather get you down, either. Sometimes a run in the pouring rain is the most fun thing you can do during a storm. Relish the opportunities to sled, build forts, and make snowmen in the colder months, and jump in a pool or pond when it's scorching hot. For centuries, teens have found endless enjoyment in the great outdoors. All it takes is a bit of sunscreen and a willingness to get out there. Play some sports. If you're feeling casual, grab a Frisbee and improvise a disc golf course around the house. Go fishing, camping, or bird-watching. Offer to help your neighbors to make some pocket change. Record something silly, even if you never share it with anyone else. You could put on a play, film a movie or music video, or just start jamming together on your instruments. Collaborative works like this will pass the time before you know it. Just turn a camera or recorder on and improvise, doing your best to make each other smile, laugh, or tap your feet. Come up with an idea together and make a plan to finish it. Working together towards a common goal is a perfect way to pass some time with good friends. Check online or in your local paper for concerts, events, and movies, and make plans together to see them. More often than not, if you take the time to check out the events schedule in advance, you can avoid sitting around without knowing what to do. However, waiting until the last minute often means you miss the showtime, or can't get a ride down, leaving you stranded at home without an activity. From simple and easy cards to complex video & board games, games are one of the best way to pass the time with any number of people. While the number of video, card, and board games is nearly endless, there is even a variety of games you can play without any equipment: Mafia. Ninja. Truth or Dare. Celebrity.
Summary: Go outside. Make a piece of art together, like a song or movie. Find events in advance that you all enjoy together. Play some games.

If you're in an appropriate situation, and see someone who seems like they might be interesting, go up and say hi. Tell them your name and make small talk-perhaps you've seen them around before and thought you'd introduce yourself. When you introduce yourself, embrace understatement. Usually saying less is best. When you talk too much about yourself right off the bat, it will make you seem overly egotistical. A simple "Hi, I'm Steve," is way more likely to lead to conversation than, "Hi, I'm Steve. Well, let's get this party started. I just had a long day making some major business deals with some really important clients from overseas and having my new Jaguar tuned up. What do you do?" Which of the two would you feel more comfortable in responding to? Be aware of the situation when you introduce yourself. If you're at a company party, say, "Hi, I'm Steve from accounting." Likewise, if it's a random situation, don't feel the need to create a context-if you've been introduced at a bar for instance, just stick with "Hi, I'm Steve, nice to meet you", and focus on the other person rather than declaring your job title or what you did that day. Ask questions and listen. When you meet new people, always try to listen more than you talk. Don't demand information, but use a simple, "What do you like to do?"-and then listen with genuine interest. Being a good listener is a sure way to get someone on your side. If you're in a bar, at a dance, a party, or other social mixing situations, people are more likely to be open to meeting new people. Likewise, avoid walking up and trying to have a conversation when people are busy or going about their daily tasks. Be confident in approaching people, but not overbearing. No one likes to feel like they are being pursued or harassed by someone they don't know. Observe people's body language when you approach them. If a person won't look you in the eye, or seems like they want to disengage from the conversation, let them. When someone speaks to you with an open posture and looks at your face, especially into your eyes, it can be a good indicator that they are willing to engage further. People will often keep their arms crossed when they feel uncomfortable or closed off, or hunch their shoulders and look down. When you see signs of discomfort or avoidance, don't react with your own annoyance, even if your feelings get hurt a little. Don't push it-respect others' body language and nonverbal communication signs; you never know what else is going on with someone to make them unwilling to engage. Appearances are important, especially in first impressions, but you should also consider other aspects of people when sizing them up. How do they behave? Do you find the person interesting based on how they act? How do you feel about their demeanor? How do you feel interacting with the other person? Good friends often are made "naturally". The two of you simply hit it off, and find that you are comfortable and engaged around one another. One of the best ways to create an immediate bond with someone is to find common ground. When they mention something that they like that interests you, too, pick up on it. If a person mentions going to the theatre, and you like acting, it might lead to something like, "Really? I was in a production of that two years ago! I love that play!" It doesn't need to be that specific, simply expressing a mutual interest can go a long way. When you first meet someone, avoid laying expectations on them from the start. Finish your conversation with a casual "see ya around" rather than asking to get together right off the bat. In the right local situations, or if you've connected through an app or online service, you're likely to run into each other again. Usually, a first meeting will be casual and non-committal. But sometimes you connect on a deeper level with someone right off the bat. Be ready! Let your senses guide you. Sometimes someone will just open up to you when they, too sense a connection. Reciprocate intimacy. Sharing intimate or personal stories and experiences creates a bond between people. Everyone experiences pain, fear, loneliness- and sharing that common humanity with someone is what becoming close, good friends is all about.

Problem: Article: Cedar has anti-fungal properties and is often used to deodorize clothes. The insoles would stay in your shoes, while the chips would need to be inserted at night and removed in the morning. Odor-controlling insoles can be cut to fit the shape of your sole, and come in several different colors. These work well for sandals, high heels or open-toed shoes. Secure the insole with small strips of double-sided tape or dabs of rubber cement. These will help the insole stay in place while keeping it easily removable. Linings containing silver are anti-microbial and can inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Simply place a couple of dryer sheets in your shoes while you use them. These instantly deodorize the smell.
Summary:
Use cedar insoles or chips. Put in odor-control insoles. Use silver shoe linings. Use dryer sheets.
