Summarize the following:
The connections in your brain that create short-term memory can be strengthened if you keep mentally active. Things like doing crossword puzzles, playing a musical instrument, or even learning new routes between home and work can help with brain activity. Try a crossword once or day, either in the morning or in the evening. If you don't already know a musical instrument, consider taking lessons. If you already play (or sing) set aside a half hour or so a day to practice. Depression and stress can both contribute to short-term memory loss. By spending more time with your friends or family, you can ward off stress and depression, and therefore improve your short-term memory. Something as simple as a regular phone call, or meeting for lunch for can help with short-term memory loss. If you find that you have a hard time remembering what you read, or what you've studied, try to limit the number of distractions around you. Pick a quiet space to work in. Turn your phone's notifications off, or turn your phone on silent. The less distracted you are as you work, the more likely you are to improve your short-term memory. Scientists aren't sure why, but chewing gum while learning can increase activity in the area of the brain responsible for memory. While you're studying or working on an important project, chew a piece of gum. It could improve your ability to retain what you've learned! Make sure that you chew the same flavor of gum each time you study. When taking the exam, ask your teacher if you can chew gum. Use the same flavor. If you're worried about your ability to retain what someone says to you, try doodling while they talk! Doodling can actually help you focus on just two things what you're drawing and what someone else is saying. Just make sure you warn the person you're speaking to that you'll be doodling. For example, you can say something like "I find that doodling while I speak to someone helps me remember what we said later. Do you mind if I doodle while we chat?" You can doodle in meetings, too, just make sure you're being polite.

summary: Keep your brain sharp. Socialize more often. Get focused. Chew gum while you learn. Doodle while you listen.

-- or start them! Copiers are a dime a dozen. Sure, you could look through fashion magazines and watch TV shows, but you'd wind up looking like everyone else trying to be in the cool club. You want to be a trendsetter, ahead of a curve. So do your own thing or make your own twist on what's out there. People can't try to be like you if you're trying to be like everyone else. So many of us are so concerned with fitting in that we're just in awe of those who are comfortable going outside of the mold. You don't have to wear grocery bags or dye your hair rainbow-colored to be different -- just add your own flair to what's already out there. Even if you don't have a significant other, big deal! Being single and playing the field is something to be jealous of too! So whether one boy is texting you all the time and bending over backwards for you or a dozen are trying to get your attention, drop little hints. Your buzzing phone will be hint number one! Now which boy is it again? Be subtle but clear about this. When someone asks what you're doing Thursday night, you're hanging out with the boy-toy. It's date night. No need to mention that he may or may not have showered you with roses last weekend between rounds of feeding you Belgian chocolates. People may turn up their noses, being disgusted with how it seems you're exaggerating for validation. Because sadly, people get super jealous of this stuff too easily. Even if you don't have that much money, no one has to know! Keep your things in good condition, keep up on trends, piece together your outfits carefully, and always be aware of the newest thing. Wealth is something that's understood, not spoken about. Saying, "Ohmigod, I just have so much money I don't know what to do with myself!" is not effective. But whipping out your brand-new Coach purse might just do the trick. Another thing that plagues most of us is fear. We're afraid of putting ourselves out there, being vulnerable, and doing things we're not good at. But not you! You take chances and more often than not you succeed. What's not to be jealous of? We're not talking about jumping off of bridges, here. We're talking about walking up to that cute boy and starting a chat with him. Signing up for that intramural team and picking up a new sport. Signing up for the study abroad program. Running for class president. Things most people would be uncomfortable doing, but might like to do in a perfect world -- your world. This is an important step: You don't have to be in a clique, but to avoid bad days of school, to build a network you can fall back on, make sure your best and true friends are there for you. You don't want ones that are good-looking or popular -- you want friends that you actually like and that actually like you. Respect them and keep their secrets. In order for you to have good friends, you need to be there when they need you, too. Never talk about their drama just to show that you're "in the know." You'll get to know more people, get involved in school or your community, and you'll just be an all-around fascinating person. You'll stay busy, be social, hone your skills, and have fun while doing it, too. You'll be able to talk about anything and for every story you'll know a person who knows a person who knows a person that was involved. You're so well-connected and talented. How do you do it?! Branch out! Instead of playing basketball, soccer, and softball, do basketball, choir, and Italian. Spread yourself across a whole bunch of different personalities. Be the one who plays sports, gets creative, helps the community, and builds robots in the few spare minutes she has. It's like you're a machine! Be successful at everything you do. Have excellent grades, get a main role in a play, be good in your favorite sport, and be great at making friends. This gives people a more of a reason to be jealous of you. What aren't you capable of? This will take work, which you probably figured, huh? No one said making everyone jealous would be easy! Just make sure not to burn yourself out. It's better to do three things well than six things halfway okay. People would love to catch you with your guard down, but it just won't happen. Even the tiniest of details about you are worthy of jealousy. Think of the small stuff, like having good handwriting. Smelling good. Reading the latest bestseller. Accessorizing. Making a mean chocolate cake. The more people know about you, the more they're still in awe. Sure, it's one thing if people are jealous of you from afar. They see you and they see beautiful hair, beautiful clothes, and a smiley, bubbly personality. But then when they get to know you, you don't want that to go away, so you got to back it up! It's these small things that will really put the icing on the cake.

summary: Be on top of trends Make people jealous of your love life. Make people jealous of your wealth. Take chances. Have reliable, trustworthy friends. Have a wide variety of interests. Overachieve! Cover the details.
