In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you want to have a good reputation in middle school, pay attention and try to do well in every class you're in, even if it's something that doesn't come easily to you. Do your homework and turn in all of your assignments, and try not to daydream when the teacher is giving your lessons. Being cool doesn't mean skipping school and failing tests, although you don't necessarily have to have the highest grade in your class, either. If you make a habit of breaking the rules, though, you'll have a reputation as a troublemaker, rather than a reputation for being cool. As a bonus, paying close attention in class might make your after-school assignments easier to finish, so you'll have more time to spend with your friends! The coolest people always seem to be the ones who have a great understanding of who they are. Think about what makes you uniquemaybe you have a cool eye for fashion, are great at drawing, or you can run really fast. Then, look for ways to express those qualities. For instance, you might always wear unique, funky outfits if you're into fashion, you might draw illustrations for the school paper if you love art, or you might try out for the track team if you're a runner. When you're just starting to use social media, it can be hard to know how to use it without oversharing. Just remember that you can't take anything back once it's online, so keep your most personal business private, and don't share any pictures online that you would be embarrassed for everyone to see. Also, don't share or post unkind comments about anyone, especially if you wouldn't say those things to that person's face. Internet bullying can be very hurtful, and it won't make you seem cooler. If you see online bullying, do your best to ignore it, even if it's directed at you. However, you can report the bullying, either online or to a parent or teacher. Keeping up with trends can help you seem like you know what's cool, so when you see a trend you like on TV, online, or at school, don't be afraid to try it out. You don't have to follow every trend that's out therethat will make you seem unoriginal. Just pick the ones you really like! For instance, if you see your favorite celebrity wearing an awesome pair of sunglasses, you might look for a similar pair when you go shopping. If a lot of your friends wear baggy jeans, you might look for a pair of relaxed-fit jeans. However, going against trends can make you seem cool too, so if you want to wear skinny jeans instead, go for it! If it's possible, try to find clubs, sports, competitive teams, or other activities at your school that fit your personal interests or hobbies. Getting involved in after-school activities can be a great way to expand your social circle. Also, if you're busy with activities, you'll seem cooler than you would if you just went home every day. For instance, if you're athletic, you might try out for your school's soccer, baseball, cheerleading, or dance team. If you love music, you might join the band or choir. If you're really great at math or science, you might join the robotics team. Don't join a club you don't really like just because you think it will be cool. For instance, if you're not into sports, cheerleading probably isn't a good fit for you, even if that seems like a good way to get popular.
Summary: Do your best in school. Embrace what makes you an individual. Use social media thoughtfully. Pay attention to trends. Join a club or team at your school.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Place your record on your turntable and turn it on. While the record spins, lightly hold the brush on the surface of your record to sweep away any impurities and static build-up. Keep your brush on your record for 1-3 spins, then angle your brush at the edge of your record and slowly remove it. Most record brushes have 2 rows of bristles, 1 to sweep of the dust, and 1 to remove static. Be sure to clean your brush after each use. That way, you do not spread debris to and from your cleaning brush. While this will not erase scratches, it will help your turntable pick up as many grooves in your record as possible, helpful to avoid skipping parts of the song. Visit a music store or search online to find a kit. Most come with a liquid cleaning solution, directional brush, and smaller brush used to clean the directional brush. Then, follow the specific directions outlined in your kit's instructions to clean away surface debris. Your directions will likely have you apply the cleaning solution, then use the brush to sweep away extra dirt. Combine cup of 90-99% isopropyl alcohol, cup of distilled water, and 1 or 2 drops of dishwasher fluid in a spray bottle. Place your record on a microfiber cloth, and spray the solution on your record. Wait 30 seconds to let the liquid fill the grooves, and wipe away the liquid with another microfiber cloth. Then, soak another microfiber cloth in distilled water, and wipe off both sides of your record. This will remove fingerprints and grime that a record cleaning brush cannot pick up. Avoid spraying the label of your record. You can repeat the process for both sides of your record to thoroughly clean away dirt and dust. Locate the scratches of your record, and angle 1 wooden toothpick at the scratch. Apply a little pressure, and rub back and forth on the scratch. Do this for any and all scratches on your vinyl. Rubbing the scratch with a toothpick helps get into the small cracks and lift up stubborn debris. Take your time when cleaning with a toothpick and be careful not to scratch other areas of your record. This may not fix the scratch, but it can help remove any surface debris from your vinyl.
Summary:
Use a dry vinyl brush to remove surface dirt and dust. Purchase a record cleaning kit to use professional cleaning products. Make your own cleaning solution to deep clean on a budget. Rub a toothpick back and forth over the scratches with soft pressure.
