INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take down all of your posters with pictures of them, and don't see the new movie they are in or listen to their new song. Don't talk about them with your friends or family, and don't spend time on the internet researching their lives. Everyone deserves privacy, even famous people. You can do these things gradually over the course of several days, or stop it all in one go, like ripping off a Band-Aid. Whichever way you choose to do it, make sure all of the things that remind you of them eventually make it out of your life! Try not to be jealous if you find out they're dating someone else, or happy if they're breaking up with their partner. It doesn't bring you any closer to them, and it only makes it harder to separate from them. Concrete goals that focus on the bigger picture, like how you can improve yourself or do something nice for someone else, will help you far more than dwelling on an unlikely possibility. Make sure your goals are reasonable and attainable. Think about how you want to study hard and get an "A" on your next paper or test. If you're working on a new move in karate class, imagine yourself being able to do it perfectly, and practice when you get home. Help someone in need by volunteering at an organization, or doing something small like giving up your seat on the bus for an elderly person. If you are having intense thoughts about this celebrity, an engaging but calming activity can help get your mind off of it. Finish that poem, book, painting, or other project you've been working on. Go for a walk and look around at all the beautiful trees, houses, and people that are right in front of you. Grab a coloring book or a print-out of a detailed pattern like a mandala and some colored pencils. Color to your heart's content, and try to stay inside the lines. Get some exercise by asking your friends if they want to play a pickup game of soccer or frisbee, or go on a run by yourself.

SUMMARY: Remove things from your life that remind you of your crush. Replace daydreams about them with thoughts about goals you have for your own life. Do something else that you like to do.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There is a variety of online calculators that will find your monthly payment and interest paid with the simple input of a few pieces of key information. Try searching for "mortgage loan calculator" using your preferred search engine. Usually, you'll have to input details of your loan, like the number of years, annual interest rate, and value of your principal. Then, simply hit "calculate" and the provided readout should tell you anything else you need to know. This can also be a useful way to compare mortgage plans. For example, you may be deciding between a 15-year loan at 6 percent or a 30-year loan at 4 percent. The calculator will help you easily see that, despite the higher interest rate, the 15-year loan is a cheaper option. Keep in mind that online calculators often advertise rates that are much lower than what you can actually get. Therefore, it is best to get rates from an actual lender rather than relying on online mortgage calculators. Similar to the quick method above, this one will allow you to calculate the total interest you will pay on your loans, assuming you already know your monthly payment. However, here you will be multiplying your monthly payment by the number of payments to arrive at a total amount paid over the life of the loan. Start by finding your monthly payments either on a recent bill or on your loan agreement. Then, multiply your monthly payment by your number of payments. Subtract your principal from the total of your payments. This number will represent the total amount you will pay in interest over the life of your loan. For example, imagine you are paying $1,250 per month on a 15-year, $180,000 loan. Multiply $1,250 by your number of payments, 180 (12 payments per year*15 years), to get $225,000. Your total interest paid would then be $225,000 - $180,000, or $45,000.
Summary: Use an online mortgage loan calculator. Calculate total interest using loan payments.

Don't pull the tab off completely since you might not have anywhere to throw it in the midst of your workout. Tear the pouch open just enough to easily squeeze out the gel. Then, insert the open end of the pouch into your mouth. Hold the pouch on the front and back side with your thumb and index finger. Press the pouch near the bottom and move your fingers upwards to squeeze the contents of the pouch into your mouth. Keep squeezing until the pouch is empty. This is similar to the motion you might use to squeeze toothpaste from the bottom of the tube. Once all of the gel is in your mouth, chew it if needed and then swallow it. If the gel is a watery consistency, you might not need to chew it at all. But if it's a thicker gel then you might have to chew it similar to how you'd chew jello. Take a few sips of water after you swallow the gel to help wash it down. If the gel was a watery consistency, then you might not need much water to wash it down. If it was a thick consistency, you might need more water. Always drink more water if you are still thirsty!
