Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn the system. Hatch a plan. Prepare an excuse.

Answer: How does your school record absences? Do they call attendance in each class? If you have a teacher who regularly forgets to record attendance, you'll have an easier time skipping their class than a class where the teacher has meticulous records. Depending on the number of absences you've already accumulated, your school might not even care if you skip. If you're a known skipper with many absences already stacked against you, proceed with caution. Decide which class or classes you'll be skipping. Plan where you will go to hide out. If you have access to hall passes, stock up on a few of these, as they may come in handy when wandering the halls. Note where the cameras are in your school. If possible, avoid walking past them when you are supposed to be in class. Do not skip classes where you have significant tests or projects due, as this only increases your chances of getting caught. If you're skipping class to avoid having to turn in a project or take a test, you might be better off faking sick and not going to school at all. For tips on faking sick, check out this article. In the event that everything goes awry, you'll need a credible excuse to fall back on. It doesn't matter what your excuse is, as long as it's believable and you're committed to the lie. If you're a bad liar, keep the excuse as simple as possible. The best lies have elements of truth in them, so include truthful specifics in your falsehoods to make them easier to swallow. Don't use the dead relative excuse or the family emergency excuse, those excuses should be hinted weeks in advance, if you are planning your skip later. You could say that you were looking for something you lost if you absolutely need an excuse. If asked what you lost, say a key or a flash drive.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Click and hold the Shape tool. Click Rectangle Tool. Click the mouse on the canvas and drag in any direction. Click and hold the Shape tool and select Polygon Tool. Click the canvas once to enter the number of sides. Click and drag the canvas to draw your shape.

Answer: It's the rectangle in the toolbar that runs along the left side of the screen. A menu of various shapes will appear. Repeat this step each you want to switch between different shape tools. This selects a tool that allows you to draw squares and rectangles. Your rectangular shape will appear as you drag. If you want to draw a perfect square, drag until you see a pink line crossing the shape diagonallythis line indicates that the square is equal on all sides. This tool lets you specify the number of sides you want your shape to have. Clicking the canvas will make a dialog box appear. Enter the number of sides you want your shape to have. For example, if you want to draw an octagon, enter 8. Just as you did with the rectangle, drag outward until you've made the shape the desired size. You can also create circles and stars with this menu the same way you have with rectangles and polygons.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take an interest in his mates. Get in on the joke. Ask your boyfriend to limit the group size. Include your mates.

Answer: Listen actively when your boyfriend tells you about his mates. Pay attention to anything you might have in common with them. When you talk to them, say something like, "Oh, you're Mike! Josh tells me you're originally from London. My aunt lives there." Sitting on the sidelines while the guys kid around only makes you look stuck-up. If you don't understand a joke one of his mates tells, wait until they finish laughing. Then, calmly say, "Sorry. I didn't quite get that. Did I miss something?" Smile and chuckle a bit as you talk. This should show them that you're a good sport and can take a lighthearted joke. Don't let your boyfriend or his mates get away with picking on you or telling sexist jokes. If they can't treat you with respect, they're not worth hanging out with. Suggest this only for times when you're hanging out with them. In a smaller group, it's often easier to put names with faces. Reassure him that this is only until you get to know his mates better. If any of his mates are seeing anyone, suggest a double date. Getting to know another couple in his social circle will make future get-togethers less awkward. While you're working on accepting his mates, suggest that he work on accepting yours. Invite your mates to the weekend get-together. This way, you'll each have someone to speak up if there's an awkward pause or change the subject if someone says something offensive.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Separate the colors of Skittles that you want to flavor the vodka with. Add six Skittles to 25ml of vodka. Filter out the remaining Skittle bits.

Answer:
Many people choose to leave out the green, which is lime if you're using original Skittles, and purple, which is grape in the original style, as they can create a weird taste combination or a less than appealing color for the final product. However, you can put them in if you want. If you don't mind mixed flavors, you can just skip this step altogether. Note that if you choose to mix the flavors together, you will create an unappetizing brownish color. Keep swirling the mixture until the Skittles are almost completely dissolved. Note that the ratio of Skittles to vodka varies from recipe to recipe. You should experiment to find your preferred mix before making larger bottles. With single servings like this, you can decide which flavor(s) you like best and proceed to making bottles, if you desire.
