Summarize the following:
Wipe down and scrape off any dirt that needs removing. You'll be roasting with the peel on, so it needs to be clean. Scoop out the seeds and discard. You'll see a neat little hole emerge in each half once the seeds and seed webbing have been scraped out. Add dabs of butter evenly across each half. Sprinkle salt and freshly black pepper across each half. Toss the thyme sprigs here and there on the halves. Roast for 45-50 minutes, or until the squash feels tender to the knife point or a fork. At least some parts of the squash should appear golden brown in coloring. Carve the halves as wished. This dish looks nice if left whole when taken to the table, with a knife provided to encourage diners to carve off their own pieces.

summary: Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Clean the outside of the butternut squash. Cut the butternut squash in halves. Place each half into the roasting dish, skin facing down. Drizzle with olive oil. Season, to taste. Place in the oven. Serve.

Folic acid comes in most multivitamins that you can buy over the counter at health-food stores. If your multivitamin does not contain 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid, do not 'double up' and take more than one multivitamin. Instead, purchase folic acid tablets at drug stores or natural grocery stores. All folic acid tablets should contain 400 mcg. If you have a genetic history of neural tube defects (NTDs) and need to take a very high dosage of folic acid, your doctor will need to write a prescription for you. You may be prescribed as much as 5,000 mcg daily. In order to maximize the usefulness of the folic acid for your body (and, if pregnant, the growing embryo), pick a certain time and consistently take your folic acid then. This could be when you first get up in the morning, while you're eating breakfast, or during an afternoon break. That said, do not take two doses if you skip a day. For example, if you realize on Friday that you never took folic acid on Thursday, do not take two doses on Friday. This has the potential to harm your body. Folic acid can be taken either with or without food, so it doesn't necessarily need to be taken with a meal. However, it's recommended that you take the folic acid or multivitamin tablet with water: this will help you swallow the pill and keep you hydrated. Folic acid tablets and multivitamin pills both have a long shelf life. They'll keep best if stored away from moisture and out of hot places. Keep them in a cabinet or cupboard, or in a pantry that stays at a cool temperature during the day. Keep multivitamins or folic acid tablets out of the reach of children.

summary: Take folic acid through multivitamins and tablets. Take folic acid at a consistent time each day. Swallow the folic acid tablet with a glass of water. Store the folic acid tablets in a cool, dry place.

The world is gonna do all it can to force you into the mold it wants. It's gonna tell you what's practical and what's acceptable and just dare you not to listen. Don't! Do you want to move to New York, be a go-go dancer, and eat only Ramen noodles for the rest of your life? If so, go for it. Those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter, after all. Find a passion. Everyone is better with a passion. And stick to it! If the world mocks you for it, you're in the wrong group of people. You're at your best when you're happiest. Seek your passions, regardless of what others think, do, or say. Being selfish the right way is an art. It is the ability to discern when what's best for you is still what's best for the situation at hand. It's knowing when your desire of something isn't really justified versus when it means being content with your life. If you refuse to let your friend pick the movie you go to, you're being controlling and selfish. If you don't go to her dance recital because you picked up another shift at work to pay the electric bill, you're being logical. Know the difference. This isn't just with others -- this is with you, too. There will be times in your life when you can be selfish and times when you straight up shouldn't be. Do you really want to move in with this guy you met online who lives on the coast of Australia? Or should you take that opportunity to work with the Habitat for Humanity who's offering you a hefty scholarship for college? Sometimes what's best for you isn't what you want -- but will be what you want down the line. Sometimes it's best to just shut out the world for a moment and have some well-deserved me time. Sometimes it's the only remedy! Take a bit of time each day -- whether it's at home, work, or on a run -- to just do you. Destressing is important for all your daily activities. You're just improving your productivity! Try meditation, yoga, or simply go for a walk. If that's not an option, take 10 minutes at your desk to daydream. The downtime will energize you for the rest of your obligations and give you much needed focus. Humility is practically shoved down our throats, isn't it? Someone offers you a compliment and you're taught to say, "Aww, no, it wasn't that good. Plus, so many other people helped me." Don't do it! Relish it. Accept it. You've earned it! We all need to give ourselves a pat on the back once in a while. And if others do it for us, great! Those people want to compliment us -- let them! They wouldn't go out of their way if they didn't want to. Friends are getting together for pizza and beer on Thursday night when you promised yourself you'd go the gym, but they're depending on your place for the large screen TV? Too bad. You have plans that you don't feel like breaking. They can do their thing elsewhere. You have calories to burn! It's fine to be an inconvenience. If your friends are ordering pizza and you're vegetarian, speak up! Tell them you want -- no, demand -- a veggie supreme. They're desire for pepperoni is no more important (in fact, less so) than your dietary constrictions. Thanksgiving coming up? Well, let them keep the turkey, but come up with your own alternative! Compromises can easily be had.
summary: Do what fulfills you. Pick your battles. Choose "me" time. Be proud of your accomplishments. Be selfish with your body.
