Lamination pouches come in a variety of sizes. When choosing a size, make sure it's small enough to fit in your machine. That means that the folded side of the pouch needs to be smaller than the area you feed the pouch into. However, ensure your paper can fit completely inside the pouch. If your project is small, try using a smaller sheet so you don't waste part of the pouch. Pouches range in thickness from 3 millimeters to 14 millimeters. The thicker pouches provide more protection. However, always check the directions for your machine, as many machines cannot handle very thick pouches. Most machines will handle pouches in the 3-5 millimeter thickness. If you want to cut out the white around an object on the paper, it's best to do it before you laminate it. Cut carefully around the edges until you're happy with how it looks. A laminating pouch is 2 sheets held together by 1 folded edge. Open the pouch up and place the edge of the paper up against the inside of the folded edge. On the other edges, make sure to leave a little space between the edge of the paper and the edge of the pouch for the laminator to seal the edges. Close the pouch. Don't cut the pouch before inserting it in the machine, as that can cause jams. If you have multiple pieces, carefully space them out inside the pouch, leaving a bit of room between them. You will need to be able to cut between them and still have a bit of laminated edge around each piece. Some laminators warn against using multiple pieces in 1 pouch, so read your instruction booklet to find out more about your machine before attempting this.

When you have a crush, it can definitely be hard to not geek out when he comes around, but try your best to stay calm and to remember that he is just a normal guy. Don't be afraid to make eye contact and smile at him. It's totally okay to have your own opinions and to like whatever things you are passionate about, even if you feel like those things aren't "cool." Don't pretend to like things you don't just to try to impress someone. Guys can tell when you're being fake. It's okay to have different opinions or to disagree with the guy you like, too. If something comes up in class, don't be afraid to speak out for what you believe in. This makes you seem like you have your own thoughts and would be an interesting person to talk to. It's much more likely that the guy you like will like you back if his friends think you're fun. Don't be afraid to talk to them in class, in the hallway, at lunch, or at after-school activities. Ask them about their hobbies, talk to them about homework assignments, and mention when you notice things you have in common, like enjoying the same books or movies. Think about how you become friends with anyonegenerally, you find a common interest and start talking about it. Be friendly, smile, and ask them questions about themselves. Be willing to take chances and do new things, even if you feel scared or anxious. Don't be afraid to laugh at yourself or to make jokes in front of the guy you like. Having a good sense of humor and being fun-loving are really attractive qualities! For example, if your class needs volunteers for an activity, don't be afraid to get up in front of everyone and help. If you do something embarrassing, try to laugh it off and turn it into a joke. This will show that you don't take yourself too seriously. It's really easy to talk about yourself, but when you're trying to get to know someone better, try asking them questions about themselves instead. Open-ended questions are ones that require more than a "yes" or "no" answer; they're great at getting people to share! Try out some of these questions: What did you think of the book we had to read for English class? What was it like having so many practices for soccer over the summer? What do you like to do on the weekends? What are your favorite TV shows right now?
