Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make friends with the squad. Keep a positive attitude Develop confidence. Be energetic

Answer: This can help you get a sense of the culture of your school's squad. Every squad is different, and oftentimes members want to choose new cheerleaders who will fit in with the group. Try to strike up a conversation with members of the squad to get a feel for the group. If you have class with a member of the cheer squad, try talking to her before the bell rings. If you can choose your own seat, try sitting next to her in class so you can chat. Ask to sit with the cheer squad at lunch. While you may feel awkward doing so, remember that the worst thing that can happen is they'll say no. . Cheerleaders are supposed to build up morale, so being positive is vital. Work on developing a positive mentality, as this will help you bring out enthusiasm in those around you. Be kind to yourself. Do not say anything to yourself that you would not say to someone else. Check yourself throughout the day to make sure you're staying confident. If you screw up on a test, you may think, "You're so stupid. I can't believe you did that." Stop and correct yourself. Instead, think, "Everyone makes mistakes. I'll do better next time." Surround yourself with people who are positive. Stay close to friends and family members who are encouraging of others. Try to be equally kind and enthusiastic in return. Confidence is contagious. Part of a cheerleader's job is to keep the team and crowd excited about victory. You should work on building up your own confidence to increase your chance of getting on the team. Work on your overall wellbeing. This will make you feel better about yourself. For example, do not watch TV all night. Instead, work on activities that make you feel good. Get your homework done, go out with friends, or work on a hobby. Set goals and pursue them. This will also help bolster your confidence. For example, say you want to finish a book you're reading. Set out to read a certain number of pages each day. . Cheerleaders need to be high energy to get everyone in the stadium excited. Work on building your energy in preparation for tryouts. Laugh throughout the day. This can raise your heart rate, blood pressure, and mood. Watch a funny video clip online. Watch a movie you like. Hang out with a friend who makes you laugh. Stretch throughout the day when you're feeling sluggish. A good stretch can help increase your energy and mood. Make sure to get adequate sleep each night. A regular sleep schedule can help improve your overall energy.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine your guest count. Find out special food preferences. Determine if you will have a theme. Choose catering or cooking. Include foods from various groups.

Answer: It's important to know how many people will be dining because it can affect the type of brunch service you choose. Sit-down brunches are great for small parties, while buffet-style brunches are preferable for large parties. There are no set rules regarding the number of guests required for each type of service; it depends on both the type of food being served as well as the amenities for service. Once your guest list is set, you can decide your service style which will set the tone for the food being served. For example, fresh pancakes may be feasible for 6 guests but for 20 it can prove to be difficult. Sit-down services typically have a set menu from which guests can choose from various offerings. Buffet-style brunch tends to offer wider a selection of options including omelet or pancake stations. Determine if you have guests who require unique menu items. For example, ask your guests if they are vegetarian, vegan, or have food allergies. This will allow you to have a few items available for those who don't eat traditional brunch menu items such as meat products, eggs, or items cooked with allergy causing ingredients such as peanuts. Brunches don't usually require a theme, but if you are planning a themed brunch it can affect your choice of menu items. For example, if you're hosting a tea themed brunch you're more likely to serve tea instead of mimosas. On the other hand, if your theme is a vintage-style brunch you'll be more likely to serve traditional dishes like eggs benedict or bagels and lox. Examples of themed brunches include vintage-style, tea party, garden party, formal affair, or springtime soiree. Catering a brunch tends to limit your menu options while choosing to cook your own food allows you absolute freedom. The choice to cater or cook depends on your cooking ability, the number of guests, your budget, and your available time. Catering costs vary greatly. Some companies offer fixed pricing where the menu item has a set price, tiered pricing where prices are lowered for bulk orders, or custom pricing which is based on each event. If you are planning to cook food items yourself, you can always start the night before. Set out napkins and utensils, make the mix for drinks, and cook items that will hold well over night such as French toast. Brunch is an opportunity to create a spread of meal options for guests to pick and choose from as they please. A brunch menu should provide a well-balanced array of foods from all of the 5 food groups: dairy, fruit, grain, meats and poultry, and vegetables and beans.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Purchase a few onions. Peel the skin off the onions. Decide how you will obtain the juice from the onion. Test the onion juice in a small, hidden spot on your skin to test for an allergic reaction. Apply the onion juice to your scalp and massage it in. Leave in the onion juice for at least 30 minutes, up to one hour. Wash your hair as you normally would. Repeat three times per week.

Answer:
While it is best to make the juice in small batches so that it does not go bad, it will be helpful to have extra onions on hand for when you need to make the next batch. Peel it off using your fingers, or you can cut the onions into chunks, which often helps the skin come off easily. You have three options for doing this, based on what kind of kitchen appliances and tools you already own: A juicer: Cut the onion in small chunks and feed them through the juicer. A blender or food processor: Cut the onion into about four chunks and process the chunks in the blender or food processor. Strain the mixture through a metal strainer or cheesecloth over a bowl so that only the juice remains. A grater: Cut the onion in half and run each half over the grater. Strain the grated onion through a cheesecloth over a bowl to extract the juice. Fresh, pure onion juice is potent and can cause a reaction if you are allergic. Do not proceed with the rest of the steps if you are allergic. Carefully pour the juice over your scalp, and then use your fingertips to massage it into your scalp. Adding the massage gives the process extra power to stimulate your hair follicles. In order to achieve the best results, the onion juice needs to sit on your scalp for at least a half an hour. Once the time is up, shampoo and condition your hair as usual to remove the onion smell. It is recommended to repeat this method three times per week for best results within a couple of months.
