In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Come up with a short slogan, story, or fact related to the sound or symbol of the element. These should be short phrases that help you remember the element's name and symbol. For example, Argentina was named after the metal silver (Argentum or Ag) because when the Spanish landed there, they thought that the country had lots of silver. Sometimes, you might make something funny to remember the element -- for example," 'EY! YOU! Give me back my GOLD!" can help you remember that the symbol for gold is Au. Darmstadtium is Ds, just like a Nintendo DS. If you want a mnemonic for this, try "DARN! STATS for my game were all lost on my Ds!" Use the letters in an element symbol to create a phrase that will help you remember the element itself. You can also string together a sequence of elements to help you remember their order. These phrases don't have to make much sense. They just have to help you remember the element. For example, you might say "Zebras need zinc" to remember that Zn is the symbol for zinc. To remember the order of elements, create a sentence where the elements spell a word. For example, to learn Al Si P S Cl Ar, you might say, "Al SiPS CleAr water." An image will help you recall the element and its symbol more quickly than just memorizing the letters. Assign each element a picture. Use any image that makes sense to you. Use pictures that are associated with the element. For example, for aluminum, you might use a picture of aluminum foil. For helium, you might think of a balloon. You can also use pictures that sound like the element. For example, you might picture a pirate for Argon (Ar). You can either create your own song or find one on the internet. Try to find a recently updated version, as new elements have been added. ASAPScience has a recent version of the song with the new elements added. One famous periodic table song is the "The Elements" by Tom Lehrer.
Summary: Write a phrase to help you remember each element. Spell a word or phrase with the letters of the element. Associate each element with an image. Memorize the periodic table song.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Seeing your crush with another guy is not a good feeling, especially if you had no idea she was with someone else already. You thought you had a chance with her and suddenly you realize that you don't. Your first instinct might be to panic or even get angry. Getting upset is a normal reaction. You might find yourself breathing very fast or holding your breath when this happens. This can make your anxiety a lot worse, unfortunately. Take a moment to focus on your breathing. Breathe slowly and deeply. If it helps, close your eyes for a moment. Inhale while counting to five, then exhale while counting to five. The more you look at her with someone else, the more it will hurt. It's going to be hard, but force yourself to look away. If you don't, you might start getting visibly upset, which will make you feel even worse. If you're staring, she might notice and get uncomfortable. Her boyfriend might also notice and get angry. You'll feel better if you focus on something else. Pull out a book or your class notes and focus on reading. Even if you're too upset to read, do what you can to keep your eyes on the page. If you're not in class, pull out your phone and text a friend or play a game. This isn't always going to be an option, but if you can, get up and leave the room. Try to do this as calmly and naturally as you can. Keep your pace normal as you head for the door. Find a quiet place where you can have a moment of privacy. Your thoughts will probably feel really negative at first. You might feel angry at yourself, or not good enough. This is normal. For every negative thought you have, try to immediately follow it up with a positive one. For instance, you might think, "He is way more popular than me and better at sports, too. Of course she likes him over me." Try to counter this with a positive thought right away. You could think, "But I'm popular, too. I have lots of friends. Maybe I'm not good at sports but I'm good at other things." One of the best ways to cope with this situation is to immediately track down one of your friends and talk to them. Make sure it's someone you trust and can be open with. Tell your friend what happened, even if you feel a little embarrassed about it. Chances are, your friend has experienced this very same situation. It tends to happen to everyone at some point! Talking about it with a friend can help you feel a lot better.
Summary: Breathe. Look away. Get out of the situation. Find a friend to talk to.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Give your characters things that they want. Having established goals is a great way to drive the story and create storylines when you're running low on ideas. You don't want characters that seem perfect. This strikes readers as being unrealistic and boring. If you want people to really sympathize with your characters and root for them, give them flaws. They can be greedy, too talkative, rude, selfish, or not exactly smarter than your average bear. Give your characters backgrounds, interests, hobbies, and other things that show that they have actual lives. This makes them seem more real and relatable. Fight the cliches! Don't make your characters "normal" by comic standards. Give them individual and unique characteristics, and think of new and different ideas for your comic. Remember, your characters don't have to fall in love. Don't make a character for the sole purpose of being a love interest; make them realistic, and if a love story seems appropriate between two characters, let it develop in a realistic manner. Cliches aren't how people are, they are how people think they are supposed to be. You can help change this by making your characters behave like people do in the real world.
Summary:
Give them hopes and dreams. Give them flaws. Flesh out their lives. Fight cliches.
