Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep your distance. Avoid overreacting Remind yourself that the worst is over. Find a support system.

Answer: You may feel surprised and hurt when you hear the news. Though it may feel almost impossible not to contact her immediately, hold yourself back from doing so. She made a decision that was hers to make, despite the fact it may pain you immensely. Resist the urge to text. If you can't stop thinking about things you want to say, reach out to a close friend with whom you can talk. Or, try writing them down. Unfollow, unfriend, and otherwise avoid interacting with her on social media. Do not allow yourself to even view her social media profiles. If you catch yourself doing so, don't become frustrated with yourself; simply stop and do something else. . Even in a scenario where you were egregiously mistreated, do not do anything motivated by a desire for vengeance. While it goes without saying that you should not do anything dangerous or illegal, you should also avoid saying or doing anything disrespectful. In particular, do not repeatedly contact her to question her righteousness or morality. When you're feeling betrayed you will likely catch yourself thinking one-dimensionally in terms of who is in the wrong. Do not allow your initial thoughts and feelings to guide your behavior. Avoid making a scene or acting hysterical. This may mean avoiding your ex if seeing her will lead to strong emotional responses. If you're struggling to keep it together, commit to a regular daily routine. Structure and repetitiveness are comforting, especially when you may be stressed. Avoid using alcohol or drugs to cope. Not only are these unhealthy behaviors, they may lead you to behave in ways that you will regret. Instead, try calming yourself with deep breathing, meditation, going for a run, or doing anything else that helps you center yourself. Again, this won't immediately remove the pain that you're feeling; however, it may help you start to get in the mindset that will be necessary to move on. You've endured some potentially traumatizing news, and getting through it will allow you to better face hard realizations moving forward. If a more blunt approach works better for you, remind yourself that you do not have a choice in the matter. You must move on, and you know you will eventually, even if it may not feel possible in this moment. Take pride in moments of resilience. When you think of her all of a sudden after not thinking of her a while, congratulate yourself for starting to move on, whether it feels like you've been able to do so or not. Though it may seem like a strong word, your experience will likely cause you to experience grief. Grieving is a process, during which you may need extra support from other people. Reach out to close friends or family members, especially those that have gone through a painful separation themselves. Focus on spending time with people who excite you. Positive people who are good at listening are the best type to help you heal. Further, make sure you're around those you can speak with honestly without worrying about judgment or criticism. Find new friends! In the course of dating, many people see their social networks shrink. This may be even worse if you shared in most of your friendships with your girlfriend. Don't hesitate to reach out to those who interest you, and make plans to do something simple and see if you hit it off. Don't hesitate to ask for help explicitly. Say something along the lines of, "Hey, can I tell you about some of the thoughts I've been having? I think it'll help to get them off my chest, and I'd appreciate your advice."

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider whom you will ask. Prepare to talk about your budget and spending. Demonstrate your interest in school or work. Ask for a loan.

Answer: By this point in your life, you probably have an idea of which parent is more likely to give you a few bucks. On the other hand, if you need a substantial amount of money, approach both of them together. Let them talk it over before you even make your case. You also might ask both parents together if they tend to be more indulgent as a couple than as individuals. Don't: mention this to your friends, especially if they know your parents.Do: talk to your siblings if your parents end up giving you money. If you keep it secret and they find out, it could cause resentment. As much as you might like to think that your budget is no longer your parents' business, asking them for money makes it their business. They probably won't expect you to present them with a printed out spreadsheet of your projected and actual monthly expenses. However, giving them a rough estimate will go a long way in demonstrating that you have a mature relationship with money. Allowing your parents to see a basic breakdown of where your money goes may help them feel more confident in giving you money (as long as your expenditures aren't frivolous in their eyes). Include a list of activities you participate in to earn money, whether it be a job, a freelance writing gig, classes to further your education, etc. Your parents will want to see that you're making an effort, not just "mooching." Don't: lecture your parents about how to budget their money.Do: make sure they can afford what you're asking for without affecting their safety net. Show them how you are doing well in school. To make it even more enticing, show them how you even plan to improve. This makes your financial situation seem like a temporary problem, not permanent. It also makes you seem grateful for the support they have already shown you in your academic or early work career. Your parents may not deem it necessary for you to pay them back. They may instead see this as an investment on their part. However, telling them you are prepared to work hard to pay them back will further demonstrate your financial maturity. On the other hand, actually agreeing to pay them back for money will teach you valuable lessons in money management. You and your parents can negotiate the repayment plan as necessary: they may want the money sooner; they may want to charge interest, etc. Be willing to work with them to set up a repayment plan you're all comfortable with.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Heat the oils. Stir fry the crushed red pepper and ginger. Mix in the red pepper and rice wine. Add the cabbage stems and carrots. Toss in the leafy cabbage sections and dressing. Transfer the slaw to a dish and serve. Finished.

Answer:
Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of canola oil and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of toasted sesame oil to a wok or large skillet. Turn the burner to high, and heat the oils for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are hot and start to shimmer. You can substitute vegetable or olive oil for the canola oil if you prefer. Toasted sesame oil has a very distinctive flavor so it's hard to substitute for it. If you can't find any, though, peanut oil is usually the best option. When the oils are hot, add 1 teaspoon (2 g) of crushed red pepper and 2 tablespoons (8 g) of minced fresh ginger to the pan. Stir them with a wooden spoon, and allow them to cook for 15 seconds. If you'd like your slaw to be especially hot, you can increase the amount of crushed red pepper that you add. After you've cooked the crushed red pepper and fresh ginger briefly, add 1 diced red bell pepper to the pan and allow it to cook 30 seconds, stirring frequently. Next, pour 1 tablespoons (22 ml) of rice wine into the mixture, and stir fry it for another 30 seconds. You can substitute sake for the rice wine if you prefer. Once you've allowed the diced red pepper and rice wine to stir fry for a minute, add the stem pieces of the cabbage and 1 cups (75 g) of grated carrots to the pan. Toss the ingredients lightly with the wooden spoon, and allow the mixture to cook for 1 minute. You can also mix in one 8-ounce (227 g) can of bamboo shoots that have been drained and thinly sliced if you like. After you've stir fried the stem sections of the cabbage and carrots briefly, add the leafy pieces of cabbage to the pan. Use the wooden spoon to toss the leafy sections into the mixture, and then pour the dressing mixture over the slaw. Stir the slaw well to coat it, and allow it to cook for another 30 seconds. When you're finished stir frying the slaw, use the spoon to place it in a serving dish or bowl. You can serve it hot, room temperature, or cold. Refrigerate any leftover slaw. The hot and sour slaw is an ideal side for grilled meats, such as pork or chicken.
