Problem: Article: Once your friend has rejected you, make sure to give you and your friend some time to process and readjust. You both probably feel uncertain about what the two of you now have, so give some time to think things through. If you usually spend every weekend with them or talk to them frequently via text, give yourself a few days apart and decrease your communication during that time. Keep in mind there's no set time limit for getting over someone. Go with your instincts on how much space or time you both need, but don't avoid each other for too long. If after a few days or weeks you feel you've processed your initial sadness, reach out to them to see if they're open to talking and spending time together. If they're still uncomfortable, ask them how much longer they need and let them know you'll be there for them when they're ready to talk again. Acknowledge that your friendship probably won't ever be quite the same again, but affirm how important it is for you to still be their friend. Let them know that no matter the rejection, you still value them as a friend. Communicate how being their friend means a lot to you. You can say, "You still mean a lot to me as a friend and I'd like to try to be friends still, even if it's a little awkward at first." Accept responsibility for trying to change the boundaries of your friendship. Acknowledge that you know it may have been awkward for them to hear your changed feelings. Show that you can handle the rejection well by accepting your friend's feelings and not trying to fight with them or change their mind. You can say, "I know this is probably awkward for you and I'm sorry for putting you in this position. Thanks for listening." Explain your reasoning behind confessing feelings to your friend. Let your friend know that you had to tell them the truth because your friendship has always been based on openness, honesty, and trust. If you've been good friends for awhile, have spent a lot of quality time together, and have developed this openness and honesty with each other, your friendship will have a better chance of restarting. You can say, "I would regret it if I never told you how I really felt, and I'm glad we're such good friends that I could be honest with you." Together, discuss specific ways you can return to your friendship. Check-in with your friend about what they need or want from you now that you've confessed your feelings. Check-in on how they see the situation and ask if they have any ideas for making things better between the two of you.
Summary: Ensure you've given yourself enough time. Affirm the importance of your friendship. Accept responsibility. Explain yourself. Ask what your friend needs.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Measure 2 tablespoons (28.5 grams) of melted butter, 2 tablespoons (42.5 grams) of honey, 2 teaspoons (11 grams) of soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon (1.1 grams) of pepper into a small bowl. Add the juice from a medium-sized lemon and 2 cloves of minced garlic. If you don't like garlic, simply leave it out. Use manuka honey for maximum health benefits. Continue to mix the ingredients until they are thoroughly combined and the marinade has an even texture. This helps the marinade to have a consistent taste when it is cooked. If there are any lumps in the mixture, use the back of the spoon to squash them. Dip a pastry brush into the marinade and paint it over the halibut fillets. Make sure that the entire surface of the fish is covered with the marinade. This helps to make the skin crispy and full of flavour. If you don't have a pastry brush, use a spoon to drizzle the mixture over both sides of the fish instead. Place the halibut onto the grill for 5 minutes. Use a metal spatula to turn the fish over and cook it for another 5 minutes. Insert an instant-read food thermometer into the middle of the fish and check that it has reached 135F (57C). This indicates that the halibut is ready to eat. Enjoy!

SUMMARY: Measure the butter, honey, lemon, soy sauce, pepper, and garlic into a bowl. Mix the ingredients with a spoon. Brush both sides of the halibut fillets with the marinade. Grill the halibut for 5 minutes on each side.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most colleges have some deadline by which point you must officially choose a major. This may be one year, two years, or more. It is good to be intentional about this decision, and to choose a major that you like. However, you may find that the act of declaring a focus makes it much easier to see what you want and don't want. Once you've spent a semester taking classes and trying to work toward a certain major, you'll have a much better idea of what it means to pursue that degree. Choose something that excites you. Don't just pick a major at random from the catalog. Be honest with yourself, and give it a real shot. Once you choose a major, you've effectively stated your purpose, and you've given yourself a track for moving forward in college. You have not, however, locked yourself into anything irreversible. Many people change their majors several times before they settle upon something. Some people even go back for a second degree. Try to keep perspective. Remember that you can always change course! If you aren't happy with the major that you pick, you can switch to something more fulfilling. If your college doesn't offer the major that you want, you can always transfer to another school. There is always a way out. Don't be afraid to dive into a major that interests you, even if you aren't 100 percent certain. You may find that it's easy to switch between similar majors. For instance, many classes may overlap between the English degree path and the Comparative Literature path. You may find a lot of common ground between the Biology track and the Environmental Science track. The general education requirements (GEs) are usually fairly similar across a "department" or "school" within a university. For instance, many of the introductory classes for the Mechanical Engineering track probably apply to other tracks within the engineering department. Biology, Chemistry, and Physics degree paths often require some mixture of the same introductory science courses. Many college degrees organize classes and students under broad themes and concepts, giving you plenty of room to define your own focus. Choose a concentration within the major. Supplement with a double major, if you can handle the workload. Pursue a minor (or two!) that gives you an outlet for your other interests. Don't be afraid to engage with a degree path and make it your own.
Summary:
Declare a major. Recognize that this decision may not be final. Keep your eyes open. Refine your major.
