Place the spaghetti squash on a dish towel so it doesn't slip around when you cut it. To cut the squash in half, pierce the center of the squash with your knife. Then, cut from the center of the squash to one of the ends. Turn the squash around and cut from the center to the other end of the squash. Once you've cut almost all the way through the squash lengthwise, pull the 2 halves apart using your hands. To make roasted spaghetti squash seeds, simmer the seeds you scooped out of the spaghetti squash in salted water for 10 minutes. Then, pat the seeds dry with a dishcloth and toss them in olive oil and salt. Roast the seeds on a baking sheet in the oven at 325F (163C) for 20 minutes.

Summary: Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Save the seeds if you want to roast them for a snack.

Similar with any semi-permanent buildings. It is not just a matter of permission for more pitches it is also a matter of what obligations you may have in terms of upgrading existing infrastructure, electricity supply, water supply, sewerage, access, security, health and safety. For instance, the electrical supply may only be sufficient for the electric current demand of the existing number of pitches so existing cable work may need replacing. Is the capacity sufficient for current use and any expansion plans? Has the system been inspected by the relevant state or local authorities - have they issued any demands for improvements and, if so, how long would you have to comply and how much would it cost? Most will have a website or year book; check if to see if the campsite is listed and if so, what comments and ratings are given. Most large camping organisations also have inspectors who visit sites find out what they are looking for when they rate a campsite. For instance, a certain governing body in Europe stipulates a minimum shower cubicle width as a condition for a certain star rating - if cubicles have already been built but are too small, then obtaining higher star ratings may prove expensive. You could choose to view the inspector's demands as a hurdle to jump but actually he only represents the wishes of the majority of campers in the organisation he represents, so really his comments should be seen as valuable commercial advice - ignore the wishes of your campers at your peril!

Summary: Consider whether permits have been obtained for the number of spaces or pitches already operated. If you plan to expand the campsite, talk to the relevant authorities before purchase. Remember that sewerage does not travel uphill, at least not without specialist sewerage pumps, so you need to consider the existing layout when considering expanding into areas of differing elevations.

If you want to have a meaningful life, the first step is to understand your own life story. How you interpret the events of your life impacts how you see yourself and the world around you. Try to reflect on your life and develop a positive and meaningful life story. Review the events of your life. When have you felt strongest and happiest? What hardships have you faced? It can help to jot down a brief narrative of your life, starting at your earlier memories and moving into the present moment. Try to find meaning in the various stories of your life. There's a lot of power in being able to construct your own sense of meaning and purpose. For example, think of a challenge you faced. Maybe you've always struggled with math. Despite studying very hards, your grades have always been lackluster. You can read this as evidence that you work hard but still aren't rewarded. However, try to find a more positive, inspiring meaning here. This shows you are the type of person who works hard because you feel it's important to work hard. You do not expect external rewards for your efforts and continue to persevere even in the face of setbacks. Your struggles with this particular subject in school can easily speak to your strong character. If you want to make your life matter, you need a sense of purpose. What drives you as a person? What difference do you want to make in the world? It can take a long time to develop a clear sense of purpose. Youth is a great time to explore and question your own purpose. While you may not come to an answer until you're an adult, take some time to consider the possible purposes for your life. Consider yourself and your principles. How do you define right and wrong? How do you want to make an impact on the world? Some people want to help others directly, through service, while others want to inspire those around them through works of art or writing. How can you see yourself serving a greater purpose or meaning? Why? Your life is probably very busy. Between school, a social life, and other activities you are likely occupied with tasks throughout the day. Try to pause during your day, however, for a few moments to question why you're doing what you're doing. This can help you cultivate a sense of purpose. For example, why are you taking time after school for horseback riding lessons? What about the practice is meaningful to you? Do you care about animals? Can you see yourself finding purpose in working towards improving animal welfare? Any small, seemingly meaningless activity you engage in can help you foster a sense of purpose. Your youth is a great time to explore your interests and passions. Spend some time figuring out what inspires you, what pushes you to be a better person. This can help you live a meaningful life. Work on exploring your interests. Join a club in school that you think you might like. Engage in an extracurricular activity, like joining a sport's team, and see if you enjoy it. Read about subjects that interest you. If you're interested in animal welfare, for example, read books and articles exploring the subject. If you're interested in art, check out a book from your library about art and art history. Focus on things that you not only joy but feel inspired by. When engaging in your passions, you should feel good about yourself. If you're trying to find meaning, it's important to identify a set of values for yourself. Keep in mind these values may change with time or experience. Do not think of them as unchanging rules but rather loose guidelines you can explore throughout the course of your life. There are a variety of questions you can ask yourself to help you figure out your values. Write down a list of people you admire. These can be people you know personally or public figures. What do you admire about these people? Why? If your house was on fire, what three objects would you bring? The objects you value show a lot about what value as a person. What issues do you get most excited talking about? What would you change about your community? What was the most fulfilling moment of your life? Why? Look over your answers when you're done. Are there any common themes you notice? Look for common beliefs and principles in your answers. You can use these to get a sense of your personal values.
Summary: Define your life story. Explore your sense of purpose. Explore your passions. Identify your personal values.
