According to the United States Copyright Office, copyright protects original works of authorship. Common examples include dramatic, literary, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, photographs, paintings, and architecture. If you create an original work that fits within the categories listed, your work is protected by copyright. Copyright protection does not protect mere ideas. Instead, the idea must be put into something tangible. If you created a song, for example, you must either record the song, write out the notes or lyrics to the song, or otherwise make the song exist somewhere other than in your mind for it to be eligible. Use the copyright symbol ©️, known as "The C in a circle." You can also use the word "Copyright" or the abbreviation "Copr." to show that your work is protected by copyright law. If you are identifying your copyright in a sound recording only, then use the letter P in the circle. The use of this notice was required to have copyright protection in the past. However, as of March 1, 1989, you are not required to provide notice on any type of work. Nevertheless, it is still a good idea from a legal standpoint to post a copyright notice. For example, it can deter others from plagiarizing your work. In terms of copyright law, the word "publish" refers to the year in which you distributed copies or phonorecords (CDs, cassettes, etc.) of your work by sale or other transfer, such as rental, lease, or lending. If your work contains other copyrighted material, then the year the compilation was first published is sufficient. If the work is unpublished, then you can use a notice that reads: "Unpublished work Copyright 2016 Jane Doe." After creating your copyright symbol (or equivalents), you need to provide the name of the copyright holder. You can also use an abbreviation or an alternative designation that is generally known. Use your real name or any other name that you have the legal right to use. If you want your business to hold the copyright, then make sure you have properly formed the business. You may also need to complete a "Doing Business As" if you want to hold the copyright in your fictitious business name. With a phonorecord, the producer's name will be considered part of the notice if the producer is named on the label or container and the notice contains no other name. You should place the copyright notice in such a way that it provides reasonable notice of the copyright claim. It should not be concealed or hidden from view. If you can't affix the copyright notice to the work itself, then you can attach it to a tag that travels along with the article in commerce. If you are selling a motion picture or audiovisual work, then you can affix the notice on a permanent container. Copyright notice is most often found in the footer of a website, at the bottom of a piece of written music, or in the first few pages of a book. In a video, you may include a copyright notice in the credits or with the title. You can also include a rights statement, if you want. This statement tells the public what rights you are reserving for yourself. Consider using the following: For example, you could write "All Rights Reserved" if you don't want to allow anyone to copy anything. For a Creative Commons License, you might want to include "Some Rights Reserved." To give all rights away, you could include "No Rights Reserved."

It sounds simple enough, but it is so easy to get wrapped up in how-to advice and forget about how cool you are already just for existing. Every person is as unique and offers something different to the world which is a great and beautiful thing. "Cool" isn't so much an aesthetic as it is a vibe, granted there are things that assist that vibe physically, but a lot of the work happens within. While it is okay to find yourself, it's never okay to alter yourself just to fit the mold. Embrace what makes you different because that uniqueness is the key to looking cool. When you feel cool, you look cool. Go against the grain and like what you like, even if it is the road less traveled as far as interests go. If you are into gaming or anime conventions, but people rarely are, do your thing. If you enjoy staying in while others enjoy going out, do you. Don't force yourself to be a part of what everyone else is doing. Instead find ways to be outgoing while being true to your wants and interest. That just makes you cooler and more interesting. Know that even the best people, as with anything, come with good and bad. There are parts of yourself that you won't like, aspects about your appearance that you wish to change, but instead of punishing yourself for your faults, own them and use them to your advantage. Embracing what makes you unique not only adds to reaffirming your overall sense of self, but it also adds to your confidence. Knowing not only who you are, but carrying intelligence in other areas of life: music, film, academics, sports adds a cool unique flair to your personality. Be upbeat and optimistic. Draw people towards you with your sunny personality and award-winning smile. When you feel good about yourself, it usually bursts out of you and touches others around you, and the more positive and confident you are, the more like-minded individuals you'll find in your circle. Attracting those personalities naturally round out your cool vibe.

One-sentence summary -- Be yourself. Own who you are and appreciate it as individuality. Be positive and kind.
