INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Tuck the sleeves inside the shirt first, so that you have nice, curved edges for the arm holes. Place the shirt on top of the craft foam. Trace around the shirt, including the arm holes, stopping a few inches below each arm pit. This will be the base for your chest plate.  If you can't find craft foam, thin, flexible cardboard may also work. Make sure it's white. Stay on the safe side, and add a few extra inches to the top of the shoulders. Test it over your own chest. The top edges should wrap over your own shoulders. The bottom edge should extend a few inches past your armpit. Don't worry about it wrapping all the way around your torso. Make sure that the breast cups are touching each other in the middle (this forms the cleavage). The top edges of the breast cups should be just below the arm pit of the chest plate. The bottom edges will likely hang over the bottom edge of the chest plate. The thinner part of the breasts should be pointing upwards. The thicker, fuller part should be pointing downwards. Once the glue dries, flip the chest plate over. Trim off the excess chest plate until you can see the entire inside of each breast cup again. This will make the breasts more comfortable to wear, especially if you are a girl.

SUMMARY: Trace the upper part of a t-shirt onto a sheet of white craft foam. Cut the chest plate out. Glue the breast cups to the bottom of your chest plate. Trim off the excess chest plate behind the breast cups.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Distractions from classmates sitting in front of you can make it very difficult to pay attention in class and keep up with lessons. Choose a seat at the front of the classroom, where you can listen attentively to everything that your teacher says. Being up front will also put you on your teacher’s radar, which will allow them to see you engaging with the lesson and may help you  win you extra points with them.  Being in front will also remove the temptation to pull out your phone, read something that isn’t pertinent to the class, or zone out. If you can't move to the front of the class, ask your classmates to let you focus and to not talk to you during class. Absorb the most that you can during each lesson by taking notes in class. Instead of writing down every word your teacher says, listen attentively to pick up on the important details, such as names, dates, and places. Write short, simple sentences that include important keywords from the lesson. For instance, "Franz Ferdinand (archduke of Austria) was assassinated on June 28, 1914." Speaking up in class is an excellent way to show that you are keeping up with the course work and thinking about the material thoughtfully. Bring up points and questions that relate directly to the specific lesson or module your class is covering that week. Mention other students’ ideas in a respectful way, either to agree or disagree, to show that you are fully engaged in the conversation.  For example, say something like, "I agree with Andrea's point about global warming, and I think even more effort can be put into making a change." Try to think of questions that will spark further discussion. For instance, "How do you think Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet might have been different if he had written the play in the age of social media?"

SUMMARY: Sit at the front of the class. Take detailed notes. Take part in class discussions.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many people commit the cardinal sin of breaking up via text or Facebook. Doing it that way will not signal that you really care. Show this person respect at the end because you won’t maintain a friendship if the break up goes badly.  Talking in person will let you break down everything that you want to say. It will also allow your significant other the chance to respond instead of feeling shut out.   Remember that not giving people closure makes them suffer psychologically. Don’t do that if you want to stay friends because no one likes to be left hanging.   You can use body language to guide the conversation if you meet in person. If your partner has rigid shoulders, is open-mouthed, or looks down a lot, you’ll know that the conversation is upsetting to them. If your partner seems relaxed and maybe even smiles, you’ll know you are not delivering blows. This is an important discussion, and you both need to be focused, so having it just anywhere won’t help you get your point across. To stay friends, remember that atmosphere counts.  Avoid places that are crowded. You need privacy, not some busy body at the next table eavesdropping on every word.  Don’t go somewhere that the two of you used to go together. That will bring up sad memories for you both.  Pick a park, a large, open cafe or other locale where the two of you can have space. Definitely don’t meet at one of your houses, which will be uncomfortable. No one wants to hear “It’s me, not you.” Starting off in such an insincere way won’t help the break up talk go smoothly and you will end up insulting your ex.  If you aren’t attracted to the person anymore, you can tell them that, but be gentle, of course. If you don’t see a future due to different life goals, that is a legitimate reason. Simply say, "Joe, I am trying to find a job that will allow me to travel, and you're a homebody. A long-term relationship probably just isn't right for us." Maybe you feel that the differences in your communication styles will cause problems down the road. Try saying something like, "We have misunderstandings far too often. We can probably find other people that understand us better." Even though you don't want to continue seeing this person, there's no need to criticize every little thing about them.  Don't criticize your ex's family. You're not going to date this person anymore, so there is no reason to announce that his siblings were bossy and his mom was nosy. Don't blame their pets. If you were allergic to the cat in the beginning of the year-long relationship and stayed around, that cat has nothing to do with the break up. Making other trivial claims, like that they live too far away, is just not necessary. More reasons won’t make the person getting dumped feel better.

SUMMARY: End the relationship in person. Pick a location that will lead to a productive talk. Be honest and skip the cliché. Avoid adding extra reasons just for emphasis.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will want to make sure you have what you need for the night and morning close at hand.  Gather your clothes and toiletries for the next day and place them on a shelf or somewhere where they will stay dry. Find an outlet for your phone.  Make sure you will be able to reach your phone from the tub so you can see what time it is and use it as an alarm in the morning. Bring in anything you will use to entertain yourself, like a tablet, laptop, or a book to read. If there is only one bathroom available, it’s best to be on the same page so everyone can agree on how to deal with the situation. You don’t want someone turning on the shower on you in the morning!  Decide what you will do if someone else needs to use the bathroom during the night. Agree on what time will be reasonable for you to wake up and get out of the bathtub so others can use it for showers in the morning. It’s time to get in the tub and start snoozing, so get comfy.  Position yourself with your head on the opposite side of the tub from the tap. That way if you forget where you are and sit up you won’t bump your head or face on the faucet. Use the fan for white noise if you need to block out background noise to sleep better.  Turn out the lights.  If you think you might wake up and be disoriented, use a nightlight. That will also help your roommates in case they forget you’re in there and you startle them.

SUMMARY:
Bring your personal items into the bathroom. Touch base with your guests or roommates. Go to sleep!
