In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Take the extra 10 or 15 minutes you need to look your absolute best before you see your crush. Even just small things can change you from someone in the background to someone who catches their attention. Not only can looking your best make your crush notice you, it can also give you the confidence boost you need to approach your crush.  Pay attention to your hair. Even doing a quick comb through can make a big difference. For girls especially, straightening or curling their hair can give them a confidence boost. If you wear makeup, make sure that it is applied well and will last all day. Also make sure that you are taking care of your body in general by getting enough sleep and taking care of your skin so you look fresh and healthy. Dressing differently than the people around you is a good way to get noticed. This works especially well if you are in an environment where everyone dresses in a similar way.  If people at your school dress similarly or in uniform, wear a statement necklace or a pair of cool sneakers to catch the attention of your crush. If you are in a professional work environment, wear something that is appropriate but different. For instance, wear a collared shirt with an interesting pattern or a sparkly headband. If red is your color, go for it. Studies show that both genders are more attracted to people when they wear red. Pull out a red dress or shirt from your closet to get your crush’s attention. If you don’t like wearing red, choose another bright color to help you stand out from the crowd. When trying to impress a crush, it’s easy to take it too far. You want to look nice, but remember to wear clothing that’s appropriate for the situation.  For instance, if your crush is in your yoga class, don’t dress for class like you’re headed to the red carpet. Remember that everything is better in moderation. This goes for perfume and cologne as well. Do your best to be in the line of sight of your crush. If you are in the same class, try to sit near or in front of him. If you see him at the gym, work out nearby. Do this until you are sure that your crush has seen you and knows that you exist! Don’t do it to the point where you’re around your crush more than you should be. There’s a difference between making sure your crush sees you around and stalking your crush. Get involved in whatever space you see your crush. If you go to school with your crush, join a sports team or an extracurricular activity. If you volunteer with your crush, take on more hours. Becoming more involved will make you more visible and show you as a person with drive and purpose, which are both attractive qualities.
Summary: Spend extra time on your appearance. Look different. Wear red. Don’t go overboard with your outfit. Make sure your crush has seen you around. Get more involved.

Q: It is easy to feel nervous when you only began thinking about your subject the night before it's due. Begin preparing yourself as soon as you find out you will be speaking in front of your class. Start to think about what points you want to include in your speech, and how you want to structure your time.  You don't need to have your speech memorized weeks before the due date. Simply start thinking about your timeline. Set aside a little time every day to work on your presentation. Depending upon the type of speech, you may not need to memorize it at all, or you may be allowed to use note cards to help you keep your place. Try to have a subject and a general outline of what points you want to cover developed a day or two after you get the assignment. Then, take 20 or 30 minutes each day to do a little research and write out part of your speech. It may seem counter-intuitive, but you don't want to read off a script when you speak. Instead, make notes that outline your main points, and provide one or two pieces of data for each point. If you can, print this on an outline that will fit on a single sheet of paper. That way, you don't have to worry about out-of-order pages or notecards.  If you are talking about historical events, for example, have an outline where the headings give the name and date of each event. Then, have one point under that with the major players, and one point briefly summarizing what happened. Don't read directly from the outline. Just use it as a guideline to help you remember key points and keep your structure. It's there to help you if you get lost, but it shouldn't be a script. Once you have your points researched and a script or outline prepared, start rehearsing your speech. Begin by rehearsing to your reflection while you memorize your information. Once you have your points memorized enough that you don't need a script, ask some friends or a teacher if you can practice delivering your points to them.  Practice at least 2-3 times each day. The better you know what you want to say, the more comfortable you will feel the day you have to say it. When you practice for others, use their feedback as a learning opportunity. Remember that they are not trying to make you feel bad. They are just helping you find places where you can improve your facts or presentation. Whether you are speaking in your classroom or in your school's theater, try to look at the room at least once before you make your points. Think about where you will be relative to your audience. Find out if you will have access to tools like a podium, and start planning where you want them.  This is especially important if you are speaking in a room other than your classroom. Unfamiliar environments can make nerves worse. You can lessen this by becoming familiar with the environment before you have to speak there. Even if you don't think looking at the room will help, do it anyway. It is easier to relax in a place that is at least a little familiar.
A: Start planning your speech well in advance. Make notes regarding your primary points. Rehearse your speech until you have your points memorized. Look at the room in advance.

Problem: Article: Make stacks with one piece each of cut pineapple, banana, and strawberry. Press a popsicle stick through each stack. Place the fruit popsicles in an airtight container or freezer bag, and freeze them for one or two hours, or until they're solid. For best results, use a banana that's slightly unripe or just turning ripe. Your bites will eventually turn out mushy if your fruit, especially the banana, is too ripe. Place the coconut oil and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then repeat until the chocolate is completely melted. If you prefer to use a stovetop, heat the chocolate and oil over low heat and stir constantly. Start melting the chocolate when the fruit becomes solid. Remove the chocolate from heat once it's melted. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper, so you'll have somewhere to put your chocolate-dipped popsicles. Dip one side of each fruit stack into the melted chocolate, then let the excess drip. If you're using chopped nuts or shredded coconut, immediately dip the chocolate-covered fruit popsicle into a bowl of the nut topping. After dipping, place each popsicle onto the parchment paper and let them rest until the chocolate hardens. After the chocolate is completely hard, transfer the bites into an airtight container or freezer bag. Place them in the freezer overnight, and store them there until you're ready to serve. If you pack a lunch with them or want to serve them at an outing, it's a good idea to transport them with an ice pack to prevent a melted chocolate mess.
Summary:
Assemble the fruit onto popsicle sticks. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil. Dip the fruit popsicles in the chocolate. Freeze your banana split bites overnight.
