In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In your schedule, carve out time for class, homework, and studying first. Then identify pockets of time when you are free. Fill in these time slots with activities like volunteering, club meetings, local events, and hanging out with friends. Additionally, keep your weekends free by doing most of your work during the week. This way, you will be able to hang out, attend events, or go out on a date during the weekend. Some assignments may take less time to finish than usual, leaving you with some down time. Instead of taking a break, use this time to get ahead on your school work. Once you are ahead on your school work, you can make more time for friends, hanging out, and meeting guys. Plus, you will be more relaxed when you do hang out. Unless you plan on studying during lunch, make use of your lunch time to meet up with guys you may be interested in. Meet at the dining hall between classes, or go to a restaurant off campus when you aren't so busy. Your school schedule may be so busy that finding any time for extracurricular activities may seem impossible. But taking a break from school is necessary if you want to avoid burning out. Make a point to set aside a couple hours a week to plan a lunch, coffee, or movie date with a guy you may be interested in. Make up for this time by getting up early the next morning, or by working a few extra hours at the end of the next day to finish any school work. Online dating sites are an efficient, as well as effective, way to meet new people. You don't need to leave the comfort of your own home to meet new guys. Once you create your profile, the site's algorithm will find potential matches for you. You can check the site and manage your account whenever you have down time between classes or during lunch. Check out online dating sites geared toward college students, such as the following:  Date My School Campus Hook University Love Connection College Passions Student Love

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Manufacturers choose packaging that keeps bacteria out, maintaining the meat’s freshness. As soon as you remove the original packaging, you expose the meat to bacteria, increasing the potential for spoilage. The packaging must be leak-proof. Check the turkey over before buying it. Avoid any turkeys with punctured or leaky packaging. At this temperature, the bird remains completely frozen. Freezing a turkey is the best way to retain its quality and freshness until you’re ready to use it. If you don’t plan on using the turkey right away, keep it on ice. Fresh turkeys are safe to store in the freezer, including hunted ones. If the turkey isn’t already packaged, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Put it in an airtight bag and store it for up to a year. Vacuum sealed bags are the best way to keep turkeys fresh. If this isn’t an option, put the wrapped turkey into a large bag, such as a garbage bag, and push the air out before tying it up tightly. Whole turkeys last an entire year, but turkey parts tend to not last as long. Parts like wings and drumsticks stay fresh for about 9 months in their proper packaging. Ground turkey is best when used within 3 to 4 months. Technically, turkey can be stored indefinitely in the freezer. After about a year, turkey begins losing quality. Some turkeys last longer, while others take on freezer burn or odors from the freezer. These turkeys do not require thawing. When you’re ready to use them, heat them up in the oven according to the instructions on the packaging. Make sure whole pre-stuffed turkeys have been inspected and certified by your national government as safe for consumption. Proof of certification will be on the packaging.
Summary: Keep the turkey in its packaging from the store. Store uncooked turkeys in a freezer below 0 °F (−18 °C). Wrap fresh turkeys up before storing them in the freezer. Store the turkey for up to 1 year for maximum freshness. Preserve frozen pre-stuffed turkeys in the freezer before cooking.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The Buddhist teachings include the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment.  Attend a Buddhist temple and improve your mediation technique.  Think carefully about Buddhist teachings and understand how they relate to your everyday experience. Ordination within the Buddhist community is a challenging endeavor, and the vows are taken for life.  If you’ve only read a few books on Buddhism and have a vague understanding of its teachings, you should not become ordained. After learning a bit about Buddhism, dive deeper with a learned Buddhist.  In Buddhist tradition, it is important to have a teacher or guide to help you realize and understand the truths contained within Buddhist practice and law.  Your spiritual guide will likely be another monk or nun, and they must be someone who can grant permission to ordain you. Taking refuge refers to the act of formally professing before a member or members of the Buddhist clergy to place your faith in the Buddha, the Sangha (the Buddhist community), and the Dharma.  Five additional vows you must take include include commitments to remain free of lying, intoxication, stealing, inappropriate sexual behavior, and harming other living things. Going on spiritual retreats within the Buddhist community will give you a flavor of what life is like for a nun or monk.  Talk to the nuns or monks you go on the retreat with, and begin practicing celibacy.  You should also adopt the monk’s diet of vegetarianism during this time. If you travel to Asia, you might be able to partake in a part-time ordination program where you can live as a monk or nun for a few days or weeks during the year. If you are ordained outside the Buddhist community where you intend to stay, you will be taken on as a guest monk at the monastery or convent.  The monastic community will give you advice on Buddhist practice and evaluate your understanding of Buddhism.  After about two to three months, your monastery or nunnery will decide to accept you. Attain permission from the senior monk or abbot of your temple to become ordained.  After getting the official monk’s robes, you’ll need to ask for the help of your fellow monks to shave your head.  When the ceremony begins, approach the senior monk and bow three times. Hand over your official monk’s robes and recite a passage.  The passage you recite will be decided by the senior monk or abbot, and come from the sayings of the Buddha. After recitation of the passage, you will ask for the robes back in a formal way.  You might also ask for a simple monk’s bowl.  Then, make a formal request to be ordained.  The specific content of this request will be explained by the abbot before the ceremony. The abbot or senior monk will then administer the Three Refuges and Ten Precepts and give you your robes and/or bowl. After being ordained, you’ll be expected to join a monastery for at least five years.  This might be the same monastery you were ordained at, or a different one.  You might also choose to join a dharma center under the guidance of your mentor(s). When you join a monastery, you are forbidden from holding a “worldly job.”  While basic amenities like food, clothing, and shelter are provided, you will need to work to obtain additional resources for your monastery.  Many monks and nuns have the opportunity to offer their services to their dharma community in order to fulfill its needs.  Talk to your abbot or spiritual mentor about opportunities within your monastery.
Summary:
Familiarize yourself with Buddhist teachings and practice. Have a spiritual mentor. Take refuge and vows. Go on retreats. Join a monastic community. Undergo the ordination ceremony. Contribute to the religious community.
