Summarize the following:
This line should follow the natural line of your cheek. You want the line to be straight, starting at the bottom of your sideburn (point A) and ending at the edge of your mustache (point B). Identify specific points for A and B; don't generalize. If you’re worried you can’t create clean lines just by visualizing them, pick up a white pencil to draw yourself a guideline on each cheek. You can use a white eyeliner pencil, or hop online and order a barber’s pencil. For a clean and defined line, don’t use a guard for this. Carefully trim the hair above the visualized (or drawn) cheek line. Shave downward, with the grain of your hair, starting at the sideburn (point A) and working your way down your face right next to your mustache (point B). If you want a very defined and angular look, don’t worry about rounding off the transition points at your sideburn and mustache. For a softer, more natural line, round off the edges at the point where the beard meets your sideburn, and again at the point where it meets the edge of your mustache. Always do one cheek first, and then refer back to it as you’re working on the other cheek to make sure things are even. Avoid going back and forth from cheek to cheek, which can result in you trimming off too much of your beard. Make the sides as even as you can, but don’t stress over absolute perfection. If you want to keep your lines defined and sharp, you are probably going to have to do routine maintenance and clean up every other day. If your hair grows very fast, you may even need to do this daily.

summary: Visualize a straight line from your sideburn to your mustache. Draw a straight line from point to point with a white pencil (optional). Trim the hair above one cheek line with a trimmer or clippers. Round off the transition points if desired. Repeat on your other cheek. Trim your cheek lines every 1-2 days for the cleanest results.

If it hasn't been made clear already, you cannot successfully prepare for the ACT the night (or even week) before. If you have been preparing long and hard, resist the urge to do a final cram the night before.  You're more likely to fry your brain and hurt your results on test day.  Trust your preparation over the long term. Yes, the test is important for your future, but try not to obsess over it.  Stimulate your mind and body to keep both sharp for test day and to take a breather from test preparation.  Exercise is good for the body and mind, and thus a beneficial distraction.  It will help keep you energized as your approach test day. It is not a waste of brainpower to think about or work on non-ACT ideas or projects.  Indeed, they will help keep your mind stimulated and ready for action on test day. Good nutrition and sufficient sleep during preparation and leading up to test day will benefit you far more than sacrificing one or both in the name of a little more study time. Know where you need to be, when you need to be there,  and what you need to bring (ID, pencils, approved calculator, etc.) well beforehand. For more detailed information on preparation just before test day and strategies for test day itself, see How to Ace the ACT.

summary: Don't try to cram. Keep yourself occupied. Eat and sleep. Be ready to roll on test day.


Summarize the following:
If you want to look like you’re rich, avoid dressing in messy clothes. Look for clothes with more structured tailoring, like button-down shirts or nice trousers. For a more feminine look, try wearing dresses with a nipped-in waist or a slim-fitting skirt and a blouse or sweater. You can look rich even when you’re dressing casually by choosing well-fitting jeans in a dark denim. Darker jeans are sleeker and look more expensive. Clothes often look more expensive in neutral colors like camel, off-white, black, beige, and blush pink. Mix and match these neutral tones to create a luxurious look, regardless of what you paid for the pieces. You don’t have to wear leather loafers to class every day, but you won’t look rich if you’re wearing your old gym shoes. Buy a good pair of shoes to make your outfits look their best. Look for stylish sneakers, boat shoes, or a nice pair of flats in a versatile neutral color. Make sure your shoes look good for as long as possible by keeping them clean. Don’t wear your good shoes when you’re playing sports or when you’ll be getting messy, and wipe any dirt off of them as soon as possible to avoid staining. Wear nice clothes if you have to give a presentation at school or you’re attending a special assembly. Opt for a pretty dress, a button-down shirt with a nice pair of slacks or a skirt, or a sports coat with a pair of khakis. Girls don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to have a nice bag. Look for a leather (or faux leather) purse in a versatile color like beige or black. Make sure it's free of any logos, as this will cheapen the look of the bag. The stitching and the hardware (snaps, zippers, and rings) should seem sturdy, since expensive bags are usually built to last. Opt for a backpack in a neutral color if you have to carry one. If you have to carry your books to school in a backpack, look for one made from leather or canvas in a color like white, tan, black, or blue. A simple, neutral backpack will coordinate with most of your outfits and will make you look more polished. Rich people tend to prefer simple, polished accessories. Wear a nice-looking watch, a chain bracelet, or a simple pendant necklace. Remember, less is more when it comes to accessorizing. If you pile on everything you have, you’ll look like you’re trying too hard. With the one-third rule, you can fill your closet with well-made, expensive clothes without spending more money than you usually do. Figure out about how much you usually spend on clothes. Then, the next time you’re shopping, buy 1/3 as many pieces of clothing as you would normally buy, but spend 3x more on each piece. This way, you’ll have nice clothes that will last much longer. Even if you only get to shop for clothes on your birthday, following the one-third rule can help you build a richer wardrobe over time. Having your clothes tailored to fit you is relatively inexpensive, but it can make a huge difference in the look of your outfit. A tailor will be able to adjust your clothes to be perfect for your body. They can hem pants to hit you at the perfect length or take in your shirts and jackets to fit you perfectly in the waist. Ask your parents or look online to find a tailor, then visit them whenever you find a special piece that doesn’t fit quite right.
summary: Wear clothes with clean, polished lines in classic styles. Wear dark denim. Pair neutral colors together. Invest in a good pair of shoes. Dress up for special occasions. Carry a nice bag. Choose polished accessories. Follow the one-third rule. Get your clothes tailored.
