It’s not clear whether stress can cause acne, but it can make your acne worse if you already have it! If you’re stressing out, do activities that help you relax and unwind. This may help calm your skin and make your breakouts less severe. Try activities such as:  Yoga Meditation Going for walks outside Listening to peaceful music Working on hobbies or creative projects Spending time with family, friends, or pets Although the connection between sleep and acne is not entirely clear, most doctors agree that lack of sleep can stress you out and make it harder for your body to fight infections. This will make your acne worse and is bad for your skin overall. Commit to getting about 8 hours of sleep a night to give your skin a healthy boost.  If you’re a teen, try to get 8-10 hours of sleep each night. Commit to going to bed and waking up at the same time each night so that you get into a healthy sleep routine. If you have trouble sleeping, try establishing a relaxing bedtime ritual, like meditating, reading, or taking a warm shower before bed. Turn off any bright screens at least an hour before bedtime, since the light can make it harder for your brain to get into sleep mode. Some people notice that they have more breakouts after working out. Don’t let this stop you from getting the health benefits of exercise, though! Instead, protect yourself by showering and washing your face with a gentle cleanser after every workout. This will help prevent sweat, oils, and dirt from clogging your pores and irritating your skin.  While you’re exercising, gently pat away sweat with a clean, dry towel. Don’t rub away sweat, since this could irritate your skin. Even if you can’t shower right away, change into clean, dry workout clothes immediately after your workout. This will help prevent breakouts on your body. Put on clean clothes before your workout, too, since dirty clothes can trap bacteria and other skin irritants. If you’re using a gym, wipe down any shared equipment before you use it with a disinfectant wipe. This will help get rid of oils and bacteria left behind by other people that could aggravate your skin and cause breakouts.

After you've submitted your resignation, you may be tempted to cruise through your last couple of weeks doing as little as possible. However, slacking off because you already have "one foot out the door" will harm your professional reputation.  Finish any ongoing projects you have, or draft status reports so whoever takes over from you will know what's going on. Organize all your files and documents, if applicable, so they are easily accessible after you're gone. Let your coworkers know about your resignation, and ask them what they need from you to ensure a smooth transition after you've left. Let them know how to find any documents or information on your work projects.  If your manager has told you not to alert your coworkers of your resignation until later, follow their instructions. If you have direct contact with clients or customers, explain to them that you are leaving. If you know who is taking over their file when you leave, take the opportunity to introduce them to the person who will be taking care of them. If someone new is being hired to replace you, offer to assist with their training. You may be asked to complete an exit interview. During this interview you'll be asked for constructive feedback on your experience working for the company. Take this opportunity seriously and use it to help your manager and coworkers improve their work experiences. Be honest and constructive in your exit interview, but stick to the facts and avoid getting emotional or making accusations. Your goal is to leave your employer in a better position, not to trash them on the way out the door. If you already have another position lined up, a reference letter may be the last thing on your mind. However, getting a letter now means you won't potentially have to track down your manager later. If you worked closely with another manager or a coworker, you might ask them for reference letters as well. On your last day, make sure your manager or supervisor can get in touch with you if they need anything. You might also want to leave contact information with any coworkers with whom you want to stay in touch. If you have a LinkedIn account, send invitations to managers and coworkers to connect there.

One-sentence summary -- Maintain good work ethic through your last day. Prepare your coworkers for your departure. Provide feedback if requested. Get a written reference letter from your direct supervisor. Leave up-to-date contact information with your supervisor.


The thumb of your dominant hand needs to rest on the point of contact between the bow and the frog, which is the device at the end of the bow hairs where they can be tightened. Your thumb will end up being wedged between the bow hairs and the bow stick, somewhere between the frog itself and the leather pad next to it.  The bow should be in a horizontal position. Hold it straight across with your non-dominant hand placed at the middle or the far end as you position your dominant hand correctly. Release the bow from your non-dominant hand once you set your bow hold. Note that the portion of the bow used for playing will face toward your non-dominant side. For right-handed cellists, this will be the left; for left-handed cellists, this will be the right. Relax your hand and turn the wrist slightly to the left, in toward your body. If you are left-handed and holding the bow with a dominant left hand, turn the wrist slightly to the right. The remaining fingers should curve gently over the top of the bow stick. The pinky finger should not be allowed to rest on top of the bow stick, as it might with a bow stick for a viola or violin. Instead, the pinky should also extend downward with the other three fingers.  While it is not essential, the middle finger usually lies just opposed to the thumb from the opposite side of the stick. The ring finger is usually on the side of the frog, and the first joint of your pointer finger will usually end up on the leather pad or metal winding ahead of the frog.  Even though the exact placement of your fingers can vary, you should not allow your thumb to collapse back as you play. It needs to remain gently bent in a normal direction. Most of your leverage will come from your thumb, pinky, and ring finger as you play. Do not press the bow to the strings of the cello. Lightly lay the bow on the strings as you hold it and as you play. Ultimately, as you play, you need to have a loose, relaxed grip that is just firm enough to control the direction of the bow.
