You can make something for a holiday, special occasion, anniversary, or just because. You don’t have to bring him something expensive or extravagant, and it doesn’t have to be often. It can be a small and simple gesture that shows you like him. What you make him might be something sentimental, or something that you think he would be interested in. Give it to him whenever you see him during the day. If he offers you something he made, accept it and be sure to say a heartfelt thank you.  Make him a scrapbook of your relationship if you’ve been together for a while. Paint a picture. It can be of something to do with his favorite sport team or movie. Go to any events of his, and don’t be afraid to ask for him to attend your events. It is kind to support each other in whatever you and your boyfriend enjoys. If he plays a sport at school, attend his games and cheer him on. You can also show up to events if he’s a part of a team or club, like the debate or academic bowl team. Simply showing up will remind him how much you like him.  Say yes if he asks to attend any of your events. If you ask him to attend, and he says that he can’t, don’t be upset. Tell him that it’s okay, and he can attend another one. If he’s not part of a team, you can cheer him on while he’s playing a sport during gym class. Compliment and support his work if he’s into art, like film, drawing, or painting. A well known cliché is that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Most boys will appreciate the thought if you bring him a dessert for his lunch, or bake him his favorite treat. Ask him what his favorite dessert his and make sure he is not allergic to what you bring him. Give it to him for a snack during the day, to eat with his lunch, or to take home.  Don’t be shy if he asks what your favorite dessert or food is. Tell him if he asks. A relationship works both ways. It is not only your job to make him food, or do favors for him. If he makes something you are allergic to, tell him that you appreciate the thought, but you can’t eat it. Offer for him to share it with his friends instead. Baking cookies and brownies is simple and won’t be difficult to take with you to school. A cake is great, but it may be hard to transport. Ask your parents for help if you aren’t sure how to bake or make food. It is always nice to help a person, and you should help your boyfriend when he is in need. He should also be thoughtful enough to help you. It is especially thoughtful to help him with something when he’s not expecting it. What you decide to help him with depends on the situation and who he is. It may be as simple as giving him an extra pencil when he’s going to take a test.  Ask for help if you need it. Helping each other is a healthy part of any relationship. If you see that he’s struggling to carry his books, offer to hold one or two for him. Offer gently to help him with a project if he’s worried about completing it or doing it. Don’t help him cheat, but offering to take some stress off of him would be appreciated. Help him study for a test, or quiz him before an exam.

Summary: Make him something. Attend each other’s games or events. Bring him food and accept what he offers. Help each other with something.


Since the iTunes app is no longer a part of macOS as of the release of Catalina, Mac users will find Apple Music on the Launchpad and in the Applications folder. If you're using Windows or an older version of macOS, iTunes should be on the Dock (Mac) or in the Start menu (Windows). Use the USB cable that came with your phone or tablet or one that is compatible. Once your iPhone or iPad is detected, a button that looks like a smartphone will appear near the top-left corner of the app. This is called the "device icon."  iPhones and iPads can only be synced to one computer at a time. If you've already synced this phone or tablet to a different computer, you'll be prompted to erase its contents. To erase the contents and sync the phone or tablet with this computer, click Erase and Sync when prompted. It's the button that looks like a smartphone at the top-left corner of the app. If you don't see this button, make sure your iPhone or iPad's screen is unlocked. If there's a message on the phone or tablet asking you to trust the computer, follow the on-screen instructions to do so. Your syncing options appear in the left panel under "Settings." You'll need to adjust each media type's settings (e.g., Music, Podcasts, etc.) separately. For example, if you selected Music, check the box next to "Sync Music" at the top of the right panel, then choose which music to sync.  To sync music, click Music in the left panel, then check the box next to "Sync Music" at the top of the right panel.

Once selected, just check the box at the top for "Sync <media type>" and choose your preferences. It's at the bottom-right corner of the app. This should begin syncing the selected content to your phone or tablet immediately. If the sync does not begin, click Sync right beside it.
