By organizing your gold before your visit, you will save the gold dealer time.  Since time is money, the gold dealer will be more likely to pay you more if you don't waste his time.  Begin by removing as many of your items in your collection that are imitation gold.  The best way to start this process is with a strong magnet. Anything that sticks to the magnet is very, very likely not solid gold.  If anything besides the clasps stick, it's probably best to leave those items at home. Use a magnifier to check the little labels on the gold for "10k," 14k," and so on. This number refers to the karat, which tells the percentage of the gold piece that is pure gold. The higher the number (up to 24k), the purer the gold. Separate the jewelry by karat, and then place the jewelry into separate Ziploc bags or containers. It is best to measure in grams, though many gold buyers will use a special weight system called a Troy ounce, so don't be surprised or put off. If you do not have a scale, you may be able to use one at your local post office. Now that your items have been sorted and weighed, it is time to get quotes. You should get at least three quotes. Start off with phone quotes.  Any place that won't give you a phone quote, if you're able to provide an adequate description of what you have, is probably hiding their prices because their payouts are terrible.  If a place does give you a phone quote, ask them if there are fees they are not disclosing over the phone (many times there are). While you are getting quotes, make sure and get a quote from a refinery. If you want the most money, get a quote from a refinery that is open to the public. Before you go to the place that gave you the best phone quote, check them out on yelp.com and bbb.org.  In the past few years many "cash for gold" shops have popped up out of nowhere. Take the steps we have covered here to protect yourself from being ripped off by some unscrupulous gold buyer, and to ensure you are getting a fair deal.

One-sentence summary -- Before you visit a gold dealer you want to organize your gold. Sort the gold. Go measure the weight for each type of gold you have. Get quotes from the buyers. Do your research.

Q: You may want to get a special agenda book or a planner for this purpose, but in a pinch, a small notebook or the Notes feature on your phone can work. Check this before you leave school every day so that you bring everything you need home with you. If you’re not sure what problem sets you’re supposed to do, or you left your worksheet in the cafeteria, then you’ll waste valuable time trying to figure out what you’re supposed to do. No, you won't be using it unfairly in exams: a cheat sheet is a piece of paper with your most important notes on it. You'll want to record key ideas, theorems, and formulas on it, as well as any notes or diagrams you find particularly helpful. Make a new cheat sheet for every new unit, and update it at the end of class (or soon after) if you've learned new things that day.  You might want to include sample problems with the solution and steps needed to get there. Don't write down too many examples, though--the beauty of a cheat sheet is in its brevity. Make sure your cheat sheet fits you. You probably have some areas of math that come really easily to you. Conversely, you probably have some that are more difficult. Structure your cheat sheet around them! You might want to emphasize a subject you need to focus on (like multiplying fractions) or a studying strategy (like remembering to check your work). This will make it easier to find your assignments and will help make sure that you hand them in looking good rather than crumpled up. Also, it will keep you from getting distracted by the mess when you should be studying instead.  Clean out your locker on a specific day every week. If you organize it regularly, the mess won't have a chance to build up. Some people find it helpful to color-code their supplies (a blue folder, notebook, and textbook cover for math; a green folder, notebook, and textbook cover for science…)--experiment until you find a system that makes it easy for you to remember important things! Choose a classmate you respect for their conscientiousness, and check-in with them before you leave school. If you both agree on what you think the homework is, there’s a good chance you’re both right.
A: Write down a list of assignments you have immediately so you don't forget. Make a cheat sheet. Keep your folder, backpack, and locker tidy. Pick a study buddy.

Article: Tell your doctor that you have decided that you want to get off Adderall and why. Then work with your doctor to come up with a weaning plan that will suit your individual needs. For example, if your  dependency is significant, then your weaning plan may be drawn out and your doctor may recommend therapy or an outpatient treatment program.  Dependency is influenced by many factors, including the method of use (snorting, injecting, or swallowing a pill); length of time using the drug; amount taken each dose; family history of substance abuse; and mental health status.  Your doctor can also recommend support groups, like Narcotics Anonymous (NA), where you may be able to find the support to help you stick to your weaning plan. These groups can also educate your friends and family members on how to provide you with the best support. Your doctor may temporarily prescribe you antidepressants, or anti-anxiety or mood-stabilizing agents while you go through withdrawal. You may also need to temporarily use a sleep aid.  It is essential that you work with your doctor to get off Adderall — do not attempt to adjust your dosage on your own. Though the experience of withdrawal will be different for everyone, usually the first week is when you will experience the most severe symptoms. As time goes on, the symptoms should lessen. The more dependent you are on Adderall, the more powerful and longer withdrawal may be. Symptoms may include the following:  Insomnia Change in appetite Fatigue Irritability Depression Mood swings Anxiety Tremors Headache Drug cravings Trouble concentrating Lack of motivation Muscle aches Seizures (see a doctor immediately) Suicidal thoughts (contact your doctor immediately) Depending on the size of your dose and how long it takes to leave your blood stream, you may begin experiencing withdrawal symptoms between about six and 36 hours. You will likely experience fatigue, depression, and anxiety. The first week will likely be the hardest, as withdrawal symptoms are often the most intense during this time. You may experience vivid nightmares, irritability, and headaches in addition to fatigue, depression, and anxiety.    Try to stay distracted and busy during this time. Attend support groups, meetings, counseling sessions and family therapy if you are not in an inpatient facility. Take any medications prescribed by your doctor exactly as instructed. Make sure you are eating well, getting enough sleep, and exercising to manage symptoms. Depending on your level of dependence, you may begin to feel normal as early as the second week of being off Adderall. You may experience an increase in appetite (as Adderall suppresses hunger), difficulty concentrating, and weight gain. Note that the weight gain is usually temporary, due to a combination of feeling fatigued and a return of your appetite. Your appetite should return to normal soon, and if you begin exercising, you should lose the extra weight.
