Problem: Article: You should always say what you believe in, be willing to take risks, and have the ability to admit your mistake without being worried about what other people will think. Doing this shows that you have self-confidence. This helps create an attractive personality because it shows that you're comfortable with yourself and that makes others comfortable around you. Asking questions is important when it comes to confidence. The more you know, the more comfortable you'll feel when speaking about things. Never be afraid to ask questions. Dressing appropriately and having good posture show confidence. You don't have to have the “perfect body” to be confident in it. People will be more attracted to you if you dress well, respect yourself, and carry yourself well. If you need a little boost, place post-it's around your mirror that remind you of the parts of your body that you love. Focus on these rather than the things that you're self-conscious about. While confidence is endearing, cockiness is very unappetizing. People will turn away from your personality if you're all about yourself. A great way to avoid this is to remind yourself to compliment others. Every day, find 5 people to give compliments to. They can be strangers, co-workers, or friends. Either way, this will help you stay grounded.
Summary: Have confidence in how you speak and act. Have confidence in your body. Know the difference between confidence and cockiness.

Problem: Article: You can start with dry or damp hair. This method is most recommended for those who have straight hair. If you have wavy or curly hair, make sure your hair is wet before cutting. Part your hair down the middle. Pull it back into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck, then secure it with a hair tie. Make sure that the ponytail is neat and smooth, and that all you hairs are in the elastic. Smooth your ponytail down as much as you can, then wrap another elastic around it. Depending on how long your hair is, and how short you plan on cutting it, you may need to add a third elastic below the second one. Adding elastics gives you control before and as you cut. Make a V-shape with your fore and middle fingers, then close your fingers around the ponytail. Slide your fingers down to where you want to cut the ponytail. This will give you a slightly-rounded bottom edge. If you want to cut it straighter, you will need to slide your fingers further down so that you have room to make adjustments. Use sharp, hairdressing shears for this step. Do not use regular scissors. Cut slowly and carefully, a little bit at a time. Turn around so that your back is facing the mirror, and hold another mirror up in front of you. Your hair will either have a rounded bottom edge or a slight curve. If this is not straight enough for you, proceed to the next step. Extend the part to the nape of your neck, like making pigtails. Drape the left side of your hair over your left shoulder, and the right side over your right shoulder. Keep the strands that were on the back of your head on the outer edges as much as possible. Choose a side to start with: left or right. Grab the hair from that side, then pinch it between your fore and middle fingers as you did earlier with the ponytail. Slide you fingers down the length of the hair section to where you want to cut your hair. Angle your fingers upwards slightly, so that your finger tips are pointing up towards your shoulder. This will allow you to cut the hair from the back of your head shorter; when you brush your hair out, it will be the same length. Make sure that the hair that came from the back of your head is on the outside of the section, next to your shoulder. Keep your hand and hair close against your shoulder as you cut. If you have very thick hair, you may need to split the section into smaller sections. Measure the new section against the previous one. To ensure that you are cutting your hair at the same length, it would be a good idea to measure the uncut hair against the cut hair. Take the innermost strands from both the left and right sections. Note where the cut strand ends on the uncut strand with your fingers.
Summary: Comb your hair out so that it is free of any knots or tangles. Pull your hair back into a low ponytail. Tie another elastic a few inches/centimeters below the first one. Hold the ponytail between your fingers where you want to cut it. Cut the ponytail below your fingers. Undo the ponytail and check the shape. Remove the hair tie and part your hair down the center. Pinch your hair between your fingers again. Pull your fingers downwards, angling them slightly. Cut your hair below your fingers using the same method as before. Repeat the process for the other side of your hair.

Problem: Article: Once you have chosen the best solution, put it into practice. You might do this on a limited, trial scale at first to test the results. Or, you might go all in. Keep in mind that unforeseen problems can arise at this stage, things which you did not plan on during your initial analysis and evaluation, especially if you did not structure the problem correctly. You decide to cut costs, because you were unwilling to take on debt, to divert time away from school, or to live with a roommate.

Try another solution, implement it, and review the outcome. Repeat this process until you finally solve the problem. After a month, you decide to abandon your first budget and to look for part-time work. You find a work-study job on campus. Making a new budget, you now have extra money without taking too much time away from your studies. You may have an effective solution.
