Your bank may have a transfer or withdrawal limit on certain types of accounts.  Call the customer number on the back of your ATM card to check on restrictions. You can also search for your bank’s customer service number online. Transfers between accounts at the same bank count against the limit of 6, so avoid moving money before closing your account.

Be pleasant and keep a sincere, interested smile on your face whether listening or speaking as opposed to a bored expression. Preppy girls don't cuss; develop your college-bound level of vocabulary. Try to balance being taken seriously and being so dull that nobody know you can have fun once in a while. It helps to practice good etiquette and manners, particularly for formal situations. It's important to kind and helpful to others around you, even through simple things such as such as tutoring your little brother helping an elderly person cross the road. Not only will improve the day of the person in question, having a reputation as a sweet, friendly girl isn't bad at all when it comes to being a prep. Preppy girls are often sociable and talkative, so be quick to engage your friends in witty banter or conversation when the timing's right. It's okay for preppy girls to have boyfriends or girlfriends as well, though many are uninterested in romance or content with being single for the time being. Don't spread rumours or make mean remarks about others, as it might put people off being in your company. If you're angry at your parents for a trivial reason, don't scream or throw a tantrum - instead, smile at them and politely mention that you need some time alone to cool off. Most preppy girls are close to their families, although if for whatever reason you cannot be, don't stress. There are very few things that are true for all preppy girls as a whole. Preppy girls care about school and getting a good education. If your grades in a certain subject are lacking, get a tutor or ask the teacher about any extra credit work that you can do.   If your grades are already good, strive to improve them, even if just by a little bit. Preppy girls aren't lazy by nature and often seek the chance to get better at things than they already are. Generally, preppy girls tend to prefer sports such as soccer, cheerleading, tennis and volleyball. That being said, if you're more of a baseball girl, that's fine, too - any sport can be preppy if it's done with a good attitude and a perky smile. It's hard for many teenage girls to feel good about themselves and what they do. If you're not confident by nature, start small, like writing a list of things you like about yourself or looking in the mirror and trying your best to think positive thoughts about what you see.   Focus on looking confident first, if actually feeling it isn't coming as easily as you'd like. Walk with your back straight and your chin titled slightly upwards to give the impression of being self-assured.

summary: Talk like a prep. Be reasonable, polite and thoughtful. Be a good friend. Respect your parents and other figures of authority. Study hard and get good grades. Consider playing a sport. Work on your confidence.

The main ingredient in liquor polishing is activated carbon, though adding your carbon to a full container of vodka may cause your container to overflow. You'll also have to strain the carbon out at some point, so you'll need:  Food-safe activated carbon (3-5 cups (1,020-1,700 g) depending on the amount of liquor being polished) Container (freezer safe) Funnel Strainer/colander You'll want a container that is larger than your amount of vodka, otherwise, when you add your carbon, you might lose some vodka to overflow. Place your funnel in the container, and pour your vodka from its original vessel into the container. Impurities in alcohol, like aldehydes, amino acids, and oils are likely the culprits making your cheap vodka taste foul. Polishing alcohol is the process of soaking it for a length of time in activated carbon to remove these impurities.  Rinse your activated carbon in a colander/strainer under cold water to remove any dust that may have formed on it during the packaging and handling process. Add 1 cup (340 g) of food-safe activated carbon per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of vodka. At minimum, you should allow your vodka to soak in the activated carbon you've added for a week. For even better results, you can allow the vodka to soak for a month, though after a few months you'll reach the carbon's limit and see little change in quality.  Shake the vodka in its container for a few minutes every day to ensure the consistently filtration throughout the mixture. Keep your vodka in a cold location, like your freezer, to make the impurities in it easier for the activated carbon to absorb. A regular kitchen strainer should be sufficient to catch your activated carbon while letting the vodka drain through into a container. You may want to nest your strainer into your funnel so the vodka flows directly down the nozzle of the funnel and into a container, preventing lost liquor.
summary: Gather vodka polishing materials. Pour your vodka into your container. Add activated carbon straight to your vodka. Allow the vodka to soak for 7-30 days. Strain your carbon from your vodka.
