If you want to stay home but avoid a trip to the doctor, you have to choose a sickness that's not too severe. You'll have to feign an illness that can only be cured by staying at home and avoiding any hard work, (like going to school)!   A stomach virus is a good choice because it leaves you unable to go to class but isn't necessarily severe enough to call for medical attention. The most awful symptoms of a stomach virus include diarrhea, vomiting and cramps.  A fever also works because it makes a good excuse to stay home but usually just requires a little rest and relaxation. Fever signs and symptoms might include sweating, shivering, headache, muscle aches, loss of appetite, dehydration and general weakness. People don't generally get sick all of a sudden, so you'll have to begin feeling bad the day before you want to stay home and let your guardians know about it. Tell your guardians that you're not feeling your best. You can do this by saying some key phrases like:  "My head hurts.” "I ate something funny at lunch today." "A lot of my classmates have been out sick lately, I hope I didn't catch anything!" If you want to stay home without going to the doctor, you have to convey that you're sick but not sick enough to need medical care.  Avoid suddenly showing all of your symptoms at once. Pretending to vomit may make your guardians concerned enough to bring you to the doctor, so it's best to stick to feigning the other two symptoms.   Avoid showing only the symptoms that you know your guardians usually treat with medication, like a headache.

For a smoky, black tea, look for Lapsang Souchong. If you want a strong, malty flavor, buy Assam. If you plan on drinking tea with milk or sugar, consider using a breakfast or everyday blend. Look for flavored black teas, such as Earl Grey, Lady Grey, or masala chai to include a floral, citrus, or spicy taste. Green tea has less caffeine than black tea and has a more delicate flavor. If you prefer to drink tea without milk or sweetener, try a green tea so you can detect its subtle flavor. If you're interested in green tea, learn how to make matcha. Matcha is stone-ground green tea that's traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies. White tea is the least oxidized and contains very little caffeine. Choose this tea if you like a smooth tea that's easy to drink without adding sweeteners or flavors. Because it's so minimally processed, you can usually only buy white tea as loose leaf instead of in bags. If you're watching your caffeine or just want to try a delicate tasting tea, pick a few herbal teas to try. Classic peppermint tea is refreshing hot or cold and chamomile tea is known for its soothing quality. Rooibos is another popular herbal tea that's often blended with dried fruit or vanilla. If you'd like to use high-quality tea leaves that you can steep multiple times, use loose leaf tea. These are uncut and dried when you buy them, although they'll unwrap and expand as they steep. For a convenient way to make tea, buy tea that's been cut and portioned into bags. Unfortunately, you can only steep these once. For high-quality tea bags, choose pyramid style bags that allow the tea to expand as it steeps. If you can't find these, look for round tea bags that are filled with finely-cut tea.

A lot of the time we can get so caught up in working to improve the globe as a whole that we forget there are lots of things that we can do every day at home that have a positive impact too. One of the best things you can do easily and every day is to treat others how you want to be treated. Do something nice for someone as often as you can. This can be small things like making someone a birthday present, or big things like driving someone around until they get their car fixed. When we work together, everything runs more smoothly and we're better able to further invest those gains in benefiting the rest of the globe. Set a good example for your friends and family members, and educate them on the issues so that they can make good decisions too. Help them to understand why these things are important, so that they're also motivated to change their lives. By changing a few minds you can double, triple, or even more greatly increase your positive impact on the world. Almost any job that you get can have a positive impact on your community. You'll be providing a service to people who want it and adding to the economy in your immediate area, improving the lot of everyone around you. It will also give you money that you can use to donate to charity or fund small business loans! When we're surrounded by people who are negative and mean, it makes us sad and pessimistic, making it much harder to get through the other difficulties in life. Let your attitude show everyone that a smile and hopeful attitude can really improve the day of everyone around you. By finding the upsides in tough situations and working hard to fix problems, you can positively impact the people you come into contact with. We have lots of opportunities to be nice and helpful to other people every day. Many times we don't take the opportunity because we think we're too busy or someone else will help. If you want to make the world around you better, just do the right thing and help, instead of thinking that it's someone else's problem.  For example, if someone is carrying groceries to their car and they drop a bag, help them by picking up the groceries and loading them back into the bag. The simple things like that are very much appreciated by anyone!
