This method is for those stubborn clogs and therefore requires more materials. You will need:  A bucket Screwdriver or wrench Plumber’s snake (also called a drain snake). If you do not have a plumber’s snake, you can improvise using a straightened wire hanger. Simply take a regular wire coat hanger and straighten it as much as possible, then bend one end over to create a hook. You want to position the bucket underneath the P-trap, that is, the curved part of pipe that leads directly from the drain. Some are held together with screws, in which case you need a screwdriver, while others have slip nuts on both ends of the pipe, in which case you will need a pair of channel locks (a type of wrench). Do this step slowly and make sure the bucket is still positioned directly beneath you. Standing water as well as the small pipes inside of the P-trap may spill out and you want the bucket to catch them. Whether the P-trap is made with screws or slip nuts, in both cases you will turn in a counterclockwise fashion to loosen the parts. When they are well loosened, you can use your fingers to pull them off completely. Be sure to keep the screws or nuts close by as you’ll need them when putting the P-trap back in place! First check the P-trap. If you can see the blockage, use your fingers, coat hanger, or the plumber’s snake to force it out.  Build up typically occurs in the P-trap since the curve of the pipe is designed to stop fluids from coming back up into the sink.  If there is no visible clog, it is possible that the clog is in the pipe that goes into your wall. In this case, you need a plumber’s snake and it is not recommended that you substitute the wire hanger. Insert the plumber’s snake into the opening of the pipe that leads into the wall until it meets resistance (which is likely the blockage). Then tighten the nut at the base of the snake and begin twisting the snake. You can also use an in and out motion, similar to plunging, with the snake in order to dislodge the clog. Once you no longer feel any resistance at the other end, pull out the snake. Use either the screwdriver or wrench and turn the screws or nuts clockwise to tighten them. However, do not tighten them too much or you could crack the plastic pipe. Make sure you have replaced the screws or bolts tightly so that water doesn’t leak. The water should drain at its normal speed if the clog has been effectively removed.

summary: Get your materials ready. Place the bucket underneath your sink. Check to see what is holding your P-trap together. Remove the P-trap. Find the clog. Reattach the P-trap. Turn on the sink.

Avoid beating around the bush, seeming coy or making a joke about it. All you need to do is get to the point. Guys are taught to get to the point early on, without resort to wiles and in the twenty-first century, it's somewhat odd that some gals feel they still have to play the game of coyness. So you can do this too, it's not unreasonable to get to the point. You don't need to be blunt but you do need to be clear, and by being casual, you can achieve a smooth request.  Say something casual on the lines of "Hey, can I have your number to text you sometimes?" Simple. Then say thanks, and walk away. At this point, he'll anticipate your text, and you'll have his number. You don't need to explain the request but if you want to, keep it simple, such as "it'd be super helpful if I could reach you by text"; or "I'd just like to be able to reach you easily to ask you to some of the dorm parties we'll be throwing soon". If he asks you why you want his number, keep it simple. For example, say something like "I'd like to keep in contact with you, I think you're really cool" or "You give me good advice" or "You're good fun" . If it is really, really hard for you to be open about getting his number, use studies or work or something to get the number. Ask if you can review test subjects with him and he will most likely give you his number.  Or, approach the guy casually and show him your phone. Show him your contacts and then say: I really want to beat my friend and see who has the most contacts by the end of the day so.. can I get your number? (Don't sound pushy or greedy or excited, act as if you're telling this to your parents.) The problem with using any ruse is that this is all he'll probably expect you to text about, unless he has made it openly clear he fancies you. If you start texting constantly about anything unrelated, he's likely to be unimpressed.

summary: Ask the guy for his phone number. Be casual in asking. Be a chicken.

Writing, time management, effective communication, problem-solving, decision-making, and critical thinking skills are necessary for paralegals. These skills will serve you well in the profession, so it would be useful to develop them to the best of your ability in order to be the most desirable job candidate you can be.  Some colleges, universities, or other schools where paralegal programs are offered may also offer courses that help with the development of these kinds of professional skills. Computer skills play an important role as well, from familiarity with office suites to web browsers and email applications. Many employers prefer candidates who have had at least one year of experience working in a legal environment. Find a job or internship at a law office doing administrative tasks like filing or answering telephones, or working as an assistant to other paralegals. These kinds of jobs will not only look good on your résumé, they will also familiarize you with the legal environment and allow you to gain hands-on training from professionals in the field. Though paralegal certification is not required by all employers, it will give you an advantage over competing candidates. If you have already graduated with a bachelor's or associate degree in an unrelated field, it might be a good idea for you to become a certified paralegal. The National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA) offers certification.  Many other certification programs are available that are taught by practicing attorneys and give you the hands-on skills that you can apply directly to your job working as a paralegal. These programs generally last between 6-12 months. Consider taking a certified paralegal examination. This may or may not be part of your certification program. The NALA is the main organization that offers these exams. Your resume should include a sentence-long career objective passage that explains the type of job you are seeking, including your desired specialization, unless you are interested in general practice. Be sure to include your education and experience as well, followed by a passage that lists your skills, such as computer skills—including industry-specific software applications. Once you have achieved the proper education and work experience, you can start applying to jobs. Check job listings in your area, and apply to various law firms and law offices. Send your résumé, cover letter, and any other information that the potential employer requests. Other positions may be available outside law firms, such as in corporations, real estate firms and title offices, public defense offices, non-government organizations (NGOs), and more. The paralegal profession is very competitive, so apply to as many jobs as possible and be prepared to have many different interviews before landing a job. Paralegals can take additional courses or attend seminars in order to advance their careers. Sign up for continuing legal education (CLE) courses in order to stay up-to-date with the ever-changing field of law.
summary: Develop useful general skills. Get relevant work experience. Get certified. Design an impressive paralegal resume. Look for jobs. Continue your education.
