Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be a legal resident for one year. Establish residency differently if you are a dependent. Show your proof of residency to the registrar at the university you are applying to.

Answer: If you are an adult, you must live in Texas for a full year, 12 months consecutively, to be counted as a Texas resident in the eyes of universities. In order to establish the start of this year, get utility bills in your name, just as you would to get your driver's license or ID from the state of Texas. This will prove that you have established a domicile in Texas on that date. If you have lived in Texas for longer than a year then you are already a resident in the eyes of the university system of Texas. Dependents, meaning someone who is still financially supported by their parents or guardians, can prove residency in ways other than a year of living and working in Texas. The ways to prove the residency of a dependent include:  Graduate from a Texas high school in the year before you intend to attend a Texas university. You need to have been enrolled in that school for the three years prior to graduation for your graduation to establish residency. Be claimed on your parent's income tax as a dependent, if they themselves are residents of Texas. This means that they need to have been working in Texas for the year before you intend to begin college. Conversely, be sure you are not claimed as a dependent if they live outside the state of Texas and you reside within. Follow that institutions instructions for proving your residency in a timely manner, in other words before your school year begins. Your residency status has a huge impact on the amount of tuition that you are required to pay to go to college, so you don't want any unforeseen problems arising at the last moment.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Recognize the warning signs so you can take action. Talk to your doctor about taking an antidepressant. Create a routine to help you meet your self care needs. Sit in the sunlight to help improve your mood naturally. Try to exercise for at least 10 minutes, even if it's walking in your home. Reach out to others instead of withdrawing from everyone. Do things you enjoy, even if you don't feel like it. Talk to your loved ones about your feelings.

Answer: If you know the signs of a depressive episode, you may be able to address your needs early to help you avoid going into a deep depression. Keep track of what's going on in your life and how you feel so you can recognize your personal triggers. Then, watch for the warning signs so you can get help at the first sign of depression. Common warning signs for a depressive episode include:  Withdrawing from friends and family Changes in your eating habits Craving foods Having headaches Feeling tired and needing more sleep Feeling like you don't care about anything Since bipolar disorder is a biological disorder, it's important to take an antidepressant to help balance the chemicals in your brain. This can help relieve your depression. Ask your doctor about an antidepressant that's formulated for people with bipolar disorder. Typically, you'll need to be on a mood stabilizer before you can start taking an antidepressant.   After you start taking your medication, you'll need to work closely with your doctor because some antidepressants can trigger a manic episode in people with bipolar disorder.  Side effects of antidepressants include insomnia, anxiety, nausea, restlessness, dizziness, decreased sex drive, weight gain, tremors, sweating, sleepiness, fatigue, dry mouth, diarrhea, constipation, and head aches. You may also experience withdrawal symptoms if you want to stop taking them. When you're depressed, it's really hard to take care of yourself. However, good personal care may help you recover sooner. Make sure you meet your needs by developing a routine for brushing your teeth, bathing, eating healthy meals, taking your medications, and doing necessary cleaning tasks. Additionally, try to do something nice for yourself every day. Don't be afraid to ask for help with your self care tasks. For instance, it's okay to ask a loved one to bring you a healthy meal or help you do a load of laundry. Sunlight can trigger serotonin production in your brain, which helps you feel happier. Go outside and find a comfortable place to sit. Then, relax in the sun for at least 15 minutes. This may help you feel better. If you're outside longer than 15 minutes, apply an SPF 30 sunscreen to protect yourself. To make things easier, use a sunscreen spray on your exposed areas. Your depression can make it hard to do anything, especially exercise. However, being active can help improve your mood so you can start to feel better. Do your best to exercise at least 10 minutes a day. If you can, exercise for 30 minutes daily, even if it's in 10 minute blocks.  If you don't feel like you can do it, try to just walk around your living room for a few minutes. When you get a little more energy, go outside for a nature walk, go to the gym, or follow along to an exercise video. Just do your best. While depression makes you want to withdraw, doing so won't help you feel any better. On the other hand, spending time with people you care about can help improve your mood. Invite friends or family to your home to spend time with you. Additionally, try to go out with your friends as often as you can manage it.  Set a goal to go out at least once a week. Ask your friends to come over to chat, play games, or watch movies. As part of your depression, you are probably low in energy and may have lost interest in the things you normally enjoy. While you might not feel like doing them, engaging in your favorite activities can help you feel better. Make plans with loved ones to do things that you enjoy so that you'll be more likely to follow through. Try to do something fun every day.  Look for groups on Meetup or Facebook that share your interests, then sign up for their events. This will give you an incentive to go. Sign up and pay for workshops so that you feel obligated to keep up with your interests. Be honest about what you're going through, and ask them for help when you need it. Remind them that your depression is rooted in your biological makeup, so it's difficult to control. Additionally, tell them what kind of support you need. You might say, “I'm feeling really depressed, so I need help getting dinner,” or “I wish I didn't feel this way, but I know it's just the way my brain is made. I doubt I'll be up for going out tomorrow, but I'd love it if you would watch a movie with me at home.”


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Rent or buy a beginner’s wakeboard. Get a pair of wakeboarding boots. Talk to the boat driver. Designate someone to be the spotter. Decide which foot you want to face forward. Put on a life jacket before you get in the water. Use a short rope during your first few tows.

Answer:
Look for a longer wakeboard; longer wakeboards are easier to control and their landings are softer than a shorter board. The size of the board will also depend on your weight. The more you weigh, the longer your wakeboard should be. Get a board with a continuous rocker for a smoother, easier ride. You’ll know it has a continuous rocker if when you’re looking at it from the side it’s in the shape of one continuous curve from tip to tail. Wakeboarding boots, also known as bindings, go on your feet and hook onto your wakeboard so you’re held in place during your ride. Look for a stiffer, less flexible pair of boots for when you’re just starting out. It will be easier to balance and steer the board if your ankles are tightly locked into place. Your boots will screw into the tiny holes built into your wakeboard. Not all bindings attach to a board the same way, so check the instructions that came with your boots before you attempt to attach them to your board. Make sure they understand that you’re a beginner and ask them to take it slow with you. A boat driver should never speed with a beginner wakeboarder. Because you’ll likely fall several times during your first few go’s, remind the driver to slow down before turning around to come retrieve you so you don’t get caught in any choppy waves. The spotter is someone on the boat (other than the driver) that keeps an eye on things while you’re wakeboarding. The spotter should alert the driver whenever there’s nearby boats or objects or if they see you fall down during your tow. If you’re regular or goofy footed in other board sports like snowboarding and surfing, you’ll probably be the same in wakeboarding. If you’re not sure, think about which foot you use to kick a ball with and place that foot in the back. You want your non-dominant foot to face forward.  If you’re regular footed, your left foot faces forward on the board. If you’re goofy footed, your right foot faces forward on the board. A life jacket will help you stay afloat while you’re waiting to get towed, and it can protect you from serious injury while you’re wakeboarding. A shorter rope will position you in the narrower part of the wake, making it easier to stand on your board. Use a rope that’s between 30-50 feet (9-15 meters) long.
