Summarize the following:
You may feel too stressed or too busy to start all over making new friends. However, having friends can actually reduce your stress and lend you support. It takes time and effort to make friends, but it's worth it in the long run.  Schedule time for your friends the same way you do for anything else. Make it part of your weekly routine to meet up with a friend. If you can't make a weekly hang out happen, try for a monthly hang out.  When you hang out with a friend, don't let the get together end without making future plans. Set a date to hang out again, and stick to it. If you want to make friends you're going to have to put yourself our there, and that can be intimidating. Nobody wants to be rejected, but you can't let the fear of rejection control you.  Don't treat rejection like it's the end of the world. Keeping rejection in perspective will help you overcome it. You won't like everyone you meet, and everyone you meet won't like you.  When you encounter rejection, don't let it keep you from going out. See if there is anything you can learn from the experience. If they idea of talking to a complete stranger causes you to freeze up, you may have some stranger anxiety. Talking to everyone you meet may seem like an impossible task, but if you want to get over your anxiety, you'll have to make an effort to interact.  Start with talking to people you interact with on a daily basis. For example, when you go to a coffee shop, talk with the clerk who takes your order. Ask something like, "How's your day going?" Get used to making small talk with random people you see throughout your day.  If you're in school, try talking with some of your classmates before and after class. Ask about things you're interested in and see what kind of response you get. For example, you could ask someone, "Hey, did you see that episode of [favorite TV show] last night," or "Have you ever heard of [favorite band]?" Questions about pop culture are good ways to start small talk, and could lead to good conversation. As you practice talking to people, speak with confidence and try to make eye contact. Even if it feels unnatural at first, keep doing it. You want to get used to this kind of behavior so that the next time you go out, talking to people will seem easier.

summary: Make time for making friends. Fight your fear of rejection. Talk to everyone you meet to overcome social anxiety.


Summarize the following:
Place 1 1/2 cups (270 g) of dry quinoa into a mesh strainer and rinse it for 2 minutes. Place the rinsed quinoa in a large pot and with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 3 cups (705 ml) of water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the quinoa simmer, boil lightly, for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pot from heat and let the quinoa cool completely. You'll know the quinoa is cooked when it has absorbed most of the water. Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork after it has cooled slightly. Mix together the ingredients for a light dressing in a small mixing bowl. Whisk together the following ingredients and then add salt and pepper to taste:  ½ cup (120 ml) of extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar 2 garlic cloves, pressed ½ teaspoon of dried basil ½ teaspoon of dried thyme Drain a jar of roasted red peppers and chop enough to make ⅓ cup (60 g). Place it in a large serving bowl along with the other vegetables and cheese. You'll need to slice and add ⅓ cup (134 g) of pitted kalamata olives, ⅓ cup (50 g) of crumbled feta cheese, and ¼ cup (6 g) of basil that you slice thinly. If you don't have the time to prep all of these ingredients, you can substitute a purchased salad mixture and add shredded cheese of your choice. Add your cooled quinoa to the bowl of vegetables and cheese. You should also stir in 3 cups (64 g) of arugula and 1 15-ounce can (420 g) of drained garbanzo beans. Stir the quinoa salad to combine all of the ingredients. You could also substitute the kale or frisee for the arugula. Pour the Mediterranean dressing over the quinoa salad and toss it gently. Try to coat all of the ingredients with some of the dressing. You can garnish the salad with extra slivers of basil or more crumbled feta. Serve the salad at room temperature and refrigerate any leftovers. Keep in mind that the arugula will wilt if you refrigerate it for several days. If you're going to make this salad in advance, try to make it the same day you plan on serving it.

summary: Cook the quinoa. Mix the Mediterranean dressing. Chop the vegetables and cheese. Combine the Mediterranean quinoa salad. Season and serve the salad.
