Participate in student life in a prudent and active way by getting involved in student politics and student action groups on campus. You could run for a position on the student political board or join a student action group that focuses on an issue you are passionate about, such as social justice or the environment. A big part of being prudent is engaging with others in a decisive way and using your good judgement to help others, including your peers at school. You may decide to start your own action group if your school or university does not have an action group on a topic you are passionate about or interested in. Talk to your school counselor or the leader of student life at your university to find out how to start your own action group. It can be difficult to balance your academic commitments and maintain an active social life, whether you are in middle school, high school, or university. Use good judgement and focus on completing your academic requirements first before you go out for the night or head off on a vacation. Make academic-related decisions that are based on principal, which often means prioritizing your most important deadlines first and completing your assignments on time. You can also create a daily schedule or to-do list of your academic commitments and your social plans to ensure you have set aside enough time for each task. Complete your homework and assignments before you socialize with friends so you can enjoy yourself without stressing out about a deadline. This will show you can act with prudence and good judgement. Start a conversation around energy saving in the classroom by talking to other students, teachers, and administrators about energy saving methods. Start an energy saving committee with other students where you actively pursue ways to reduce waste on campus. Because energy saving on a campus wide or school wide level can be overwhelming, you may want to focus on small adjustments to daily tasks first and then tackle larger energy issues in the future. For example, you may suggest that all computer labs set the computers to energy saving mode and unplug all computers once the school is closed for the day. You may also encourage recycling bins next to every garbage can on campus and the use of compostable items on field trips or for large events. Being a good counselor between friends is a big part of being prudent and demonstrating good judgement. Actively listen to friends who are fighting and try to help them reach a compromise or talk through their issues. Suggest an intervention with other friends if one friend is having difficulties at home or at school and needs extra support. You should also act prudently when you are trying to settle a dispute between you and a friend or a peer at at school. Rather than try to place blame or ignore the opinions of others, listen to the person’s thoughts in a respectful way and try to have a respectful conversation about the issue.

Summary: Get involved in student politics and student action groups. Balance your academic commitments and your social life with prudence. Discuss energy saving methods in the classroom with your teacher. Try to settle arguments with friends using prudence and good judgement.


Facebook Messenger has a comparatively easy set-up process, but you'll still need to log in with your Facebook account information to access your Facebook contacts. Even though Facebook Messenger uses your friends list, it will still ask for access to your contacts list when you open it for the first time; make sure you enable this option by tapping "OK". This will activate your Messenger account and allow you access to your Facebook friends, even if you don't have their phone numbers. If you use your phone number to log into Facebook, you can also use it to log into Messenger. This will take you to all of your available contacts. You can also access contacts through the "Active Now" list on the Home tab, which is where Messenger opens to by default. This will open a conversation with that contact. You can also add people to this conversation by tapping your contact's name at the top of the chat window, then tapping "Create Group" and typing in the name of another contact. You can add photos or emoji to this conversation from beneath the text field as well. As long as the contact to whom you wish to talk is currently Facebook Messenger, they should be able to receive your message and respond to you in a matter of seconds!

Summary: Tap the "Facebook Messenger" app to open Facebook Messenger. Allow Facebook Messenger to access your contacts when prompted. Enter your Facebook email address and password. Tap the "People" tab at the bottom of your screen. Tap a contact's name. Type your message in the field at the bottom of your screen. Tap "Send" to send your instant message.


Just a couple of drops of water flipped off your hand will really crackle when the oil has reached this heat level. Shake off the excess flour and let the fillets sit on a rack or on wax paper for 5-10 minutes. Roll the fillets in the flour a second time. As before, shake off the excess flour. Now they're ready for the pan! No more than 2 at a time, however. Frying more than 2 fillets at once drives down the oil temperature which will make the fish and coating soggy. Turn once in the pan after a minute or so and remove when golden brown. They should be done in under 4 minutes; white and flaky inside at the thickest section of the fillet. Do not overcook! Garnish with sauces and sides for taste and presentation.

Summary: Heat the oil in a 3 or 4-quart pan to at least 375° F (190°C). Roll the dry and thawed fish in the flour. Deep fry those bad boys. Drain each fillet on paper towels for a few seconds and serve immediately. Finished.


To speed up, simply twist the hand-grip throttle with your right hand. Twist the throttle away from you until you are at your desired speed. You will be able to go different speeds depending on the size of your motor scooter. A smaller scooter (125cc to 150cc) can travel 65mph. To brake on a motor scooter, press the hand brakes with both hands, similar to how you would on a bicycle. The right hand will usually control the front brake and the left hand will control the rear brake. When turning on a motor scooter, you must tilt the handlebar towards the side you wish to turn and actually lean your body in that direction. Your scooter should naturally lean in the direction that you are pressing the handlebar and it is important to get used to this. Practice turning slowly at first. As you increase the speed of your turns, you will also need to lean more. Getting comfortable on a motor scooter can take some time. Go to an empty parking lot and spend time driving your scooter around. Practice accelerating, braking and turning until you are comfortable doing so. Then try out your scooter on a slow street and gradually progress to higher speeds. Scooters are lightweight and not the most stable at high speeds. When going fast, use extreme caution. Always yield to cars. Keep in mind that there is nothing protecting you from the road should you fall. Always follow all motor scooter laws. To find out these laws, ask your local DMV. Keep in mind that driving laws for motor scooters are more similar to cars than bikes. If you are used to riding a bike, it might be difficult to break these instincts. Motor scooters are driven in the middle of the road and obey all traffic signals and signs just as you would in a car.
Summary: Accelerate gradually. Brake with both hands. Lean into your turns. Practice in an empty parking lot. Use caution on the road.
