Summarize the following:
Although it might seem tempting to stay up all night to prepare for your speech, it probably won’t help you. A lack of sleep increases your stress levels and decreases your ability to focus. Be sure that you get at least eight hours of sleep the night before your speech. It is important to remember to take care of your body even when you are cramming for a presentation. Take some time to take a quick walk. Don’t forget to eat meals and keep yourself hydrated. These steps are equally important in memorizing your speech. Make a list of things that scare you about the speech. Then, try to tackle those fears. If eye contact makes you lose focus, try looking just above your audience’s head. Try giving your speech behind a podium or while holding a microphone to keep your hands busy. Use deep breathing exercises to keep yourself calm before your speech.

summary: Get enough sleep. Take a break. Learn how to keep calm.

Victoria is usually seen with lipstick. However, she doesn’t overdo the makeup, preferring a natural look.  Often, you will see her wearing neutral hues on her lips, such as taupe or mauve. She sometimes wears lip gloss or lip stain, but she also wears matte makeup. Occasionally, but not as often, Victoria brightens up her lips, generally choosing dark red lipstick or a deep berry color. Choose a neutral palette. Victoria usually plays up her eyes, and she favors earthy hues when she does this.  Choose eyeshadows in light and dark brown. Sweep the lighter color over the lids, and apply the darker brown color into the creases. Apply black mascara, and use kohl eyeliner in the waterline of the eyes. Victoria also has thicker, shaped brows. Waxing and threading can create a shaped look. Apply brow powder over the brows, and seal them with brow gel.  She prefers what she has described as a bolder brow look. She has said she uses Telescopic mascara by L’Oreal. Use dark gel eyeliner on the top lash line, and use softer pencil liner underneath the lower lash line and in the waterline of the eye. Victoria has also said she covers up pimples with brown eyeliner, to make them look like beauty marks! Victoria is not a person you will always see with makeup caked on her face and in high heels. When she is running around doing errands, she lightens up on the makeup.  She has said she will put on a little lip balm (she likes Burt’s Bees Pomegranate lip balm). She curls her eyelashes. She wears a little concealer and a little blush, and that’s it. Those are the makeup staples that she is never seen without. Victoria is a television star, but she has a big social media following. She has said her favorite social media platform is Instagram.  She loves taking photos and sharing photos of herself, using different filters.   Victoria is an active person, so her Instagram site is filled with photos of her life. However, you will often notice that she plays up her eyes in photos. They are dark black, and she uses makeup to bring them out as the dominant feature on her face.

summary: Wear lipstick. Play up your eyes. Go natural sometimes. Get an Instagram site.

Copy paper is extremely common, cheap, and easy to obtain. If you're fine with using paper that isn't blank, you can often get large amounts of used paper for free. The only thing keeping printer paper from being "origami paper" is the fact that it is rectangular, not square. You will need to trim some away for proper origami paper. Properly folding the printer paper will allow you to cut it into a perfect square without using a ruler. Take the top right corner and fold it down until it touches the left edge of your paper. The entire top edge of your paper should now be even with the left side. Make a crisp crease along the fold. Your paper should now look like a sailboat with a folded right triangle "sail" sitting on top of a single-layer rectangle. Take the point in the top left corner and fold it down so it is equal with both the left side and the base of the triangle. Your paper should now look similar to a house. The top will now be a right triangle with a centered point and the bottom section a rectangle. Take the rectangle at the bottom and fold it behind the triangle. Make a sharp crease along the edge. Now you can unfold the triangle. This will remove the excess paper. Unfold the paper completely. Use a pair of scissors to cut off the bottom rectangular flap. Use the crease to guide you, and try to cut as straight of a line as possible. Now you should have a square piece of paper that you can use for your origami practice. You may want to use a hard, flat object to smooth the paper so that it's easier to work with when you are folding your origami. Try putting it inside a thick textbook for a day or two.
summary: Gather normal copy or printer paper. Make your first fold. Make your second fold. Fold the bottom flap. Cut along the bottom crease with a pair of scissors. Unfold your paper completely.
