INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don’t repeatedly send them unwanted gifts, follow them, stand outside their home, or generally do anything to make them feel uncomfortable. If you want to be friends with the celeb, you won’t want to make them feel unsafe. Keep a safe distance and don’t overdo it with the attention. Cyber stalking is also an issue. Don’t post anything negative the defame their character, spread rumors, or generally harass them online. If you want to make friends with famous people just to use them, keep in mind that they will probably see right through you. Famous people deal with strangers who just want to use them for their money or connections all the time, and they will be able to tell if that’s the case with you. Make sure you are trying to establish a friendship for the right reasons. For example, if you do make friends with someone famous, pay your own way. If they offer to pay for things, that’s fine, but never expect or ask them to. Treat them like you would any other normal person. Famous people deal with obsessive fans all the time. They probably keep most people at a bit of a distance for a while until they’re sure that person genuinely wants to be their friend and isn’t just a crazy fan. Many famous people don’t communicate directly with fans online, or answer private messages. It might be very difficult to become friends with famous people at all. Give it time if you have started communicating with someone famous. Don’t expect a relationship to happen overnight. They will probably need some time to trust you and decide they want to meet you or hang out with you. Once you have made friends with someone famous, be a good person and a good friend to them. If you use them or act like someone you’re not just to keep their attention, they will more than likely notice and be turned off by it. Treat them like any other friend, and they will probably appreciate it. Famous people don’t usually want to be treated like they’re more important than anyone else, especially by people they consider friends. They would probably appreciate you treating them like a normal person, and like someone they can be themselves around.

SUMMARY: Make sure you aren’t stalking the celebrity. Avoid using famous people for their connections. Remember that it might be impossible to become their friend. Be a good friend if you do establish a relationship.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your first draft was a bit haphazard, grab your notes and the instructions and write a second, final draft. Use proper grammar and spelling, and include all the information that is required. Make sure to look at your work on a micro and macro level. Not only should the words be accurate, concise, and fit together, but the paper needs to fit together as a whole. Does it seem to gel? Would any reordering make it better? Take a break before you start editing -- your mind needs different stimuli to process to break up the monotony and find the smaller errors. Once you're ready to go back, read the letter of intent and make necessary changes to ensure it reads clearly and everything makes sense. Edit ruthlessly to avoid repetition and make the writing flow smoothly from one paragraph to the next. Have a fellow student or co-worker, or a family member or friend read it for you. A new set of eyes will see a new set of things. Include the letter of intent with any other application materials, and submit the entire package to the institution according to the directions. If you have more than one page, you may want your name on each one (small and in the corner) in case the pages get separated.

SUMMARY: Write a final draft. Proofread and edit your work. Submit the letter of intent.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You may have difficulty fighting the urge to procrastinate, but keep in mind that feedback and revisions can sometimes take up to a week. If you wait, you may forget a lot of important details from the experiment. Having a rough version of your report at the ready a month in advance can save you from unnecessary stress and from having to turn in unpolished work.  You may have performed supplemental experiments/simulations, or repeated your initial experience after receiving your first round of feedback. Feedback should go through the following stages ideally:   (a) Self-review and revision  (b) Peer review and constructive feedback  (c) Advisor/instructor review and feedback The goal of your experiment or the goal of proving or disproving certain hypotheses is essentially unimportant when you are writing a lab report. The data contained in it could be anything, and you may very well have to write lab reports in the future that seem silly or unnecessary. The goal of your lab report is to be read and evaluated by another person, like your instructor.  It can help to remind yourself of this goal at the beginning of every section before you start writing. When you finish a section of your report, read it through carefully and at the end of it, ask yourself: was that easy to read and understand? Did I succeed in my goal? The narrowest purpose of your lab report is to enable your seniors, advisors, and/or an evaluation committee to confirm your ability to consistently and clearly produce a report. But once you start devising and performing labs of your own, it's quite possible that your peers or juniors will utilize it as a resource. If you believe your paper might be of use to researchers in another discipline, like a social science, you may want to include definitions or explanations for the more technical jargon used in your paper. Take a piece of scrap paper and pencil and list the necessary sections of your lab report in order. Under each section, jot a few sentences that summarize what must be covered in that section.  Due to the fact that different instructors have different preferences, you should check your lab report handout or course syllabus to verify expectations for the order and content of your report.  Most lab reports are organized, first to last: background information, problem, hypothesis, materials, procedure, data, and your interpretation of what happened as a conclusion. Technical aspects of your paper might require significant explanation. This may necessitate the use of subsections so that you can appropriately delve into and explain those nuanced aspects of your lab problem.  The organization of the body of your lab report will be specific to your problem/experiment. You may also have a separate section for the statement of your design methodology, experimental methodology, or proving subsidiary/intermediary theorems in your report.

SUMMARY:
Get a head start on your lab report as soon as possible. Write your report with the primary goal of readability. Determine your present audience, and potential future ones. Outline the general structure of your lab report. Break sections of your report into subsections, if necessary.
