When you meet someone for the first time, leave a good impression by greeting them warmly. Smile when you talk and appear friendly. Introduce yourself. If you have known their name and forgotten it, politely ask them again. Open up to them and ask them what they do and where they live. Try to connect but don’t ask personal questions or make fun of them.

Paying attention in class can be a difficult task, but taking notes forces you to pay attention to what your teacher is saying. I’ve found that I always paid more attention when I was keeping myself accountable by writing down key terms and examples during lectures. On days I chose not to take notes, I did not remember even half as much as I did on the days that I did take notes. This will also help you long-term during tests and quizzes.

Large plastic storage bins can be placed anywhere without any worries and they can keep the clothes 99% safe from dust, water, moisture, and bad smells. Find some sturdy plastic storage boxes to hold your winter clothes. Fold your clothes tightly and place them in the boxes. You can place the boxes either under the bed, in your garage, or in the attic.

Wooden racks on the walls are a style statement and they can hold a lot of stuff. If you have too many things lying around on your nightstand, install one or two wooden shelves in parallel on the wall beside your bed or above your computer table. You can put your cosmetics, books, candles, and jewelry boxes on the stand. Keep everything clean and neat. Arrange the books and it should look appealing.

Similarly, if your kitchen has fewer cabinets and your spice jars are always lying on the countertops, you need to install more racks. Arrange your jars, and crockery on the racks so that you have more counter space and everything is easy to grab.

The best way to bind safely and properly is using a binder, bar none. But if none is available to you, then the next best thing is to try two sports bras. Sports bras are meant to compress and keep all your parts in place while doing physical activity, so one on top of the other will compress even more and keep everything nice and flat as possible. Just ensure that they fit well and do not restrict your breathing in any way.
