Unless you actually ARE on the phone when they ask you, in which case tell the person on the other line angrily, "Excuse me, stop being so rude! Can't you see someone's trying to ask me a question over here?!" Then hang up (or pretend to) and tell the stranger "I'm sorry, you know how insensitive people can be. So, what did you want to ask me?" They had it coming, anyway.

Ten Tips for writing a blog post

1. Make your opinion known
People like blogs, they like blogs because they are written by people and not corporations. People want to know what people think, crazy as it sounds they want to know what you think. Tell them exactly what you think using the least amount of words possible.

2. Link like crazy.
Support your post with links to other web pages that are contextual to your post.

3. Write Less
Give the maximum amount of information with the least amount of words. Time is finite and people are infinitely busy. Blast your knowledge into the reader at the speed of sound.

4. 250 is enough
A long post is easier to forget and harder to get into. A short post is the opposite.

5. Make Headlines snappy
Contain your whole argument in your headline. Check out National newspapers to see how they do it.

6. Include bullet point lists
We all love lists, it structures the info in an easily digestible format.

7. Make your posts easy to scan
Every few paragraphs insert a sub heading. Make sentences and headlines short and to the point.

8. Be consistent with your style
People like to know what to expect, once you have settled on a style for your audience stick to it.

9. Litter the post with Keywords.
Think about what keywords people would use to search for your post and include them in the body text and headers. make sure the keyword placement is natural and does not seem out of place.

10. Edit your post
Good writing is in the editing. Before you hit the submit button, re-read your post and cut out the stuff that you don’t need.

50 Weight Loss Tips for College Students

You've probably heard of the Freshmen 15, but lots of other college students gain weighttoo.

If you don't like the numbers flashing on your scale, here are 50 weight loss tips:

1. Don't use a cafeteria tray - you can pile too much food on it. Only eat what you can carry to the table with your own two hands.
2. Avoid the cafeteria's self-serve ice cream. A Dairy Queen self-serve ice cream cone is 280 calories.
3. Avoid yogurt toppings. A medium scoop of yogurt is 113 calorie, but that doesn't include all the brownie chunks, sprinkles, gloppy fruit sauce and M&M's that college students dump on it.
4. Stop binge drinking. Five 8-ounce margaritas equal up to 2,500 calories. Five 12-ounce beers equal up to 800 calories. Five shots of liquor add up to 1,000 calories.
5. Don't play Beer Pong, Flip Cup and other drinking games -- you'll drink more than you think.
6. Post this warning on your dorm mini fridge: To loose one pound of weight, you must burn 3,500 calories more than you consume.
7. Don't eat anything straight out of a bag or carton.
8. Avoid dorm vending machines. You don't need a Kit Kat bar at 1 a.m.
9. Visit Rachel & Ramen for healthy cooking tips from a student attending College of William & Mary.
10. Start a food journal and write down everything you eat.
11. Use an online calorie counter.
12. Wear a pedometer, which counts your footsteps.
13. Air pop popcorn instead of using caloric microwave popcorn.
14. Avoid mega, super and large sizes.
15. Drink 100% fruit juices. Orange, grapefruit and pineapple juices are healthier than apple, grape or pear juice.
16. Get enough sleep.
17. Drink lots of water.
18. Bored with water? Try flavored water, seltzer water or unsalted club soda.
19. Never eat second helpings.
20. Use a salad plate for your dinner plate.
21. Eat breakfast. Eating in the morning makes you less hungry later and reduces the temptation to pork out at lunch.
22. Eating breakfast will jump start your metabolism and give you more energy during the day.
23. Avoid fast food. Duh.
24. Only eat a serving size:
25. A serving size of meat is about the size and thickness of a deck of cards.
26. A serving size of cheese (one ounce) is about the size of four dice.
27. One teaspoon of butter is about the size of your thumb tip.
28. Get emotional support. Have your friends support you if you're trying to lose weight.
29. Set realistic goals. It's better to aim to lose one or two pounds a week rather than decide you want to lost 30 pounds as soon as possible.
30. Write down your food goals and how you hope to achieve them.
31. Eat slower. You're more likely to stop eating when you're full if you eat slowly.
32. Get off your butt. Sign up for an intramural squad.
33. Visit the gym. College health centers are often gorgeous and they are usually FREE. Try to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day.
34. Eat healthy snacks like:
35. Edamames - delicious soybeans you can heat up in microwave.
36. Quarter cup of nuts.
37. Raw veggies and hummus.
38. Frozen grapes, frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries.
39. Graham crackers.
40. Pretzels.
41. Peanut butter with apple slices.
42. Frozen fruit bars with no sugar.
43. Rice cakes made from whole grain rice.
44. Forget weight-loss pills. They can be dangerous and the effects are short lived.
45. Eat less pasta.
46. Don't assume that you can eat more because you're drinking a diet soda.
47. Ditto for sugar substitutes.
48. Don't eat late at night.
49. Set a time to weigh yourself each day or week and stick to that time.
50. Don't hate yourself for messing up from time to time. It's going to happen.

Confidence and Self-Esteem

Confidence and Self-Esteem were best friends. They went everywhere together. If Confidence bought a new dress, Self-Esteem bought one just like it. They were very close.

One day a new kid came to their school. His name was Peer Pressure. He had a friend called Hateful Words. They decided to give Confidence a hard time.

They constantly teased her. They forced her to do terrible things. It was so terrible that Confidence lost Self-Esteem. When Self-Esteem wanted to start some classes, Confidence said they wouldn’t be any good.

Then one day, Peer Pressure introduced Confidence to Doubt. He wanted to ruin Confidence, but Peer Pressure said he couldn’t yet. Self Esteem couldn’t understand what was wrong with Confidence. Confidence now hung around with Depression, Low Self-Esteem, and Overeating.

These girls were friends of Peer Pressure. Self-Esteem no longer had any friends. She no longer felt good about herself. She went to see her Imaam. Imaam Good Words told her how to talk to Confidence. He introduced her to his daughter, Encouragement.

Encouragement and Self-Esteem went to find Confidence. Self Esteem hoped she wasn’t too late. The girls found Confidence in a stupor. She was no longer a vibrant, happy young girl. There were dark circles under her eyes. She had gained so much weight from eating that she couldn’t move.

Encouragement gasped and Self-Esteem cried. She begged Encouragement to do something.

Encouragement began to hug Confidence. She kissed her and loved her. She told her that she was a beautiful young lady who had a lot going for her.

Encouragement held Confidence so tightly that Self-Esteem thought she would smother her. Confidence began to cry. As she cried, she seemed to lose weight. Then a bright light suddenly glowed from Confidence and she began to smile.

Peer Pressure and his friends didn’t like what Encouragement was doing and tried to attack her. They hit at her and pulled at her, but they couldn’t pull her away from Confidence. Then Confidence began to speak.

“Get away from me, Peer Pressure. Take your friends and go. You no longer have any power over me.” Confidence was now a glowing light. She and her friends made sure that Peer Pressure and his gang never bothered anyone in their town again.
