How to Be Happy 

The purpose of life is to be happy. “Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful” said Albert Schweitzer, an important philosopher. Happiness can be hard to find… In order to discover it, you must follow these simple steps.

Step one: Follow Your Heart

At some point in your life, you will come to make a major decision. To make the right choice, follow your heart. Do what you want to do and not what others tell you to do. In the long term, it will bring you happiness. Furthermore, listen to your conscience. It will tell you if what you’re doing is right, and feels right. Also, listening to Happy by Pharrell Williams can bring you some happiness…

Step two: Treat Your Body Right

Exercise is the best medication for a good attitude. You will notice that eating good nutriments, a bit of squats, and a nice night’s sleep will contribute to a happy life. “Getting just a single extra hour of sleep per night makes the average person happier than making $60,000 more in annual income, astoundingly enough.” Said author Arianna Huffington. Giving energy to your body can transform your mood into a happy one.

Step three: Smile

Smiling throughout your day can turn your mood and anyone else’s mood around. Smiling shows power and strength.  If you can learn how to smile in worse case scenarios, you’ll overcome obstacles which can lead to happiness. It is always important to smile, and you’ll notice that smiling in pictures can also bring your grandparents happiness! Smiling to make a good first impression can also grant you a job or a new friend, which could lead to something great in your life. Think of Louis Armstrong singing "When you're smilin', the whole world smiles with you.” It’s true.

Final Step: Be Yourself!

You’ll notice that letting others boss you around or judge you for stupid reasons will affect you in different ways. Don’t let it get to you! Being yourself and having as much fun as you will show others who is in charge of your own self, because you own yourself. The only way you will be really happy is when you come to the conclusion that the other small problems don’t matter. We concentrate on the small things when the good things are out there, and they bring joy. Love yourself to be happy!

If you follow these steps, you’ll notice that delight will come, and then will come success. Of course being happy can be hard at times, but life is too short to be sad. Enjoy the little things in life, and don’t forget to be happy!

How to be a Canadian

Canadians are one of the nicest people on the face of the earth. From their politeness, their offer for help they are always there to lend a helping hand except Justin Beaver. We regret that he is Canadian. To become an excellent Canadian you must follow these simple steps.

Step one:

Your vocabulary must incorporate the word “EH”. This word is holy. Canadians incorporate this word for multiple reasons. The word has multiple functions. It can replace a question mark, add exclamation to a sentence or do nothing.

·         What kind of twig is that eh

·         Nice car eh

·         Nice day eh

·         Eh its Canada d’eh

When attending any events you must go to “timmies”. Timmies coffee is liquid gold. Canadians love their coffee and bring them everywhere. Also with your coffee you must either have timbits or a donut, these items are foods of gods. When in Canada you will realise that timmies are everywhere. Here are some examples of where you should bring your Tim Hortons:

·         Son’s hockey game

America might have the mlb, nfl and the nba but to the great white north hockey is the only game. To Canadians hockey is a religion. During the winter your life is the odr. You aren’t Canadian if you don’t know what the ODR is (Outdoor rink). When at the odr you must know how to do sticks in the middle. Little hint you never want to be the guy/girl that has to do it. Also when it snows you must shovel. You don’t deserve to play. You need to pick up that shovel and take the white stuff off the ice. You always go to the odr during the winter here are a few examples of when you should go to the odr:

How to find the right healthy hair products for you

There are many products that claim they are organic and provide the best results and health for your hair. However, most products claiming this actually do comtain harmful chemicals. It’s all lies, darling. Ingredients like parabens, mineral oil, silicones and sodium laurel or laureth saulfate can be harmful and cause irreplaceable hair damage and serious health issues. These ingredients can be avoided by choosing more natural products and even finding great alternatives for the same results.

The first thing to take into consideration is to recognize which  products are most harmful for hair and can have an impact on peoples health. Sulfates, the chemical often found in shampoo that makes it lather can strip you hair of its natural oils causing it to dry up and break. Also, products that end in "eth" are all 1,4-Dioxane positive, a cancer causing petrochemical. Silicones and mineral oil clog up the hair folicle by coating the hair. This might make it look shiny and glossy at first but, by doing this these products are also suffocating it and drying your hair. Moisture is no longer able to reach the follicle thanks to the impenetrable barrier around it. Also look out for parrabens, they are a well know cancerogen used as a preservative in a lot of beauty products.This why it is important to look at the ingredients before making a purchase. The more natural the ingerdients the better.

The second thing to look into when lookig for new products is to read consumer reviews. Even though everybody's hair is different and reacts differently to hair products, reading a review from people with similar hair types as you will make things much simpler when trying to find the perfect hair products for you.

The third step is to take your time with the products bought. Hair products and all beauty products in general are not meant to work miracles the first time they're applied. Being discouraged after you try a product for the first time and quickly buying a new product to hopefully get the results you want can resulting into being a product junkie, collecting up a pile of products that you most likely wont use. That is why it is recomeneded to use the product for at least a month for your hair to properly react to the product used.

In the end it is not an easy process to find the right products for you. It takes a long time, and a lot of determination but, in the end it’s all worth it because you will be proud of your accomplishment, treating your body right and preventing futur problems.

How to catch your first musky

The muskellunge is the biggest and most aggressive fresh water predator in Canada. It can grow up to 4 feet in length and weight up to 70 pounds. This may be why it attracts so many anglers from all over the country. A couple of attacks on humans have actually been recorded from theses 4 foot giants. Now let me teach you how to catch one of these elusive predators. Musky’s are found in southern Ontario as well as Manitoba and Quebec. World record potential musky’s lurk in the waters of the Ottawa River. 

Rigging up to catch one of these giants can be a challenge. To be able to fight a musky an angler must possess a heavy duty rod and at least 75 pound test line. A longer rod might be better for somebody who wants to cast where as for trolling it all depends on angler preferences. Lures of up to 20 inches and one pound are frequently use by musky anglers to trigger hits from musky.

There are 2 main techniques used by musky anglers to catch musky’s. Trolling consists of throwing your lure behind the boat as this one moves forwards dragging the lure in the water. Casting is throwing the lure away from the boat and retrieving it back. A popular technique in casting for musky fishing is to do a figure 8 when the lure is at boat side as often musky will fallow and not hit, this will cause a hit.

Musky fishing in the spring as the season begins can be very different to the techniques employed to catch them later in the fishing season. During this time of year to catch a musky an angler should cast in shallow bays where the musky would have just finished spawning and in areas of the body of water close to the bays. Anglers should use smaller lures, in the 6 to 8 inch range with very fast an erratic action to trigger strikes.

During the beginning of summer anglers should change to a buck tailed stile of lure in order to catch fish. Cast these lures out and retrieve them at a very high pace in order to trigger reaction strikes. An angler should focus on weed lines and shallow bays during this time of year. The weed line will be developing and finding the areas where it seems to be thicker might lead to success. An angler may also troll with buck tails at this time of year.

As the end of summer approaches, a musky angler should shift his attention to slightly deeper water in drop offs, timber of weeds. Lures used should range from 6 to 12 inches and fast and erratic action is often the key. An angler may also troll for success. Top water in the evenings often also leads to success in this time of year.

As fall approaches, anglers should concentrate their efforts on deeper waters, near drop offs timber and bait fish. Lures employed may range from 8 to 20 inches and live bait may also be used. Trolling is a more popular technique during this time of year. Slow and smooth action is the key during fall.

Once you catch your fish of a lifetime it is important to know how to handle it properly to be able to release it without damaging it. A big net and gloves are necessary while musky fishing. Rest the fish in the net in the water while taking the hooks out of its mouth. Then grab the fish by its gill plates and support it by its belly to avoid putting stress on its spine. Take plenty of pictures as you will want to relive this experience over and over again but make sure not to keep it out of the water for too long. Then release it in the water while holding onto the tail to revive the fish, this is very important. Remain patient, these are elusive fish and catching them are rare. Congratulations on your first musky catch and may you catch many more giants.

How to get ready for school in less than 10 minutes (for girls)- Hayley Wormington and Elisabeth Parsons

How to get ready for school in less than 10 minutes (for girls)

The most common used excuse for being late to school is: ‘I woke up too late’, ‘I didn't have enough the time to get ready’, ‘I missed my bus’. Students, especially girls, don't seem to find the time to do everything in the morning before school like choosing their outfit, doing their makeup, etc.

Teenagers these days are ones to stay up late. It’s all fine in the summer when you can wake up as late as you want or even on the weekends. However, when school starts again, we tend to still keep our old habits, which results in staying up late and getting up early. I am one of those unfortunate victims who barely get 6 hours of sleep on weekdays. So how to get ready in a short amount of time when all you want to do is just get back in your bed sheets and sleep?  

Step one: Do the basics before. For instance, shower the night before. That way when you wake up it will look nice and you. Maybe even blow-dry your hair for an effortless straight look or braid it for beach waves in the morning. Also, get your outfits ready in advance. That way you won’t be scrambling in the morning to find possible outfit combinations. Tip: Take pictures of yourself in possible outfit ideas. Then, pick the one that you think would look nice and recreate the look!

Step two: When you wake up, the first thing you should do is wash your face. It will be clean and ready for the makeup. Use a natural product because you never know what chemical products could contain which your skin absorbs.  Next, brush your teeth; take your time to brush them carefully. Badly brushed teeth can result to cavities and tooth decay.

Step three (optional): Time for makeup. For a more natural effortless look while still looking stunning, substitute your liquid foundation for a powder one. You shouldn’t mask your natural beauty through full on makeup for just school. After that, you can add neutral eye shadow and purchase an already curling mascara (example: Clinique High Impact Curl Mascara-18$). This will save us time from curling your lashes by still giving the same result. Tip: Instead of using your blush, dab some of the lip stick/lip balm that you used on your lips onto your cheeks and blend it in for a faster yet natural makeup result.

These tips may be very small and vague; however they can make a big difference to your day. From being scrambled and stressed out; to being organized and ready for your busy day, we should all follow these tips. From on late night stayer to another, we could all use those extra minutes in the morning to sit down and relax.

How to act around your crush; Dos and Don'ts (Girl edition)

How to act around your crush; Dos and Don'ts (Girl edition)

From the start of relationships, girls make certain mistakes that lead to problems or that end the relationship. Some girls don't know how to act around a guy that they like and tend to seem desperate, so here are 2 ways to act around your crush with some dos and don'ts.  Be reminded that every guy is different, these methods might not work for a specific guy you like although, keeping these suggestions in mind can be helpful.

Through social media: Social media is our generation’s way of communicating with new people. It’s shown that 1 out 3 relationships start with the internet, but having conversations through text messages or facebook chats can be very difficult. You don't always know the other person very well and so you don’t know their emotions. However not being face-to-face can be easier for shy people. Girls need to realize that guys have a certain way to text. For example if he replies with sarcasm, or with the use of emoticons, and so on, you must not respond with a desperate answer.  

Don’t:

• Text him everyday
• 5 times a day
• 10 times in a row
• with hearts for emojis

...This will obviously make you look desperate.

        

Do:

• Play hard to get
• Take your time to answer his texts
• If ever he dips the conversation, act cool. DON’T text him asking where he went or text him more than 3 times in a row.
• Flirt but not too much to stay mysterious

...This will help, depending on the guy.

In public and school: Speaking to your crush on facebook or by text is a lot easier than in person. It might come easier for you to flirt with them by text than in person and you might feel awkward or he might feel awkward. Take the time to talk to your crush, guys prefer speaking with a girl in person than through text. When talking in person, try to be comfortable don't be awkward or trying to be cute by acting dumb, most of the guys can tell when a girl is faking it. Try and see what are common things that you and your crush share, this will make the conversation flow easier and will come naturally.

         

Don’t:

• Start screaming his name from the distance and waving your arms like crazy to catch his attention
• Stare/gaze at him, no matter how hot he is
• Play with your hair like its gonna somehow curl around your finger
• Laugh really loudly with your friends to get his attention
• Ignore him and go the other way

...This will make you look straight up weird and a bit typical.

Do:

• Act yourself
• Try your best to keep the conversation going
• Keep eye contact
• If you're confident enough, get your flirt on

...This will make him want to get to know you better.

How to lead a swimming lesson for 5 year olds

Lifeguards can face several challenges while on the job. Leading a swimming lesson may be one of the hardest yet most fun parts of working as a City of Ottawa lifeguard. Different age groups present different obstacles. The parented classes can be awkward, lower swim kids levels introduce a lot of new material, and in the higher swim kid levels you’re trying to teach teenagers. The best level to teach is the preschoolers, but they present a challenge nonetheless. To lead a successful preschooler class, you need to follow certain criteria.

Be creative. Having new ideas every week is essential to keep your students interested. The crazier you think you sound, the more successful your idea will probably be with the kids. Using things that they like, such as cartoons and fast food in your games and class content will encourage their participation. When the student uses their imagination during the class it helps them focus on you and what you’re trying to teach them. Creativity on your part can go a long way during your lesson.

Get them involved. Your students want your approval so by asking them simple questions, it keeps them interested. While doing a front float, for example, asking “what’s supposed to come out of your mouth” will get them to think, and figure out it was bubbles. This way, they will be more likely to remember for next time. Also while they are not practicing their skill, give them something else to do. Keeping them active is an easy way to avoid bad behaviour. For example when you are practicing front floats with a student, get your other students to do their bubbles. That way they are practicing something helpful and not causing trouble.

Praise. You become an idol to your students while you wear your lifeguard singlet. They look up to your skill level and want you to appreciate and encourage them. By praising them for good effort or for continuous safe behaviour, they will want to continue. Positivity will do a lot better in the long run than waiting for them to mess up and then yelling at them. They want to keep pleasing you, so rewarded good behaviour will become a habit for the kids.

Be authoritive. You want your kids to have fun but, your primary job is to keep them safe. They need to know what they are absolutely not allowed to do and those rules need to be enforced. You can be fun and creative and energetic but, when they aren’t listening, there needs to be a set punishment. You are the leader of the class and they need to respect your authority. Just think, if you don’t set boundaries and they drown, they will no longer be having fun. Therefore, fun is never an excuse to leave safety behind. Listening to you is part of their learning.

Have fun. Most importantly, you have to have fun. It may be your job to teach them but if you don’t have some fun with it, your students won’t have any fun either. Find some joy in your classes and the students will feed off of your energy. If they see you enjoying yourself, they will want to listen to you so they can start having as much fun as you.

They key to a good lesson with preschoolers is: “Fake it till you make it”. To all of the elements above, you just need to push yourself out of your comfort zone for a while and it will soon become natural. Just think of it this way, if you smile, the students smile. If the kids smile, the parents smile. If the parents are happy, your boss is smiling. Once your boss is happy, you have successfully led your class and accomplished your task as an instructor.

How to… Quickly write a How-to Essay

by Alexandra Clifford and Isabella Orozco-Madison

How-to essays provide instructions or steps to complete a task. There are endless topics to write a how-to essay about, and as long as it fits your teacher’s assignment, you can write about any subject you’d like.

If you are a teenager and you are not willingly writing this essay, you most likely want to get it over with as fast as possible, but still get a decent grade. This how-to will help you achieve your goals of writing an essay AND still have time to enjoy your weekend.

The first step is to brainstorm. It’s important to write down every idea that comes to mind because you never know what might pique your interest! Now that your brainstorm is done, you will have many topics. Cross out the ones that interest you less to narrow it down to one topic. When writing a how-to essay, it’s generally easier to pick a topic you are knowledgeable on, because it cuts down on research time and allows you to write with ease.

If you are instructed to write a step-by-step how-to essay without numbers, you should follow the the usual structure of any other essay: an introduction, body and a concluding paragraph. In your first paragraph, you should state the topic and the materials that will be needed to complete the task or project. The introduction should also explain why the topic is relevant. By example, if you are writing an essay on how to shower, you could state “Showering is important for your health, and it is also basic hygiene.”

The next paragraphs should contain instructions and tips for following the procedure or project you mentioned in the introduction. In the conclusion, you should give a brief description of how the project should turn out if done properly. Also, it’s important to re-state the relevance of your topic in the conclusion as it gives good closure to the essay.

Now that your How-to essay is complete, feel free to enjoy the rest of your (hopefully) homework free weekend!
