I always think “I wish I was more beautiful,” but I have decided to never have cosmetic surgery. The other day, one of my friends told to me, “I have a complex too. If you think that you are not beautiful, your face won’t look good. But if you think that you are beautiful, you will be beautiful now. So, let’s think positively!” I was happy to hear that. A large number of people have a complex. Whether you have cosmetic surgery or not depends on your own decision. I want to take good care of my original self, and I want to have confidence. I think that I should start with positive thinking. (written by student Miss K, edited by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

Popcorn was first eaten in South America thousands of years ago, but it became a popular snack when the popcorn machine was invented in the U.S. in 1885. You can buy ready-made popcorn, but it isn’t as good as freshly-made popcorn. What is the secret to making great popcorn? First, cover the bottom of a pot with cooking oil and heat it until it is very hot. Add uncooked popcorn kernels, cover the pot with a lid, and wait. When they start popping, lower the temperature and shake the pot until the popcorn stops popping. Add salt and melted butter, and you have great popcorn. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
