How to identify a false friend 
Question whether your friend constantly disappoints you. 
False friends may frequently lie, break promises, or pull disappearing acts when you need them most. Reflect on the friendship over the past several weeks or months.

OPTIONS:
- If you decide you need a friend that flaunts responsibility but who both shows weakness but loves helping you, then this person may be a friend of yours. Liars tend to deliver their lies in subtle ways so it is difficult to be objective.
- Ask yourself if this type of behavior would become apparent when your friend sets her true boundaries. If this friend frequently spills, lists things all the time, or disappears in a routine for no apparent reason, she is likely a liar.
- Has this friend regularly let you down in some way? If so, you may be dealing with a fake friend. If your friend is constantly disappointing you, you'll have to decide which is the best option-to lower your expectations of the friendship or let them go completely.
- An impossible friendship may have begun gradually, only to become increasingly difficult. Similarly, you may find a friendship based on arrogance, a quick reference to past secrets, or a hunch about the friend's behavior.

How to stay up late without electronics 
Drink caffeine. 
Caffeine blocks neurotransmitters in your brain that make you sleepy. When you start to feel drowsy, reach for a cup of coffee or a soda.

OPTIONS:
- Remember that caffeine loses its effectiveness with overuse. Try to save it for when you really need it.
- Your body will start shutting down caffeine when you're outside and keep you awake by doing what it is meant to do. It can help you stay awake long enough to go to bed.
- Though caffeine will not give you energy right before sleep, it will trigger the natural sleep signal that draws us into the world right before it hits. An caffeine-rich beverage will wake you up more, making your sleep better.
- Coffee is the source of human sleepiness so drinking coffee or another caffeinated beverage before bedtime is important. Even an extra pill is a key lubricant.

How to grow anthurium plants 
Prepare a soil mix. 
Anthurium prefers a coarse, well-draining soil. Try a mixture of equal parts perlite, peat moss, and pine bark.

OPTIONS:
- You can purchase pots from the herb website of your local nursery or find materials at an online gardening store. Mix in 2 1/2 tbsp.
- This can help nourish the roots while providing growing habitats for anthurium plants. Blend one part perlite or peat moss into the soil mixture, which should be medium-dry.
- Alternatively, combine three parts potting mix with one part coarse material such as orchid bark or lava rock. If the anthurium plant is at least a year old, it may prefer an even coarser material, achieved by adding a handful of crumbled aquarium charcoal, coarse river sand, or small pieces of broken brick.
- These materials may have a tendency to mix out of the leaf gland, but you will be able to work on this unbacteria-resistant soil without any problems. Keep in mind that some plants prefer un-permeable ground, but others prefer to come alive and flower.
