There are several rows of cups in different colors. You will use these color cups to create your own profile.

Step 1: Create a circle in light-blue cups. The number of cups is equal to your height in feet rounded to the nearest foot (e.x. 6’4’’ ≈ 6 cups).

Step 2: Stack the purple cups right on top of your previous cups. The number of cups is equal to your birthday months (e.x. May = 5 cups).

Step 3: Stack the dark-blue cups. The number of cups is equal to your birthday days.

Step 4: Stack the pink cups. The number of cups is equal to the years you are in school in your highest education (e.x. college, high school).

Step 5: Stack the yellow cups. The number of cups is equal to the number of classes you took this year (you don’t have to put one if you don’t take any).

Step 6: Stack the brown cups. The number of cups is equal to the number of cities you had lived in (e.x. from your childhood to later in life).

Step 7: Stack the green cups. The number of cups is equal to the number of your sad/stress days in this week (you don’t need to put one if you don’t experience one).

Step 8: Stack the orange cups. The number of cups is equal to the number of your neutral days in this week.

Step 9: Stack the red cups. The number of cups is equal to the number of your happy days in this week (you don’t need to put one if you don’t experience one)

Step 10: Choose your favorite color and stack the color cups you pick. The number of cups is equal to the number of people that you consider is close to you.

Step 11: Choose the color of/close to your eye colors and stack the cups in your favorite number from 0-9!
