The Ways of The Wise

Some people have their own ways of starting off a new school year and new season but in Barbara Guggenheim's “10 Tips to Start the Fall Off Right”, you can gain new helpful ways to get your Fall season started off right. Tip number one tells you to make a list of chores and everyone’s activities so that you can keep organized during times when you are busy. The second one advises you to make a list of all the important numbers (medical insurance, car insurance, parent numbers, and ect.) in your family just incase anything life threatening occurs. Number three tells you to clean out your house so that anything left over from summer is gone and then restock you cupboards with new food and drinks. Tip four says to refresh you bedrooms and bathrooms and make them up to date with the new holidays coming around. Half way there, number five advises you to make a list of helpful and important items that need to belong in the glove compartment of your car. If you child has graduated from high school and is now moving on to college, make a list of what he will need to get by when he/she in on his own is what tip number six tells you to do. If you need a home office, you can rearrange furniture in your house so there is room; tip number seven informs you of this. Its time to clean out your drawers and closets of summery clothes and replace them with long sleeves and jeans. Tip number nine delegates you to clean out your old toiletries and replace them. Lastly, tip number ten suggests that you get new sheets for your bed, make your bed, then lie in it for the first time and relax.

Each and every tip that I said is very useful. The tips are good but for most people twenty years of age or older. The tips really are not that good for teenagers and kids just like me. I will most likely never think of any of those tips when ever fall comes around. When fall comes around, I think of school, soccer, friends, and family. If someone ever came up to me now and told me to go and make a list of chores and activities I have during the fall, I would probably just look at them and walk away. When I am about to go to college or maybe when I am out of college I will use those tips to my advantage. But right now, they are dead to me. Are they dead to you? Do they apply to you? Will you ever use them now or maybe even later on? Oh, the questions you ask yourself as a your adult.
