Assignment 20- Emma Tucker

How to park on the hill...

When I am older and reflecting on my life and think about my junior year of high school, I am positive that one of the biggest things I will remember is the hours I spent sitting in my car after getting to school and hour and a half early to get a parking spot. While it might be a pain in the you know what to wake up before the sun has even considered rising to get to school in order too fight for a parking spot, there are ways to make it easier.

First, if it is under 40 degrees you are going to want a blanket because you can't leave your car running the entire time. I suggest leaving a couple blankets in your car, so you always have one if you need it.

Second, bring something to do. I have always been a student that gets my homework done the night before. But, when you have so much extra time in the morning there is no reason to stress about getting everything done at night. Go ahead and finish your math homework in the car.

My last piece of advice might be the most important. If you have friends that also park on the hill, invite them to come join you in the morning. Time goes much quicker if you have someone to spend it with, and there is no better way to start your day than with good conversation and laughter, except maybe an extra hour of sleep.
