The Final Blog

I’m sorry to inform you all that the time of the year in which I must depart from my perch of advice giving has come. Yes indeed, the end of my fall semester as a junior in college has arrived. But before I go, I would like to provide you with some parting words.
Over the past couple of months, I have provided you with advice, with direction of do’s and don’ts, in regards to some things I have personally experienced and other things I have not personally experienced, all with the hope that I could help you improve your ability to be a smart shopper in regards to shopping for sport related items. In a way, I have worded my advice as if each and every one of you were completely unaware of the issues I presented and whether or not that itself is true, what is true is that when this final blog is posted, you will definitely be on your own to make decisions.
Really, I can’t tell you what to buy or not to buy. What may seem to make sense to me and what is true for me may not make sense or be true to any one of you. So I will no longer highlight specific items to buy or not buy, I will just tell you to be careful.
I don’t know how much I have in common with you my readers, but one thing that I’m sure that we have in common is that we all greatly value our money—maybe some of us more than others. And because I’m sure that we all greatly value our money, I will advise you all to be careful of how you spend it. This doesn’t mean that you can’t make a semi-impulsive purchase every now and then, what this means is that you should just stop and think before you buy something. It maybe wouldn’t even be too bad of an idea if you paused for a few seconds before buying something and just asked yourself, “Will I eventually regret what I am about to buy.” By doing this, by stopping and thinking, you should be able to weed out the needless purchases so you can then only have to make the purchases that are worth your money.
Especially thus time of year. It is the Holiday Season and you will find yourself in stores and malls as you will be flooded by advertisements and images of appealing looking items. The temptation to go crazy will be there. But while sme craziness can be fun, I advise you all to not go too crazy or at least crazy in a way that you will eventually feel bad for what you did.
So on this night, my final word is for you to go out, shop, have fun, but all while being careful. With that, I’m sure you’ll be fine.
