Article: The journey to High Hrothgar is long and treacherous, so make sure you stock up on supplies. Grab some health potions as well as the best armor and weapon that you can afford.  The stores in Whiterun can help prepare you for the climb. "Warmaiden's", located near the entrance of Whiterun, has two shopkeepers offering weapons and armor for sale. If you’re an archer, you can buy bows and arrows from Elrindir in the "Drunken Huntsman". For more spells and staffs, you can visit Farengar in Dragonsreach. "Belethor's General Goods" has a variety of items for sale each day. "Arcadia’s Cauldron" specializes in potions and elixirs. You'll encounter Lydia immediately after defeating the dragon outside of Whiterun. Having Lydia (or any other companion) with you for the climb will make things much easier. If she’s not already following you, you can find her in Dragonsreach (unless you've purchased Breezehome, in which case you can find her there). Talk to Lydia and request that she follow you. You can start this quest by talking to Jarl Balgruuf after defeating the dragon in Whiterun. He will inform you of the Greybeards in High Hrothgar and mark the town of Ivarstead on your map. If you're pressed for time or don't want to make the long journey, you can fast-travel to Helgen (where the game's prologue occurred) and then make a quick walk east to reach Ivarstead. This can be good if you need to quickly get to Ivarstead, but you'll miss out on a lot of locations and opportunities to gain XP. Before you can climb The Throat of the World, you'll need to get to Ivarstead. This journey will take around the base of the mountain. Along the way, you'll likely discover a variety of locations that you can visit either on the way or come back to later. Continue on the road east past Horningbrew Meadery and over the White River. You'll see a signpost that directs you towards Ivarstead. You'll face some bandits that expect a toll, as well as a Sabre Cat or two. You'll cross Darkwater River and reach a fork in the road. Head southwest at the fork. If you pass Snapleg Cave and Sarethi Farm, you're going the right way. If you see Mistwatch, you're headed the wrong direction.  Head north after when you reach Honeystrand Cave. After crossing another small bridge, you'll enter Ivarstead. Pay attention to the signs on the road if you lose your bearings. Follow the signs to Ivarstead.

Problem: Article: If your mom sees that you're knowledgeable about how to care for pierced ears, she may be more comfortable with the idea. Read up on aftercare for pierced ears. Show your mom you will care for your pierced ears and will not end up with an infection from the procedure.  Tell your mom you will get gold earrings, as these are less likely to cause infection than metal varieties. Let your mom know you will clean your earlobes each day for 4 to 6 weeks after the procedure. Tell your mom you will wash your hands first, apply rubbing alcohol or an antibacterial ointment onto a cotton swab, and gently wash your ears. Also, let your mom know you'll rotate each earring after cleaning to prevent the holes from closing up around the earring, holding it in place. If your mom is more laid back, something like, "I just think they'll look nice" may be reason enough for her. However, many parents will have reservations about pierced ears. Try to think of a reason you want pierced ears that will appeal to your mom.  Talk about your own self confidence. You could say something like, "I would feel like I could express myself with earrings. I could wear earrings to show my personality, which could help me feel more confident." You could also try something like, "I know all the female guests at cousin April's wedding will be wearing a specific type of earring. I thought it would be a nice treat for her if I could participate in that too." Avoid reasons like, "Everyone else is doing it," as your mom is unlikely to be swayed by this. Whatever your reason, make sure it's sincere. Don't say you feel earrings will build your self confidence if they won't, for example. You want to be honest with your mom, as this shows maturity. If you appear mature, your mom is more likely to say, "Yes." Do you have a friend with pierced ears? If so, you could ask him or her how to convince your mom. Your friend likely had this same conversation, and may be able to offer special insight on how to get the answer you want. Choose a friend with parents with somewhat similar values to yours. If you ask a friend with considerably more laid back parents, for example, the discussion may not have been as difficult for your friend. Before going into the conversation, think about what you'll say. Spend a lot of time considering what you want out of the conversation. This will help things stay on track when you talk to your mom.  On the surface, you want to get permission to get your ears pierced. However, think of other, deeper wants in this conversation. You want to be able to grow up a little, and make your own decisions. You want your mom to trust that you're responsible. You should also go into the conversation wanting to listen to your mom's side. Remember, a conversation is a two way street. You should be prepared to listen to your mom's perspective, even if it's not something you want to hear.
Summary: Read up on how to take care of pierced ears. Think of good reasons you want earrings. Consider talking to a friend with earrings. Think about how to have the conversation.

You can use a tempera or acrylic paint to decorate your craft sticks or paper. Note that if painting the paper, it's easier to paint before folding your fan. Let your paper or sticks dry completely before using. Using glue or double-sided tape, attach bits of ribbon, lace, buttons, feathers, stickers or beads. Make sure not to add items that are heavy, since they could tear your fan. You can easily make your fan take on a whole new shape by making a few simple cuts. While your paper is folded like an accordion, cut into the top or sides of the folds. Keep your cuts small. When you open your fan, you'll see the small cuts across all the folds.
