Ladies and of the class of '99 sunscreen
If I could you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been by scientists the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable Than my own meandering experience, I will this advice now
Enjoy the power and beauty of youth, oh, never mind You will not understand the power and beauty of your Until faded but trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back At photos of yourself and recall in a way you grasp now How much possibility lay you and how fabulous you really looked You are not as fat as you
Don't worry the future Or know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra by chewing bubble gum The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your mind The kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on idle Tuesday Do one every day that scares you
Don't be reckless with other hearts put up with people who are reckless with yours
Don't waste your on jealousy Sometimes you're ahead, you're behind The race is long and in the end, it's with yourself Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults, if you in doing this, tell me how Keep your old love letters, throw your old bank statements
Don't feel guilty if you don't what you want to do with your life. The most interesting I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I still don't Get of calcium Be kind to knees You'll miss them when they're
you'll marry, maybe you won't Maybe you'll children, maybe you won't Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the Chicken' On your wedding anniversary Whatever you do, don't yourself too much Or berate either Your choices are chance, so are everybody else's
Enjoy your body, use it way you can Don't be of it or what other people think of it It's the greatest you'll ever own Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living Read the directions even if you follow them Do not beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly
Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for Be nice to your siblings, they're best link to your past And the people most likely to with you in the future
Understand that friends and go But a precious few, who hold on
hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle For as the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you young Live in New City once but leave before it makes you hard Live in California once but leave before it makes you soft
Accept certain inalienable Prices will rise, politicians philander, you, too, will get old And when you do, you'll that when you were young Prices were reasonable, politicians were And children their elders
Respect your
Don't expect anyone else to you Maybe you a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse But you never know when either one run out
Don't mess too much with hair Or by the time 40 it will look 85
Be careful whose you buy but be patient with those who supply it Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of the past From the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the parts And recycling it for more than worth
But me on the sunscreen
