Ladies and of the class of '99 Wear
If I could you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it The long-term benefits of sunscreen have proved by scientists Whereas the rest of my has no basis more reliable my own meandering experience, I will dispense this advice now
Enjoy the and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind You will not understand the power and of your youth Until they've faded but trust me, in 20 years, look back At photos of yourself and recall in a way you grasp now How much possibility lay before you and how you really looked You are not as fat as you
Don't worry about the Or know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by bubble gum The real troubles in your life are apt to be things never crossed your worried mind The kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on idle Tuesday Do one thing every day that you
Don't be with other people's hearts Don't put up with who are reckless with yours
Don't waste your time on Sometimes ahead, sometimes you're behind The race is and in the end, it's only with yourself Remember you receive, forget the insults, if you succeed in doing this, tell me how Keep your old letters, throw away your old bank statements
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with life. The most interesting people I know didn't at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives Some of the most interesting I know still don't Get of calcium Be kind to knees You'll miss them they're gone
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you Maybe have children, maybe you won't Maybe divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the 'Funky Chicken' On your 75th anniversary Whatever you do, don't congratulate too much Or berate either Your choices are half chance, so are else's
Enjoy body, use it every way you can Don't be afraid of it or what other people of it It's the greatest instrument ever own Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but own living room Read the directions even if you don't them Do not read beauty magazines, will only make you feel ugly
Get to know your parents, you know when they'll be gone for good Be nice to your siblings, they're your best link to past And the people most likely to stick with you in the
that friends come and go But a precious few, who should on
Work hard to bridge the gaps in and lifestyle For as the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you young Live in New York City once but leave before it makes you Live in northern California but leave before it makes you soft
Accept certain truths Prices will rise, will philander, you, too, will get old And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you young Prices were reasonable, were noble And respected their elders
your elders
Don't expect anyone to support you Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe have a wealthy spouse But you never know when either one run out
mess too much with your hair Or by the time 40 it will look 85
Be whose advice you buy but be patient with those who supply it Advice is a of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts And recycling it for more it's worth
But me on the sunscreen
