Enjoy the and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay you and how fabulous you really looked... not as fat as you Imagine.
Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things never crossed your worried mind. The kind that blindside you at 4pm on some Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that you.
Sing.
Don't be reckless other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
waste your time on jealousy; Sometimes ahead, Sometimes behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only yourself.

Whatever you do, don't Congratulate yourself too much or yourself either. choices are half chance, so are everybody else's. Enjoy your body, Use it every way you can...

Get to know your parents, you never when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your They are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick you in the future.
Understand friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the you need the people you knew when you were young.

Travel.
Accept inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will Philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect elders.
Don't anyone else to support you. you have a trust fund, Maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the you're 40, it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
But me on the sunscreen...
