Everybody's Free

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’97

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. 
I will dispense advice now. 
  • Don’t worry about the future.
  • Do one thing everyday that scares you. 
  • Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
  • Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself. 
  • Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults.
  • Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t. 
  • Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. 
  • Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good. 
  • Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.
  • Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. 
  • Travel. 
Trust me on the sunscreen…
