hello class of 2005. sorry i'm late, i was in a meeting. i can make this quick, boil it down to it's essence, cut to the chase...
well, sorry... here goes:
most of the time shit won't work out. and when it does, you usually won't be able to figure out how it did.
everybody's unsure of themselves. you have to pretend like you're not.
nobody wants to hear about your problems. people don't want to hear about any problems. don't be so damn negative. people respond to positive attitude and energy.
give a shit.
it's not a sale until you get the check. the fucking you get ain't worth the fucking you get.
etc., etc.
oh, and if you don't ask you don't get. that's the biggest one.
don't lie to yourself. lie to other people only when you have to. don't pretend to be someone you're not, that shit will come back to bite you every time. don't try to fit into clothes that are too small. it looks stupid.
people will treat you how you let them.
bathe.
wondering sucks. go find out. whatever it is, give it a shot. remember, it's probably not going to work out, anyway. most likely, it'll fail. but what if it doesn't fail? then where will you be?
before you know it, you'll be dead. stop wasting time. put your damn collar down.
honestly, if you don't speak up for yourself no one else will.
every day is a little shorter than the day before. the summer's over halfway done. your life might be too, for all you know.
okay, have at it.
