If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it...
Don't worry about the future. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday :)
Do one thing everyday that scares you.
Don't waste your time on jealousy, sometimes you are ahead, sometimes you are behind, the race is long and at the end, it's only with yourself.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what to do with your life. Some of 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. Whatever you do don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody's else.
Enjoy your body, don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it's the greatest instrument you will ever own. Dance.
Read the directions even if you don't follow them.
Don't read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents. They are your best link to the past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
...But trust me on the sunscreen.
Pedro is my baby brother! He's not a baby anymore but you know how sisters refuse to watch their brothers grow up.
