Wear sunscreen...
Wear sunscreen.
If i could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've 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 before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. 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 every day that scares you.
Sing.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
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.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. 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.
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.
Accept certain 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 your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll 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 time 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 over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.

12 geekiest fashion accessories
TWITTER STOCKING
There is this stereotypical image of geeky women as being boring, reclusive, career oriented types but this is just a myth, in reality, they do multitask, head for parties on weekends and they do splurge a lot on exclusive signature styles. The geeky chics who are always on social networking sites will simply love to sport these FOLLOW ME Twitter Tattoo Stockings for weekend outing or party. These thigh high white socks seem to be inspired by the most popular social networking site Twitter, the twitter birdie and the words ‘follow me' printed on the stockings are so deceptive that they almost seem to be tattooed on the long legs. These stockings will surely draw a lot of attention and people will ‘follow' more out of curiosity.
PROJECTOR RING
This cool geeky ring was created by Luke Jerram and jeweler Tamrakar for Jerram's wedding to Shelina Nanji. Inside the ring there are tiny photographic portraits of the couple. When you shine a light through the ring, it projects the images out like a tiny projector. The ring was made by hacking apart a disposable camera to get the lens.
TETRIS BRACELET
This Tetris bracelet is a great geeky accessory to add to your collection. It can be teamed up with any casual outfit to look trendy yet geeky. It costs $70 and it's a little pricey for a bracelet. It says 'Game Over', but with Tetris you keep wanting more
KEYBOARD CUFFLINKS
These cufflinks are one of those accessories that are definitely subtle enough to be considered fashionable— who really stares at cufflinks? From insert/delete buttons to @ keys to escape, these silver links are sure to add a touch of chic to any geek.
LEGO PURSE
This Lego Pouch really fits well within the realm of acceptable geeky accessories. On this sweet little purse (mighty useful when you don't want to take a whole bag), the building blocks manage to look cool and mod rather than like a kids' toy.
VIDEOGAME SHOES
You can add another nerdy accessory to your wardrobe with these shoes that have custom painted video game scenes on it. Most of the shoes are about old school games like Tetris, Pacman, Mario and Zelda. But if none of these styles catch your fancy, you can even have a pair made with your own video game design. You can order a pair of these custom geeky shoes at SceeneShoes Shop at Etsy.
PI NECKLACE
The Pi Necklace has all the digits of the nerd numbers out to 100 decimal places (yes, someone counted them!) Show your geek pride with numbers. Made by RGB Laboratory.
8-BIT WATCH
his Icon Watch is a simple, clean design that celebrates the days of 8-bit graphics. While the watch was designed by Japanese design firm & design back in 2005, it only recently became available for purchase at MOMA. They only sell the black and white version, but a white-on-white version is also in production.
POWER BOOK EARRINGS
How about some cool DIY earrings? These recycled PowerBook earrings fall somewhere in between solving all of our e-waste problems and showing that recycling can be geek chic.
PAC-MAN NECKLACE
If geeky yet fabulous jewelery is your thing, look no further. Check out this necklace / pendant by Rachel Pfeffer that's very unique. The design features a dangling Pac-Man munching on some hanging pearls. Who would've thought Pac-Man can devour pearls too? This piece of jewelery is very adorable and no Pac-Man fan will want to overlook it. Have Pac-Man munch away on pearls around your neck
CIRCUIT BOARD BUSINESS CARD HOLDER
Trying to stand out to potential clients? Next time you give them your contact information, whip out your circuit board business card holder ($24.99), and you're sure to make a lasting impression.
MY DOCUMENT LAPTOP SLEEVE
What could be more geeky than this My Document laptop sleeve, styled like a My Documents folder? The My Document Laptop Sleeve is made from Neoprene, and measures 38cm (L) 32.5cm (W) and 2.5cm (D) and it even has its own pixilated cursur on the front. This geeky accessory can take laptops up to 15.4 inches, and surprisingly it is Mac and Linux compatible.
