Lab #3 - Advice to Tony at 18

1.  Everything is impossible to complete until you start it.
2.  Do not expect your life to fall into age-defined goals.  It won't.
3.  Don't worry about going to community college when everyone else is going to universities.  They seem to have everything figured out, but you will be surprised to learn that they won't be doing what they went to school for.  When you figure it out, you will be old enough with more experience behind you to do things better.  And it will be fun.
4.  Quit smoking.  You've only been doing it for a few years now, and even though you say you'll quit when you're older, older catches up quicker.  Which brings me to...
5.  Appreciate your youth.  The older you get the quicker the years pass.
6.  Take chances with the girls you like.  Talk to them.  Ask them on dates.  You will find out later that they liked you the whole time and you didn't make a move.
7.  For God's sake, stop worrying about your future.  Your were born with talents that are not going to allow your life to be plannable for the next decade.  
8.  Don't put your dreams on hold.  They are attainable and you will find that doing anything else will just make you miserable.
9.  Have confidence.  People around you don't have all the answers you think they do.
10.  Have fun.  You will find your voice simply doing what entertains you.
11.  Start reading.  You are a storyteller and films shouldn't be the only media to explore.
