This is my favorite online video. It is very inspirational, and from all the adults I've asked, it's true down to every word. It was initially a graduation essay written by Mary Theresa Smith called Everybody is Free (To Wear Sunscreen). During our high school years, even though I know it has been said millions of times before, we need to realize that life is precious and fleeting.
enjoy.

It was actually a column written by Mary Schmich. Here is the original:

In 1999, when this song came out, I "graduataed" from fifth grade, and the school used that song and that video during the ceremony. It was nice, in a cheesy and commercial sort of way. The message is nice, except its been popularized by the guy who cast Leonardo diCaprio as Romeo.
It's much easier being politically incorrect.
