There’s this commencement speech written by Mary Schmich of the Chicago Tribune in 1997 called “Wear Sunscreen”. You’ve probably heard it. It was later recorded with background music, and I’ve heard it quoted at several graduation ceremonies over the years. If you are not familiar or need a dose of inspiration, have a listen here.

I imagined Rosie from the Jetsons delivering room service and a pod equipped with a Death Star control panel just incase I wanted to wage war with my pod mates.
