Practice Tchaikovsky
Till your fingers bleed
Study hard to ace your SATs
Find a partner
Someone to share your life with
Someone to soothe you when you get a joint disease
 
These are the rules of life
And we must abide if we want to be
Written up in history
These are the rules of life
And we must comply if we wanna be
Everything we're meant to be in life
These are simply the rules of life
 
Have a baby
Do some candy striping
Learn to trip on a mug of Earl Grey (or herbal) tea
Write a novel
And light some Goddess candles
Maybe a miracle can get you back on track
