dear 26 year old Dan, 
 by now you probably graduated college, if not then you better be going for 6 years of education. By now you should have a job with your bachelor's degree, a nice house in the suburbs, and if you have a wife by then, make sure to buy the gun youn always wanted, her protection and that of your family is one of your priorites. Don't forget to exercise daily and eat healthy. goodbye
sincerely, 
16 year old Dan
