Impress yourself. Not because you are worth it, whatever that means. Not because you were on your feet at work for nine hours today. And definitely not because you want to impress anybody else. Tricking other people is cruel. Tricking yourself is clever.
People are funny that way. Facing reality and all. People think that because they can't afford something they can't have it. I'm not saying to go out and steal Air Jordans, but there are ways around it. Fake it until you make it. You like Coach? Shop at Ross. You like gourmet food? Buy low sell high.
Impress yourself. You would be surprised at how gullible you are. A simple Totino's Party Pizza, a few slices of fresh, plump tomato, a fresh basil leaf and a drizzle of olive oil are all you need for a night of fine dining on your familiar lumpy living room couch. And an oven, you need an oven too. And you need about 15 min. prep time. But that isn't asking a lot.
People are funny that way. Laying out tomato slices, putting basil on them like you know what you are doing, and pouring olive oil over the whole pie more delicately than you would shower a baby because the good stuff is expensive. College is expensive. Trick yourself and thank me.
