It was not worth it. Unless you got laid. Then it's always worth it.
Making promises you can't keep.
Repeat after me: I'll try, but I can't make any promises.
Eating whatever you want whenever you want.
Make that a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger. I'm watching my figure.
Dating without thinking about the future.
You're an aspiring model? Tell me more.
Being completely selfish.
In your thirties, you'll have "meaningful relationships." No thanks.
