15 Reasons to "Treat Yo' Self" This Weekend

Tom and Donna from the television show "Parks and Recreation" have always stressed that treating yourself is a top priority. Basically, treating yourself involves spending money, relaxing, eating at fancy restaurants, etc. Just because Tom and Donna are fictional characters doesn't mean you can't learn a few lessons from them! Here are a few good reasons to take their advice and "treat yo' self".

1. Because you had a long, stressful week.

2. Because you got a good grade on an exam...

3. ...or because you failed an exam.

4. Because you haven't used your credit card in far too long.

5. Because you're not feeling like yourself.

6. Because you feel on top of the world.

7. Because you went to every class this week.

8. Because you haven't cried in, like, two weeks.

9. Because you're bored and have nothing else better to do.

10. Because you got paid.

11. Because you need some variety in your diet outside of Easy Mac and instant oatmeal.

12. Because money is meant to be spent, isn't it?

13. Because you actually got yourself to go to the gym.

14. Because if you don't treat yourself, no one else will.

15. Because you just frickin' want to.

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
