  • Zoning out to daydream about epic fight scenes while your friends ask you which person is more attractive to you. 
  • Thinking about getting married for the tax benefits, and the idea of political marriages isn’t so weird to you.
  • Eating all of food at parties because everyone else is hooking up, and someone has to do it.
