I was nervous about an upcoming job interview recently_comma_ I bought a new outfit and got a haircut to make myself feel better. Do you feel any less nervous?  Job interviews are always nerve-wracking 
current: Yea, it made me feel better about myself and my chances, or maybe i just like spending money
