The alternative definition of a guilty pleasure is simply following your heart instead of your head. A guilty pleasure absolves all logic and is completely hedonistic. I have a little bit of an issue when it comes to saying no to my hedonistic desires...in fact I usually don't say no at all. I used to say no, even last semester I was completely disciplined when it came to partying, money, drinking, shopping, etc....but this semester I'm really getting into immediate gratification and getting exactly what I want; I just can't seem to say no.
