You decided you would rather get money than have it taken from you. After weeks of looking for a job nothing was looking good, definitely didn't help you were afraid to tell your parents of your rising worries - good thing there are friends though. Your best bud Anthony tells you to go with him to a party tonight. You don't really like hanging out with 'Ant' - not because he is an ass or anything but because you don't think you fit in to his crowd.
