Like nobody's telling us, oh, you should eat at restaurants more often.

That's not happening.

It's just like the convenience, the temptation of going to a restaurant is very strong.

So we're trying to stick to our guns.

We're trying to not go and eat at restaurants as often.

However, there is always that temptation of the convenience of restaurants, which makes it sometimes difficult to just stay at home and eat

home cooked meals.

So yeah, that that just shows that the pressure or the temptation could be from other people or not always from other people.

Sometimes it can just be from life itself.

Okay, well, I think we have talked about this enough.

Why don't we jump in and listen to a couple of conversation examples where we can hear this expression, stick to your guns used in a natural way.

And for our first conversation example, we're gonna hear two college roommates talking and one of them is trying to convince the other to skip studying and go to a party.

So we have a peer pressure situation here.

Let's eavesdrop in and take a listen to their conversation right now.

Here we go.

Come on, just come to the party for an hour.

Everyone's going to be there.

Just wake up early tomorrow and study.

In this conversation, we heard two college roommates talking and one of the roommates was trying to get the other one to go out to a party.

However, she stuck to her guns and said, I'm not going to the party because I have an exam on Monday and
