Overall, I really enjoyed watching the video on minimalism and hearing the various real-life
stories and lessons that go with the concept. The video began by mentioning the addiction
society has with materialistic things and I feel that this fact is obvious to most humans. That
being said, it is still so widely ignored. It is sad to think that we place so much value on tangible
objects without thinking why they hold value. If people really took the time to think of the
value in all their objects and impulsive buying they might realize how meaningless it is. I
definitely feel that I contribute to this aimless aspect of buying and consuming in society to
keep up with the latest trends and fashion. Yesterday my mom and I finalized a trip she had
been planning for her 50th birthday and immediately I was focused on what cute clothes I could
not buy to bring with me. I now realize how ridiculous that is because I have mounds of summer
clothes in my room that I have never touched since the pandemic began. This makes me think
of another aspect of the video that mentioned the difference in fashion of the past and present.
The documentary mentioned that women back then shopped for two seasons - warm and cold.
Now, there are 52 cycles of seasons and every week fashion is being considered outdated. This
makes me realize why I felt not content with the new, unworn clothes in my closet because
society has deemed them past season. The clothes are definitely not what are important or what
I should be focused on for this vacation.
My brother, who is in the army and stationed in Georgia, will also be there with his son and
that is the most important aspect of this vacation along with my mother’s 50th. I definitely now
see how getting to spend time with my mom, my brother and nephew who I have not seen in
two years should be the mainfocus of my thoughts and not the outfits in which I will be wearing
for dinner! Getting the chance to watch this video made me realize the aspects of my life that
I have control over and social media does not. My clothing and style are just one example of
how I should be wearing clothes that make me happy and feel good versus what is considered
to be trending. Social media does not control any aspect of my life but for some reason I have
always let it have an impact on the way I view myself and my success. A lot of trends I have
actually already seen coming back around from when I was a child in the very early 2000’s.
This goes to show how fashion does run out of ideas as all old trends begin to cycle back in as
new. Another point in the video that resonated with me was the speaker who mentioned
becoming a partner at his firm and quitting his job that same day. This man told a very relatable
story that I feel most college graduates can resonate with in some way. He began with
explainingthe way he picked his occupation aimlessly in order to gain the most financial
success in the future. He ended up succeeding in this mission and got the highest honor in his
job only to feel trapped and lost in the world he had not created or wanted. I know when I was
growing up I always said I was going to be a Psychology major and often got critique for it. I
was told it was not the highest paying occupation and that I should be a doctor, lawyer, or
business woman instead. I am so ecstatic with the fact that I always stayed true to my happiness
and calling to help people versus what societal ruling would have determined for me. I can
even see the ways in which psychology and mental health are becoming more recognized and
appreciated over the years as consumption and social media tear mental health down.
I think it is very sad the ways in which the idea of the American Dream and life fulfillment
have shifted so drastically. Like the video said, it no longer stands for opportunity andinstead
stands for materialistic objects. This idea is detrimental for future generations as kids willbe
growing up in a world where objects and people are seen as disposable. Overall, I really enjoyed
watching this video and listening to Joshua and Ryan share their stories along with those who
had similar realizations. I will probably end up getting their book Everything that Remains as
I am very intrigued by the pages read in the documentary. I will also never forget their last bit
of advice which was to love people and use things because the opposite will never work out.

society has deemed them past season. The clothes are definitely not what are important or what
I should be focused on for this vacation.
My brother, who is in the army and stationed in Georgia, will also be there with his son and
that is the most important aspect of this vacation along with my mother’s 50th. I definitely now
see how getting to spend time with my mom, my brother and nephew who I have not seen in
two years should be the mainfocus of my thoughts and not the outfits in which I will be wearing
for dinner! Getting the chance to watch this video made me realize the aspects of my life that
I have control over and social media does not. My clothing and style are just one example of
how I should be wearing clothes that make me happy and feel good versus what is considered
to be trending. Social media does not control any aspect of my life but for some reason I have
always let it have an impact on the way I view myself and my success. A lot of trends I have
actually already seen coming back around from when I was a child in the very early 2000’s.
This goes to show how fashion does run out of ideas as all old trends begin to cycle back in as
new. Another point in the video that resonated with me was the speaker who mentioned
becoming a partner at his firm and quitting his job that same day. This man told a very relatable
story that I feel most college graduates can resonate with in some way. He began with
explainingthe way he picked his occupation aimlessly in order to gain the most financial
success in the future. He ended up succeeding in this mission and got the highest honor in his
job only to feel trapped and lost in the world he had not created or wanted. I know when I was
growing up I always said I was going to be a Psychology major and often got critique for it. I
was told it was not the highest paying occupation and that I should be a doctor, lawyer, or
business woman instead. I am so ecstatic with the fact that I always stayed true to my happiness
and calling to help people versus what societal ruling would have determined for me. I can
even see the ways in which psychology and mental health are becoming more recognized and
appreciated over the years as consumption and social media tear mental health down.
I think it is very sad the ways in which the idea of the American Dream and life fulfillment
have shifted so drastically. Like the video said, it no longer stands for opportunity andinstead
stands for materialistic objects. This idea is detrimental for future generations as kids willbe
growing up in a world where objects and people are seen as disposable. Overall, I really enjoyed
watching this video and listening to Joshua and Ryan share their stories along with those who
had similar realizations. I will probably end up getting their book Everything that Remains as
I am very intrigued by the pages read in the documentary. I will also never forget their last bit
of advice which was to love people and use things because the opposite will never work out.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching the video on minimalism and hearing the various real-life
stories and lessons that go with the concept. The video began by mentioning the addiction
society has with materialistic things and I feel that this fact is obvious to most humans. That
being said, it is still so widely ignored. It is sad to think that we place so much value on tangible
objects without thinking why they hold value. If people really took the time to think of the
value in all their objects and impulsive buying they might realize how meaningless it is. I
definitely feel that I contribute to this aimless aspect of buying and consuming in society to
keep up with the latest trends and fashion. Yesterday my mom and I finalized a trip she had
been planning for her 50th birthday and immediately I was focused on what cute clothes I could
not buy to bring with me. I now realize how ridiculous that is because I have mounds of summer
clothes in my room that I have never touched since the pandemic began. This makes me think
of another aspect of the video that mentioned the difference in fashion of the past and present.
The documentary mentioned that women back then shopped for two seasons - warm and cold.

This goes to show how fashion does run out of ideas as all old trends begin to cycle back in as
new. Another point in the video that resonated with me was the speaker who mentioned
becoming a partner at his firm and quitting his job that same day. This man told a very relatable
story that I feel most college graduates can resonate with in some way. He began with
explainingthe way he picked his occupation aimlessly in order to gain the most financial
success in the future. He ended up succeeding in this mission and got the highest honor in his
job only to feel trapped and lost in the world he had not created or wanted. I know when I was
growing up I always said I was going to be a Psychology major and often got critique for it. I
was told it was not the highest paying occupation and that I should be a doctor, lawyer, or
business woman instead. I am so ecstatic with the fact that I always stayed true to my happiness
and calling to help people versus what societal ruling would have determined for me. I can
even see the ways in which psychology and mental health are becoming more recognized and
appreciated over the years as consumption and social media tear mental health down.
I think it is very sad the ways in which the idea of the American Dream and life fulfillment
have shifted so drastically. Like the video said, it no longer stands for opportunity andinstead
stands for materialistic objects. This idea is detrimental for future generations as kids willbe
growing up in a world where objects and people are seen as disposable. Overall, I really enjoyed
watching this video and listening to Joshua and Ryan share their stories along with those who
had similar realizations. I will probably end up getting their book Everything that Remains as
I am very intrigued by the pages read in the documentary. I will also never forget their last bit
of advice which was to love people and use things because the opposite will never work out.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching the video on minimalism and hearing the various real-life
stories and lessons that go with the concept. The video began by mentioning the addiction
society has with materialistic things and I feel that this fact is obvious to most humans. That
being said, it is still so widely ignored. It is sad to think that we place so much value on tangible
objects without thinking why they hold value. If people really took the time to think of the
value in all their objects and impulsive buying they might realize how meaningless it is. I
definitely feel that I contribute to this aimless aspect of buying and consuming in society to
keep up with the latest trends and fashion. Yesterday my mom and I finalized a trip she had
been planning for her 50th birthday and immediately I was focused on what cute clothes I could
not buy to bring with me. I now realize how ridiculous that is because I have mounds of summer
clothes in my room that I have never touched since the pandemic began. This makes me think
of another aspect of the video that mentioned the difference in fashion of the past and present.
The documentary mentioned that women back then shopped for two seasons - warm and cold.
Now, there are 52 cycles of seasons and every week fashion is being considered outdated. This
makes me realize why I felt not content with the new, unworn clothes in my closet because
society has deemed them past season. The clothes are definitely not what are important or what
I should be focused on for this vacation.
My brother, who is in the army and stationed in Georgia, will also be there with his son and
that is the most important aspect of this vacation along with my mother’s 50th. I definitely now
see how getting to spend time with my mom, my brother and nephew who I have not seen in
two years should be the mainfocus of my thoughts and not the outfits in which I will be wearing
for dinner! Getting the chance to watch this video made me realize the aspects of my life that
I have control over and social media does not. My clothing and style are just one example of
how I should be wearing clothes that make me happy and feel good versus what is considered
to be trending. Social media does not control any aspect of my life but for some reason I have
always let it have an impact on the way I view myself and my success. A lot of trends I have

appreciated over the years as consumption and social media tear mental health down.
I think it is very sad the ways in which the idea of the American Dream and life fulfillment
have shifted so drastically. Like the video said, it no longer stands for opportunity andinstead
stands for materialistic objects. This idea is detrimental for future generations as kids willbe
growing up in a world where objects and people are seen as disposable. Overall, I really enjoyed
watching this video and listening to Joshua and Ryan share their stories along with those who
had similar realizations. I will probably end up getting their book Everything that Remains as
I am very intrigued by the pages read in the documentary. I will also never forget their last bit
of advice which was to love people and use things because the opposite will never work out.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching the video on minimalism and hearing the various real-life
stories and lessons that go with the concept. The video began by mentioning the addiction
society has with materialistic things and I feel that this fact is obvious to most humans. That
being said, it is still so widely ignored. It is sad to think that we place so much value on tangible
objects without thinking why they hold value. If people really took the time to think of the
value in all their objects and impulsive buying they might realize how meaningless it is. I
definitely feel that I contribute to this aimless aspect of buying and consuming in society to
keep up with the latest trends and fashion. Yesterday my mom and I finalized a trip she had
been planning for her 50th birthday and immediately I was focused on what cute clothes I could
not buy to bring with me. I now realize how ridiculous that is because I have mounds of summer
clothes in my room that I have never touched since the pandemic began. This makes me think
of another aspect of the video that mentioned the difference in fashion of the past and present.
The documentary mentioned that women back then shopped for two seasons - warm and cold.
Now, there are 52 cycles of seasons and every week fashion is being considered outdated. This
makes me realize why I felt not content with the new, unworn clothes in my closet because
society has deemed them past season. The clothes are definitely not what are important or what
I should be focused on for this vacation.
My brother, who is in the army and stationed in Georgia, will also be there with his son and
that is the most important aspect of this vacation along with my mother’s 50th. I definitely now
see how getting to spend time with my mom, my brother and nephew who I have not seen in
two years should be the mainfocus of my thoughts and not the outfits in which I will be wearing
for dinner! Getting the chance to watch this video made me realize the aspects of my life that
I have control over and social media does not. My clothing and style are just one example of
how I should be wearing clothes that make me happy and feel good versus what is considered
to be trending. Social media does not control any aspect of my life but for some reason I have
always let it have an impact on the way I view myself and my success. A lot of trends I have
actually already seen coming back around from when I was a child in the very early 2000’s.
This goes to show how fashion does run out of ideas as all old trends begin to cycle back in as
new. Another point in the video that resonated with me was the speaker who mentioned
becoming a partner at his firm and quitting his job that same day. This man told a very relatable
story that I feel most college graduates can resonate with in some way. He began with
explainingthe way he picked his occupation aimlessly in order to gain the most financial
success in the future. He ended up succeeding in this mission and got the highest honor in his
job only to feel trapped and lost in the world he had not created or wanted. I know when I was
growing up I always said I was going to be a Psychology major and often got critique for it. I
was told it was not the highest paying occupation and that I should be a doctor, lawyer, or
business woman instead. I am so ecstatic with the fact that I always stayed true to my happiness
and calling to help people versus what societal ruling would have determined for me. I can
even see the ways in which psychology and mental health are becoming more recognized and
appreciated over the years as consumption and social media tear mental health down.

objects without thinking why they hold value. If people really took the time to think of the
value in all their objects and impulsive buying they might realize how meaningless it is. I
definitely feel that I contribute to this aimless aspect of buying and consuming in society to
keep up with the latest trends and fashion. Yesterday my mom and I finalized a trip she had
been planning for her 50th birthday and immediately I was focused on what cute clothes I could
not buy to bring with me. I now realize how ridiculous that is because I have mounds of summer
clothes in my room that I have never touched since the pandemic began. This makes me think
of another aspect of the video that mentioned the difference in fashion of the past and present.
The documentary mentioned that women back then shopped for two seasons - warm and cold.
Now, there are 52 cycles of seasons and every week fashion is being considered outdated. This
makes me realize why I felt not content with the new, unworn clothes in my closet because
society has deemed them past season. The clothes are definitely not what are important or what
I should be focused on for this vacation.
My brother, who is in the army and stationed in Georgia, will also be there with his son and
that is the most important aspect of this vacation along with my mother’s 50th. I definitely now
see how getting to spend time with my mom, my brother and nephew who I have not seen in
two years should be the mainfocus of my thoughts and not the outfits in which I will be wearing
for dinner! Getting the chance to watch this video made me realize the aspects of my life that
I have control over and social media does not. My clothing and style are just one example of
how I should be wearing clothes that make me happy and feel good versus what is considered
to be trending. Social media does not control any aspect of my life but for some reason I have
always let it have an impact on the way I view myself and my success. A lot of trends I have
actually already seen coming back around from when I was a child in the very early 2000’s.
This goes to show how fashion does run out of ideas as all old trends begin to cycle back in as
new. Another point in the video that resonated with me was the speaker who mentioned
becoming a partner at his firm and quitting his job that same day. This man told a very relatable
story that I feel most college graduates can resonate with in some way. He began with
explainingthe way he picked his occupation aimlessly in order to gain the most financial
success in the future. He ended up succeeding in this mission and got the highest honor in his
job only to feel trapped and lost in the world he had not created or wanted. I know when I was
growing up I always said I was going to be a Psychology major and often got critique for it. I
was told it was not the highest paying occupation and that I should be a doctor, lawyer, or
business woman instead. I am so ecstatic with the fact that I always stayed true to my happiness
and calling to help people versus what societal ruling would have determined for me. I can
even see the ways in which psychology and mental health are becoming more recognized and
appreciated over the years as consumption and social media tear mental health down.
I think it is very sad the ways in which the idea of the American Dream and life fulfillment
have shifted so drastically. Like the video said, it no longer stands for opportunity andinstead
stands for materialistic objects. This idea is detrimental for future generations as kids willbe
growing up in a world where objects and people are seen as disposable. Overall, I really enjoyed
watching this video and listening to Joshua and Ryan share their stories along with those who
had similar realizations. I will probably end up getting their book Everything that Remains as
I am very intrigued by the pages read in the documentary. I will also never forget their last bit
of advice which was to love people and use things because the opposite will never work out.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching the video on minimalism and hearing the various real-life
stories and lessons that go with the concept. The video began by mentioning the addiction
society has with materialistic things and I feel that this fact is obvious to most humans. That
being said, it is still so widely ignored. It is sad to think that we place so much value on tangible

My brother, who is in the army and stationed in Georgia, will also be there with his son and
that is the most important aspect of this vacation along with my mother’s 50th. I definitely now
see how getting to spend time with my mom, my brother and nephew who I have not seen in
two years should be the mainfocus of my thoughts and not the outfits in which I will be wearing
for dinner! Getting the chance to watch this video made me realize the aspects of my life that
I have control over and social media does not. My clothing and style are just one example of
how I should be wearing clothes that make me happy and feel good versus what is considered
to be trending. Social media does not control any aspect of my life but for some reason I have
always let it have an impact on the way I view myself and my success. A lot of trends I have
actually already seen coming back around from when I was a child in the very early 2000’s.
This goes to show how fashion does run out of ideas as all old trends begin to cycle back in as
new. Another point in the video that resonated with me was the speaker who mentioned
becoming a partner at his firm and quitting his job that same day. This man told a very relatable
story that I feel most college graduates can resonate with in some way. He began with
explainingthe way he picked his occupation aimlessly in order to gain the most financial
success in the future. He ended up succeeding in this mission and got the highest honor in his
job only to feel trapped and lost in the world he had not created or wanted. I know when I was
growing up I always said I was going to be a Psychology major and often got critique for it. I
was told it was not the highest paying occupation and that I should be a doctor, lawyer, or
business woman instead. I am so ecstatic with the fact that I always stayed true to my happiness
and calling to help people versus what societal ruling would have determined for me. I can
even see the ways in which psychology and mental health are becoming more recognized and
appreciated over the years as consumption and social media tear mental health down.
I think it is very sad the ways in which the idea of the American Dream and life fulfillment
have shifted so drastically. Like the video said, it no longer stands for opportunity andinstead
stands for materialistic objects. This idea is detrimental for future generations as kids willbe
growing up in a world where objects and people are seen as disposable. Overall, I really enjoyed
watching this video and listening to Joshua and Ryan share their stories along with those who
had similar realizations. I will probably end up getting their book Everything that Remains as
I am very intrigued by the pages read in the documentary. I will also never forget their last bit
of advice which was to love people and use things because the opposite will never work out.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching the video on minimalism and hearing the various real-life
stories and lessons that go with the concept. The video began by mentioning the addiction
society has with materialistic things and I feel that this fact is obvious to most humans. That
being said, it is still so widely ignored. It is sad to think that we place so much value on tangible
objects without thinking why they hold value. If people really took the time to think of the
value in all their objects and impulsive buying they might realize how meaningless it is. I
definitely feel that I contribute to this aimless aspect of buying and consuming in society to
keep up with the latest trends and fashion. Yesterday my mom and I finalized a trip she had
been planning for her 50th birthday and immediately I was focused on what cute clothes I could
not buy to bring with me. I now realize how ridiculous that is because I have mounds of summer
clothes in my room that I have never touched since the pandemic began. This makes me think
of another aspect of the video that mentioned the difference in fashion of the past and present.
The documentary mentioned that women back then shopped for two seasons - warm and cold.
Now, there are 52 cycles of seasons and every week fashion is being considered outdated. This
makes me realize why I felt not content with the new, unworn clothes in my closet because
society has deemed them past season. The clothes are definitely not what are important or what
I should be focused on for this vacation.

becoming a partner at his firm and quitting his job that same day. This man told a very relatable
story that I feel most college graduates can resonate with in some way. He began with
explainingthe way he picked his occupation aimlessly in order to gain the most financial
success in the future. He ended up succeeding in this mission and got the highest honor in his
job only to feel trapped and lost in the world he had not created or wanted. I know when I was
growing up I always said I was going to be a Psychology major and often got critique for it. I
was told it was not the highest paying occupation and that I should be a doctor, lawyer, or
business woman instead. I am so ecstatic with the fact that I always stayed true to my happiness
and calling to help people versus what societal ruling would have determined for me. I can
even see the ways in which psychology and mental health are becoming more recognized and
appreciated over the years as consumption and social media tear mental health down.
I think it is very sad the ways in which the idea of the American Dream and life fulfillment
have shifted so drastically. Like the video said, it no longer stands for opportunity andinstead
stands for materialistic objects. This idea is detrimental for future generations as kids willbe
growing up in a world where objects and people are seen as disposable. Overall, I really enjoyed
watching this video and listening to Joshua and Ryan share their stories along with those who
had similar realizations. I will probably end up getting their book Everything that Remains as
I am very intrigued by the pages read in the documentary. I will also never forget their last bit
of advice which was to love people and use things because the opposite will never work out.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching the video on minimalism and hearing the various real-life
stories and lessons that go with the concept. The video began by mentioning the addiction
society has with materialistic things and I feel that this fact is obvious to most humans. That
being said, it is still so widely ignored. It is sad to think that we place so much value on tangible
objects without thinking why they hold value. If people really took the time to think of the
value in all their objects and impulsive buying they might realize how meaningless it is. I
definitely feel that I contribute to this aimless aspect of buying and consuming in society to
keep up with the latest trends and fashion. Yesterday my mom and I finalized a trip she had
been planning for her 50th birthday and immediately I was focused on what cute clothes I could
not buy to bring with me. I now realize how ridiculous that is because I have mounds of summer
clothes in my room that I have never touched since the pandemic began. This makes me think
of another aspect of the video that mentioned the difference in fashion of the past and present.
The documentary mentioned that women back then shopped for two seasons - warm and cold.
Now, there are 52 cycles of seasons and every week fashion is being considered outdated. This
makes me realize why I felt not content with the new, unworn clothes in my closet because
society has deemed them past season. The clothes are definitely not what are important or what
I should be focused on for this vacation.
My brother, who is in the army and stationed in Georgia, will also be there with his son and
that is the most important aspect of this vacation along with my mother’s 50th. I definitely now
see how getting to spend time with my mom, my brother and nephew who I have not seen in
two years should be the mainfocus of my thoughts and not the outfits in which I will be wearing
for dinner! Getting the chance to watch this video made me realize the aspects of my life that
I have control over and social media does not. My clothing and style are just one example of
how I should be wearing clothes that make me happy and feel good versus what is considered
to be trending. Social media does not control any aspect of my life but for some reason I have
always let it have an impact on the way I view myself and my success. A lot of trends I have
actually already seen coming back around from when I was a child in the very early 2000’s.

stands for materialistic objects. This idea is detrimental for future generations as kids willbe
growing up in a world where objects and people are seen as disposable. Overall, I really enjoyed
watching this video and listening to Joshua and Ryan share their stories along with those who
had similar realizations. I will probably end up getting their book Everything that Remains as
I am very intrigued by the pages read in the documentary. I will also never forget their last bit
of advice which was to love people and use things because the opposite will never work out.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching the video on minimalism and hearing the various real-life
stories and lessons that go with the concept. The video began by mentioning the addiction
society has with materialistic things and I feel that this fact is obvious to most humans. That
being said, it is still so widely ignored. It is sad to think that we place so much value on tangible
objects without thinking why they hold value. If people really took the time to think of the
value in all their objects and impulsive buying they might realize how meaningless it is. I
definitely feel that I contribute to this aimless aspect of buying and consuming in society to
keep up with the latest trends and fashion. Yesterday my mom and I finalized a trip she had
been planning for her 50th birthday and immediately I was focused on what cute clothes I could
not buy to bring with me. I now realize how ridiculous that is because I have mounds of summer
clothes in my room that I have never touched since the pandemic began. This makes me think
of another aspect of the video that mentioned the difference in fashion of the past and present.
The documentary mentioned that women back then shopped for two seasons - warm and cold.
Now, there are 52 cycles of seasons and every week fashion is being considered outdated. This
makes me realize why I felt not content with the new, unworn clothes in my closet because
society has deemed them past season. The clothes are definitely not what are important or what
I should be focused on for this vacation.
My brother, who is in the army and stationed in Georgia, will also be there with his son and
that is the most important aspect of this vacation along with my mother’s 50th. I definitely now
see how getting to spend time with my mom, my brother and nephew who I have not seen in
two years should be the mainfocus of my thoughts and not the outfits in which I will be wearing
for dinner! Getting the chance to watch this video made me realize the aspects of my life that
I have control over and social media does not. My clothing and style are just one example of
how I should be wearing clothes that make me happy and feel good versus what is considered
to be trending. Social media does not control any aspect of my life but for some reason I have
always let it have an impact on the way I view myself and my success. A lot of trends I have
actually already seen coming back around from when I was a child in the very early 2000’s.
This goes to show how fashion does run out of ideas as all old trends begin to cycle back in as
new. Another point in the video that resonated with me was the speaker who mentioned
becoming a partner at his firm and quitting his job that same day. This man told a very relatable
story that I feel most college graduates can resonate with in some way. He began with
explainingthe way he picked his occupation aimlessly in order to gain the most financial
success in the future. He ended up succeeding in this mission and got the highest honor in his
job only to feel trapped and lost in the world he had not created or wanted. I know when I was
growing up I always said I was going to be a Psychology major and often got critique for it. I
was told it was not the highest paying occupation and that I should be a doctor, lawyer, or
business woman instead. I am so ecstatic with the fact that I always stayed true to my happiness
and calling to help people versus what societal ruling would have determined for me. I can
even see the ways in which psychology and mental health are becoming more recognized and
appreciated over the years as consumption and social media tear mental health down.

keep up with the latest trends and fashion. Yesterday my mom and I finalized a trip she had
been planning for her 50th birthday and immediately I was focused on what cute clothes I could
not buy to bring with me. I now realize how ridiculous that is because I have mounds of summer
clothes in my room that I have never touched since the pandemic began. This makes me think
of another aspect of the video that mentioned the difference in fashion of the past and present.
The documentary mentioned that women back then shopped for two seasons - warm and cold.
Now, there are 52 cycles of seasons and every week fashion is being considered outdated. This
makes me realize why I felt not content with the new, unworn clothes in my closet because
society has deemed them past season. The clothes are definitely not what are important or what
I should be focused on for this vacation.
My brother, who is in the army and stationed in Georgia, will also be there with his son and
that is the most important aspect of this vacation along with my mother’s 50th. I definitely now
see how getting to spend time with my mom, my brother and nephew who I have not seen in
two years should be the mainfocus of my thoughts and not the outfits in which I will be wearing
for dinner! Getting the chance to watch this video made me realize the aspects of my life that
I have control over and social media does not. My clothing and style are just one example of
how I should be wearing clothes that make me happy and feel good versus what is considered
to be trending. Social media does not control any aspect of my life but for some reason I have
always let it have an impact on the way I view myself and my success. A lot of trends I have
actually already seen coming back around from when I was a child in the very early 2000’s.
This goes to show how fashion does run out of ideas as all old trends begin to cycle back in as
new. Another point in the video that resonated with me was the speaker who mentioned
becoming a partner at his firm and quitting his job that same day. This man told a very relatable
story that I feel most college graduates can resonate with in some way. He began with
explainingthe way he picked his occupation aimlessly in order to gain the most financial
success in the future. He ended up succeeding in this mission and got the highest honor in his
job only to feel trapped and lost in the world he had not created or wanted. I know when I was
growing up I always said I was going to be a Psychology major and often got critique for it. I
was told it was not the highest paying occupation and that I should be a doctor, lawyer, or
business woman instead. I am so ecstatic with the fact that I always stayed true to my happiness
and calling to help people versus what societal ruling would have determined for me. I can
even see the ways in which psychology and mental health are becoming more recognized and
appreciated over the years as consumption and social media tear mental health down.
I think it is very sad the ways in which the idea of the American Dream and life fulfillment
have shifted so drastically. Like the video said, it no longer stands for opportunity andinstead
stands for materialistic objects. This idea is detrimental for future generations as kids willbe
growing up in a world where objects and people are seen as disposable. Overall, I really enjoyed
watching this video and listening to Joshua and Ryan share their stories along with those who
had similar realizations. I will probably end up getting their book Everything that Remains as
I am very intrigued by the pages read in the documentary. I will also never forget their last bit
of advice which was to love people and use things because the opposite will never work out.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching the video on minimalism and hearing the various real-life
stories and lessons that go with the concept. The video began by mentioning the addiction
society has with materialistic things and I feel that this fact is obvious to most humans. That
being said, it is still so widely ignored. It is sad to think that we place so much value on tangible
objects without thinking why they hold value. If people really took the time to think of the
value in all their objects and impulsive buying they might realize how meaningless it is. I

two years should be the mainfocus of my thoughts and not the outfits in which I will be wearing
for dinner! Getting the chance to watch this video made me realize the aspects of my life that
I have control over and social media does not. My clothing and style are just one example of
how I should be wearing clothes that make me happy and feel good versus what is considered
to be trending. Social media does not control any aspect of my life but for some reason I have
always let it have an impact on the way I view myself and my success. A lot of trends I have
actually already seen coming back around from when I was a child in the very early 2000’s.
This goes to show how fashion does run out of ideas as all old trends begin to cycle back in as
new. Another point in the video that resonated with me was the speaker who mentioned
becoming a partner at his firm and quitting his job that same day. This man told a very relatable
story that I feel most college graduates can resonate with in some way. He began with
explainingthe way he picked his occupation aimlessly in order to gain the most financial
success in the future. He ended up succeeding in this mission and got the highest honor in his
job only to feel trapped and lost in the world he had not created or wanted. I know when I was
growing up I always said I was going to be a Psychology major and often got critique for it. I
was told it was not the highest paying occupation and that I should be a doctor, lawyer, or
business woman instead. I am so ecstatic with the fact that I always stayed true to my happiness
and calling to help people versus what societal ruling would have determined for me. I can
even see the ways in which psychology and mental health are becoming more recognized and
appreciated over the years as consumption and social media tear mental health down.
I think it is very sad the ways in which the idea of the American Dream and life fulfillment
have shifted so drastically. Like the video said, it no longer stands for opportunity andinstead
stands for materialistic objects. This idea is detrimental for future generations as kids willbe
growing up in a world where objects and people are seen as disposable. Overall, I really enjoyed
watching this video and listening to Joshua and Ryan share their stories along with those who
had similar realizations. I will probably end up getting their book Everything that Remains as
I am very intrigued by the pages read in the documentary. I will also never forget their last bit
of advice which was to love people and use things because the opposite will never work out.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching the video on minimalism and hearing the various real-life
stories and lessons that go with the concept. The video began by mentioning the addiction
society has with materialistic things and I feel that this fact is obvious to most humans. That
being said, it is still so widely ignored. It is sad to think that we place so much value on tangible
objects without thinking why they hold value. If people really took the time to think of the
value in all their objects and impulsive buying they might realize how meaningless it is. I
definitely feel that I contribute to this aimless aspect of buying and consuming in society to
keep up with the latest trends and fashion. Yesterday my mom and I finalized a trip she had
been planning for her 50th birthday and immediately I was focused on what cute clothes I could
not buy to bring with me. I now realize how ridiculous that is because I have mounds of summer
clothes in my room that I have never touched since the pandemic began. This makes me think
of another aspect of the video that mentioned the difference in fashion of the past and present.
The documentary mentioned that women back then shopped for two seasons - warm and cold.
Now, there are 52 cycles of seasons and every week fashion is being considered outdated. This
makes me realize why I felt not content with the new, unworn clothes in my closet because
society has deemed them past season. The clothes are definitely not what are important or what
I should be focused on for this vacation.
My brother, who is in the army and stationed in Georgia, will also be there with his son and

success in the future. He ended up succeeding in this mission and got the highest honor in his
job only to feel trapped and lost in the world he had not created or wanted. I know when I was
growing up I always said I was going to be a Psychology major and often got critique for it. I
was told it was not the highest paying occupation and that I should be a doctor, lawyer, or
business woman instead. I am so ecstatic with the fact that I always stayed true to my happiness
and calling to help people versus what societal ruling would have determined for me. I can
even see the ways in which psychology and mental health are becoming more recognized and
appreciated over the years as consumption and social media tear mental health down.
I think it is very sad the ways in which the idea of the American Dream and life fulfillment
have shifted so drastically. Like the video said, it no longer stands for opportunity andinstead
stands for materialistic objects. This idea is detrimental for future generations as kids willbe
growing up in a world where objects and people are seen as disposable. Overall, I really enjoyed
watching this video and listening to Joshua and Ryan share their stories along with those who
had similar realizations. I will probably end up getting their book Everything that Remains as
I am very intrigued by the pages read in the documentary. I will also never forget their last bit
of advice which was to love people and use things because the opposite will never work out.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching the video on minimalism and hearing the various real-life
stories and lessons that go with the concept. The video began by mentioning the addiction
society has with materialistic things and I feel that this fact is obvious to most humans. That
being said, it is still so widely ignored. It is sad to think that we place so much value on tangible
objects without thinking why they hold value. If people really took the time to think of the
value in all their objects and impulsive buying they might realize how meaningless it is. I
definitely feel that I contribute to this aimless aspect of buying and consuming in society to
keep up with the latest trends and fashion. Yesterday my mom and I finalized a trip she had
been planning for her 50th birthday and immediately I was focused on what cute clothes I could
not buy to bring with me. I now realize how ridiculous that is because I have mounds of summer
clothes in my room that I have never touched since the pandemic began. This makes me think
of another aspect of the video that mentioned the difference in fashion of the past and present.
The documentary mentioned that women back then shopped for two seasons - warm and cold.
Now, there are 52 cycles of seasons and every week fashion is being considered outdated. This
makes me realize why I felt not content with the new, unworn clothes in my closet because
society has deemed them past season. The clothes are definitely not what are important or what
I should be focused on for this vacation.
My brother, who is in the army and stationed in Georgia, will also be there with his son and
that is the most important aspect of this vacation along with my mother’s 50th. I definitely now
see how getting to spend time with my mom, my brother and nephew who I have not seen in
two years should be the mainfocus of my thoughts and not the outfits in which I will be wearing
for dinner! Getting the chance to watch this video made me realize the aspects of my life that
I have control over and social media does not. My clothing and style are just one example of
how I should be wearing clothes that make me happy and feel good versus what is considered
to be trending. Social media does not control any aspect of my life but for some reason I have
always let it have an impact on the way I view myself and my success. A lot of trends I have
actually already seen coming back around from when I was a child in the very early 2000’s.
This goes to show how fashion does run out of ideas as all old trends begin to cycle back in as
new. Another point in the video that resonated with me was the speaker who mentioned
becoming a partner at his firm and quitting his job that same day. This man told a very relatable
story that I feel most college graduates can resonate with in some way. He began with
explainingthe way he picked his occupation aimlessly in order to gain the most financial
success in the future. He ended up succeeding in this mission and got the highest honor in his

had similar realizations. I will probably end up getting their book Everything that Remains as
I am very intrigued by the pages read in the documentary. I will also never forget their last bit
of advice which was to love people and use things because the opposite will never work out.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching the video on minimalism and hearing the various real-life
stories and lessons that go with the concept. The video began by mentioning the addiction
society has with materialistic things and I feel that this fact is obvious to most humans. That
being said, it is still so widely ignored. It is sad to think that we place so much value on tangible
objects without thinking why they hold value. If people really took the time to think of the
value in all their objects and impulsive buying they might realize how meaningless it is. I
definitely feel that I contribute to this aimless aspect of buying and consuming in society to
keep up with the latest trends and fashion. Yesterday my mom and I finalized a trip she had
been planning for her 50th birthday and immediately I was focused on what cute clothes I could
not buy to bring with me. I now realize how ridiculous that is because I have mounds of summer
clothes in my room that I have never touched since the pandemic began. This makes me think
of another aspect of the video that mentioned the difference in fashion of the past and present.
The documentary mentioned that women back then shopped for two seasons - warm and cold.
Now, there are 52 cycles of seasons and every week fashion is being considered outdated. This
makes me realize why I felt not content with the new, unworn clothes in my closet because
society has deemed them past season. The clothes are definitely not what are important or what
I should be focused on for this vacation.
My brother, who is in the army and stationed in Georgia, will also be there with his son and
that is the most important aspect of this vacation along with my mother’s 50th. I definitely now
see how getting to spend time with my mom, my brother and nephew who I have not seen in
two years should be the mainfocus of my thoughts and not the outfits in which I will be wearing
for dinner! Getting the chance to watch this video made me realize the aspects of my life that
I have control over and social media does not. My clothing and style are just one example of
how I should be wearing clothes that make me happy and feel good versus what is considered
to be trending. Social media does not control any aspect of my life but for some reason I have
always let it have an impact on the way I view myself and my success. A lot of trends I have
actually already seen coming back around from when I was a child in the very early 2000’s.
This goes to show how fashion does run out of ideas as all old trends begin to cycle back in as
new. Another point in the video that resonated with me was the speaker who mentioned
becoming a partner at his firm and quitting his job that same day. This man told a very relatable
story that I feel most college graduates can resonate with in some way. He began with
explainingthe way he picked his occupation aimlessly in order to gain the most financial
success in the future. He ended up succeeding in this mission and got the highest honor in his
job only to feel trapped and lost in the world he had not created or wanted. I know when I was
growing up I always said I was going to be a Psychology major and often got critique for it. I
was told it was not the highest paying occupation and that I should be a doctor, lawyer, or
business woman instead. I am so ecstatic with the fact that I always stayed true to my happiness
and calling to help people versus what societal ruling would have determined for me. I can
even see the ways in which psychology and mental health are becoming more recognized and
appreciated over the years as consumption and social media tear mental health down.
I think it is very sad the ways in which the idea of the American Dream and life fulfillment
have shifted so drastically. Like the video said, it no longer stands for opportunity andinstead
stands for materialistic objects. This idea is detrimental for future generations as kids willbe
growing up in a world where objects and people are seen as disposable. Overall, I really enjoyed

clothes in my room that I have never touched since the pandemic began. This makes me think
of another aspect of the video that mentioned the difference in fashion of the past and present.
The documentary mentioned that women back then shopped for two seasons - warm and cold.
Now, there are 52 cycles of seasons and every week fashion is being considered outdated. This
makes me realize why I felt not content with the new, unworn clothes in my closet because
society has deemed them past season. The clothes are definitely not what are important or what
I should be focused on for this vacation.
My brother, who is in the army and stationed in Georgia, will also be there with his son and
that is the most important aspect of this vacation along with my mother’s 50th. I definitely now
see how getting to spend time with my mom, my brother and nephew who I have not seen in
two years should be the mainfocus of my thoughts and not the outfits in which I will be wearing
for dinner! Getting the chance to watch this video made me realize the aspects of my life that
I have control over and social media does not. My clothing and style are just one example of
how I should be wearing clothes that make me happy and feel good versus what is considered
to be trending. Social media does not control any aspect of my life but for some reason I have
always let it have an impact on the way I view myself and my success. A lot of trends I have
actually already seen coming back around from when I was a child in the very early 2000’s.
This goes to show how fashion does run out of ideas as all old trends begin to cycle back in as
new. Another point in the video that resonated with me was the speaker who mentioned
becoming a partner at his firm and quitting his job that same day. This man told a very relatable
story that I feel most college graduates can resonate with in some way. He began with
explainingthe way he picked his occupation aimlessly in order to gain the most financial
success in the future. He ended up succeeding in this mission and got the highest honor in his
job only to feel trapped and lost in the world he had not created or wanted. I know when I was
growing up I always said I was going to be a Psychology major and often got critique for it. I
was told it was not the highest paying occupation and that I should be a doctor, lawyer, or
business woman instead. I am so ecstatic with the fact that I always stayed true to my happiness
and calling to help people versus what societal ruling would have determined for me. I can
even see the ways in which psychology and mental health are becoming more recognized and
appreciated over the years as consumption and social media tear mental health down.
I think it is very sad the ways in which the idea of the American Dream and life fulfillment
have shifted so drastically. Like the video said, it no longer stands for opportunity andinstead
stands for materialistic objects. This idea is detrimental for future generations as kids willbe
growing up in a world where objects and people are seen as disposable. Overall, I really enjoyed
watching this video and listening to Joshua and Ryan share their stories along with those who
had similar realizations. I will probably end up getting their book Everything that Remains as
I am very intrigued by the pages read in the documentary. I will also never forget their last bit
of advice which was to love people and use things because the opposite will never work out.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching the video on minimalism and hearing the various real-life
stories and lessons that go with the concept. The video began by mentioning the addiction
society has with materialistic things and I feel that this fact is obvious to most humans. That
being said, it is still so widely ignored. It is sad to think that we place so much value on tangible
objects without thinking why they hold value. If people really took the time to think of the
value in all their objects and impulsive buying they might realize how meaningless it is. I
definitely feel that I contribute to this aimless aspect of buying and consuming in society to
keep up with the latest trends and fashion. Yesterday my mom and I finalized a trip she had
been planning for her 50th birthday and immediately I was focused on what cute clothes I could
not buy to bring with me. I now realize how ridiculous that is because I have mounds of summer
