I learned more in 5 minutes of watching this video than I did in a week of AP Lit....

He talks so damn fast though..... >.>"

loved the line that went "we are the fashionable East egg with our polo ponies (...) BUT NONE OF US ARE HAVING.ANY.FUN. >:[" GPOY.

He also talks about how wealth in America consumes both the rich and the poor. We go through life seeking money. Or so it seems. We stopped putting gold and silver into that shit hella days ago. Money is all just paper and junk metal now. But the idea it symbolizes is what draws us to it. In America, money represents happiness.

To me, happiness is being loved--feeling like you matter. But now, with media sensationalizing sexuality, attraction, bling... the only way one can feel like they matter is to conform to these social standards. A girl needs certain clothes to feel like she matters. Money can buy her those clothes. A guy needs a fancy car to feel like he matters. Money can get him that car. All of this, though, is only face value. A girl's looks will go away, and a guy can't sustain a relationship with nothing but his car...and this is why Daisy Buchanan will be nothing but a "beautiful fool."

So I'm going to conclude with this:
Know what happiness is. Money is nothing but a substitute in the absence of happiness. I really do hope I don't forget that when college sweeps me up and away.
