Personal Consumerism and Joy
As a senior nearing graduation, I've been reflecting on how to balance my creative impulses with the need to make a living.
I've come to a simple conclusion: collecting items like Labubu brings me joy. Blind boxes from Pop Mart have accumulated on my desk and shelves, and I view this hobby as a way to enrich my life.
- Funko Pop
- Pokémon
- Baseball cards
- Other memorabilia
These items represent an individual's interests and serve as a way to express oneself through tangible objects. For me, collecting Nyotas and Hironos is a never-ending and self-sustaining hobby.
The collecting process is as legitimate a hobby as scrapbooking or golf.
