Inventory

In making a list of everything in my dorm room, I realized that I have way more things than I thought. A few big items on the list included a couch, a stereo system and record player, a carpet that fits the entire room and an additional rug, a television with a several gaming consoles, a mini-fridge, a window seat and an ottoman. I also found out that I have 68 t-shirts, 14 sweatshirts, 15 ties, and 11 pairs of jeans. I still can't believe that I own so many shirts! Moreover, my roommate and I discovered that we have 2 bottles of Febreeze, 2 wall mirrors, 10 frisbees, 18 posters and 4 boxes of Kleenex. Additionally, I have 8 pillows. It's hard to draw the line where consumerism becomes too excessive, but I think we have too much in my room. It's also interesting that all of the things in my room are somewhat comforting. Hopefully we can find the will power to stop shopping, because I honestly think that our room can't handle any more stuff!

  1. Ah, yes. Some things have an emotional function rather than a practical one. It would be worth considering if those with emotional function are more essential than having many of the practical ones. LDL
