I believe that I have more trinkets than the common college student. I love buying trinkets, and organizing them, and having them to look at and on display. I personally don’t think that people could make an argument about this being a hoarding situation. People could probably say that it is a waste of money, which I would strongly disagree with. I have these to make myself feel good. They bring me joy, and I don’t see a problem with it. They don’t over consume my space or time. I also have found ways to budget for them. I don’t overspend my money on them anymore, and when I did I recognized it as a problem and worked to fix it. I believe that these trinkets can produce waste. They often come in excessive packaging and even when you get them from a vintage shop, they proceed to wrap them in tons of tissue paper. I do wish that they were packaged differently than what they are. The production of waste from my collection is my least favorite thing about it. I don’t know how to fix the waste from the packaging but, my trinkets themselves are not waste.
