I really enjoyed reading this piece. I found that at the end, I wanted to read more. I really do think that the possessions that we have do explain who we are, to an extent. I honestly can't imagine selling all my things. I find that I'm attached to my belongings because I always remember where I got them from and they bring back memories for me. I'm more of a practical person, so by selling all my things, then spending the money I got from that to go on a road trip instead of saving it, isn't me at all.

I like that Freyer told us what his friend Trey thought about the project. He didn't like that Freyer was selling everything that he got for him. I love seeing my presents or gifts that I give my friends going to good use. I like knowing that they like it, and that I actually know them enough to get them something they love using or wearing. I would never want to sell the gifts my friends have given me.

I don’t really think of myself as being materialistic. It’s not good to try to get happiness from possessions, but it’s nice to cherish possessions if they make you think of people, times, or places that brought you happiness. In being a college freshman away from home I think you’re tested. You can’t bring everything you own, and it makes you actually think what you need and what’s important and what you’ll actually miss. This story really relates to us in that way, I think.

As for "A Place for My Stuff" I found it to be very humorous. It rang very true to me. Without your things you never feel quite at home. Bringing your things to college for example is just a way to make your dorm more of a home for you. I also like the quote "Have you noticed that their stuff is shit, and your shit is stuff." If you really think about, the "stuff" you own and cherish most likely doesn't mean anything to anyone else. This really made me think, but also gave me a good laugh.
