00:00:12,698 --> 00:00:14,517
When you hear about college,
2
00:00:14,551 --> 00:00:17,453
it's often described
as the time of your life.
3
00:00:19,621 --> 00:00:22,010
Bliss, paradise...
4
00:00:22,042 --> 00:00:23,846
- ...utopia.
5
00:00:34,304 --> 00:00:35,938
But when you're in it,
6
00:00:35,971 --> 00:00:38,941
sometimes all you feel is the stress,
7
00:00:40,410 --> 00:00:42,212
...the pressure...
8
00:00:44,380 --> 00:00:46,615
...and the loneliness.
9
00:01:15,211 --> 00:01:16,813
What the hell's going on?
10
00:01:16,845 --> 00:01:18,648
Hey.
11
00:01:18,681 --> 00:01:21,051
Everything all right?
12
00:01:22,684 --> 00:01:26,222

13
00:01:26,256 --> 00:01:28,058

24
00:01:55,988 --> 00:01:58,087
Yo, I'm about to Postmates
this Jimmy John's.
25
00:01:58,121 --> 00:01:59,122
You want in?
26
00:01:59,155 --> 00:02:00,557
The halls were just flooded with EMTs
27
00:02:00,589 --> 00:02:02,057
because they thought a student
killed themselves.
28
00:02:02,090 --> 00:02:04,193
H-How are you even thinking
about food right now?
29
00:02:04,227 --> 00:02:05,295
I'm sorry, okay?
30
00:02:05,328 --> 00:02:07,197
Everybody copes with stressful
situations differently,
31
00:02:07,229 --> 00:02:09,232
and I'm just trying to process
what happened to P.J.
32
00:02:09,264 --> 00:02:11,233
So I ask you again... do you
want a tasty sandwich or not?
33
00:02:11,267 --> 00:02:12,568
Are you for real?
34
00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:16,139
Get me a six-inch Perfect Italian.
35
00:02:16,172 --> 00:02:18,608
Son, this P.J. shit is nuts.
36
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:21,244
Yo, thank God that his roommate
saw this morbid-ass tweet
37
00:02:21,276 --> 00:02:23,312
and called 911.
38
00:02:23,346 --> 00:02:25,914
Can you imagine
what would've happened to him?
39
00:02:25,948 --> 00:02:28,051
They did a sweep of his room
and said they found some pills.
40
00:02:28,084 --> 00:02:28,985
He didn't take any.
41
00:02:29,018 --> 00:02:30,954
But they did find some.
42
00:02:30,987 --> 00:02:33,055
This whole situation is on me.
43
00:02:33,089 --> 00:02:33,990
What?
44
00:02:34,023 --> 00:02:37,827
Yeah, I have a confession to make, okay?
45
00:02:37,859 --> 00:02:39,762
I saw P.J.'s tweet,
but I scrolled past it
46
00:02:39,795 --> 00:02:41,965
to watch a video of a monkey
from Thailand attack a man.
47
00:02:41,997 --> 00:02:43,799
Bro, this... this is isn't on you.
48
00:02:43,833 --> 00:02:46,770
P.J.'s been tweeting
about being depressed.
49
00:02:46,803 --> 00:02:48,305
I feel like everybody is.
50
00:02:48,337 --> 00:02:49,805
It's crazy to me. I don't get it.
51
00:02:49,839 --> 00:02:53,008
So, like, since when has it ever
been cool to be depressed?
52
00:02:53,042 --> 00:02:55,444
Since all these rappers started
confessing about their struggles
53
00:02:55,477 --> 00:02:57,646
and everybody thought
that shit was cool.
54
00:03:01,017 --> 00:03:02,651
I swear, every time I'm on IG,
55
00:03:02,685 --> 00:03:05,121
I'm seeing people post about their
feelings and what meds they're on.
56
00:03:05,154 --> 00:03:07,122
Yeah, but that's what I'm
talking about...
57
00:03:07,156 --> 00:03:09,125
people doing it just for the flex.
58
00:03:09,157 --> 00:03:10,626
Like P.J.
59
00:03:10,660 --> 00:03:12,996
He was all about
that whole sad-boy wave.
60
00:03:13,029 --> 00:03:15,597
But that doesn't mean the guy
wasn't really suffering.
61
00:03:15,631 --> 00:03:17,000
- You know what I mean?
- Yeah, but it's impossible
62
00:03:17,032 --> 00:03:20,102
to tell who's really doing it
for the flex
63
00:03:20,136 --> 00:03:21,371
or who's actually struggling.
64
00:03:21,404 --> 00:03:24,206
Maybe, but this... this happened
way too close to home.
65
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:25,641
So I'm going to make it my mission,
66
00:03:25,674 --> 00:03:27,142
I'm gonna do whatever it takes
67
00:03:27,175 --> 00:03:28,444
to find out if anyone who's living here
68
00:03:28,477 --> 00:03:29,978
is really going through something
69
00:03:30,012 --> 00:03:32,982
or they're just... you know,
walking around being dramatic.
70
00:03:33,014 --> 00:03:36,720
Oh, I'm sooo depressed!
71
00:03:36,752 --> 00:03:40,190
My life is literally just over.
72
00:03:41,191 --> 00:03:43,293
This dude hasn't left
the house for 2 1/2 years.
73
00:03:43,325 --> 00:03:44,894
Uh, did y'all not hear what I just said?
74
00:03:44,926 --> 00:03:47,563
Uh, Zoey, we're watching a documentary
75
00:03:47,597 --> 00:03:49,566
about an 800-pound man named Robert
76
00:03:49,598 --> 00:03:51,167
who's fused to his couch.
77
00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:52,334
So, uh...
78
00:03:52,368 --> 00:03:55,672
- Big Rob's life is over.
- You're being melodramatic.
79
00:03:55,704 --> 00:03:57,706
- Yeah.
- I'm not.
80
00:03:57,739 --> 00:03:59,408
My major got declined.
81
00:03:59,442 --> 00:04:03,980
Um... I didn't get into
the School of Fashion, so...
82
00:04:04,013 --> 00:04:06,583
Again, Big Rob can't see his own penis.
83
00:04:06,615 --> 00:04:09,017
Why would they reject you?
84
00:04:09,050 --> 00:04:10,018
I don't know.
85
00:04:10,051 --> 00:04:11,988
Something about having a low GPA
86
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:13,355
and being on academic probation
87
00:04:13,388 --> 00:04:15,824
and dropping some mandatory
fashion class last semester.
88
00:04:15,857 --> 00:04:17,494
- It's literally insane.
- Come here.
89
00:04:17,527 --> 00:04:21,597
- I know, this really sucks.
- Mm-hmm.
90
00:04:21,631 --> 00:04:23,566
But you're still gonna do
the Fundie Run, right?
91
00:04:23,590 --> 00:04:24,533
No!
92
00:04:24,558 --> 00:04:26,236
God, I have no desire
to run around half-naked
93
00:04:26,268 --> 00:04:29,204
in a race that's supposed to
celebrate declaring a major!
94
00:04:29,237 --> 00:04:30,874
Which I don't have!
95
00:04:30,907 --> 00:04:32,876
On the bright side,
you don't need one to run.
96
00:04:32,909 --> 00:04:34,778
- We did it when we were freshmen.
- Mm-hmm.
97
00:04:34,811 --> 00:04:36,412
Whupped everybody's ass, too.
98
00:04:36,446 --> 00:04:38,047
And we're gonna do it again this year.
99
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,785
You guys do realize, though,
it's just chaos in underwear?
100
00:04:41,818 --> 00:04:44,187
- It's not, like, a real race.
- Oh, baby girl,
101
00:04:44,220 --> 00:04:47,190
when you've been training
all year for the NCAA finals,
102
00:04:47,222 --> 00:04:49,057
everything in life is a race.
103
00:04:58,934 --> 00:05:01,203
If I wasn't wearing wedges,
I would've had that ass.
104
00:05:01,237 --> 00:05:02,472
I don't think y'all get it.
105
00:05:02,504 --> 00:05:04,106
This isn't about some stupid race.
106
00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:06,443
I mean, sure, maybe I'm being
a bit melodramatic
107
00:05:06,475 --> 00:05:07,876
by saying my life is over,
108
00:05:07,910 --> 00:05:11,580
but my dream of majoring in fashion is.
109
00:05:14,850 --> 00:05:17,052
I mean, Robert had dreams, too.
110
00:05:17,085 --> 00:05:18,987
All right. Excuse me. Hey, guys!
111
00:05:19,020 --> 00:05:21,758
Thank you so much
for taking the time to be here.
112
00:05:21,790 --> 00:05:23,492
I really do appreciate it.
Let's get to it.
113
00:05:23,525 --> 00:05:24,660
- I wanted to...
- Yo. Yo.
114
00:05:24,693 --> 00:05:26,429
What time does the shrimp truck come?
115
00:05:27,629 --> 00:05:29,064
There's a slight delay
on the shrimp truck.
116
00:05:29,097 --> 00:05:30,667
In the meantime, I thought
we could, you know,
117
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:33,136
- roundtable a bit, chop it up.
- Wait. Wait, wait.
118
00:05:33,169 --> 00:05:35,839
Like, how long are you talkin'
for the shrimp, though?
119
00:05:38,207 --> 00:05:39,242
Five minutes.
120
00:05:39,275 --> 00:05:41,611
Like... Like a regular five
or Black five?
121
00:05:44,145 --> 00:05:45,948
There's no shrimp. I don't have shrimp.
122
00:05:45,982 --> 00:05:47,650
I'm sorry. There never was
a shrimp truck coming.
123
00:05:47,683 --> 00:05:49,519
- I don't have the money for it. Sorry.
- You got me
124
00:05:49,551 --> 00:05:51,087
all [bleep] up, Aaron, okay?!
125
00:05:51,119 --> 00:05:53,188
I understand
your frustration, Rafael, I do,
126
00:05:53,222 --> 00:05:55,694
but I gathered you guys here
to discuss mental health.
127
00:05:55,719 --> 00:05:56,813
That's what we need...
128
00:05:56,837 --> 00:05:57,983
No, we need... Guys, come on.
129
00:05:58,008 --> 00:05:59,210
- We need this.
- I told you,
130
00:05:59,235 --> 00:06:01,960
you can't promise Black people
shrimp, bro.
131
00:06:01,985 --> 00:06:04,708
Whatever. I decided that
it was best to check in
132
00:06:04,733 --> 00:06:06,622
after what happened to P.J.
That's our friend.
133
00:06:06,647 --> 00:06:08,325
I just want to see how
everybody's feeling.
134
00:06:08,350 --> 00:06:10,940
Hungry, [bleep]! Hungry!
135
00:06:10,972 --> 00:06:12,174
Funny. Anyway...
136
00:06:12,208 --> 00:06:13,208
The school gave me
137
00:06:13,242 --> 00:06:15,177
this cool, little
crisis prevention handbook,
138
00:06:15,210 --> 00:06:17,280
and I just want to float
a few questions by you.
139
00:06:17,313 --> 00:06:18,882
Here we go. First question...
140
00:06:18,914 --> 00:06:21,317
does anyone have a history of
mental illness in their family?
141
00:06:23,219 --> 00:06:24,821
No?
142
00:06:24,854 --> 00:06:26,789
Gran-Daadi Vikash heard voices.
143
00:06:26,821 --> 00:06:28,223
Okay.
144
00:06:28,256 --> 00:06:29,893
Good. Uh, second question...
145
00:06:29,926 --> 00:06:32,395
Do you ever feel despondent
and don't know why?
146
00:06:37,066 --> 00:06:39,469
Oh, so, I'm the only one
that feels a little melancholy
147
00:06:39,501 --> 00:06:41,037
when my head hits the pillow at night.
148
00:06:41,070 --> 00:06:42,672
Great. Appreciate the participation.
149
00:06:42,705 --> 00:06:44,240
Does anyone besides Vivek
150
00:06:44,273 --> 00:06:48,210
ever find themselves
anxious about the future?
151
00:06:48,244 --> 00:06:50,078
I mean...
152
00:06:50,112 --> 00:06:52,553
I feel anxious about the lack
of shellfish in my future.
153
00:06:52,578 --> 00:06:53,641
Yo, come on, man,
154
00:06:53,665 --> 00:06:54,757
he's trying to do something, bro.
155
00:06:54,758 --> 00:06:56,084
- Be serious.
- Thank you.
156
00:06:56,109 --> 00:06:57,702
O-Okay. Well, seriously,
157
00:06:57,727 --> 00:06:59,061
if I had a problem,
158
00:06:59,086 --> 00:07:02,130
I wouldn't sit around here,
being sad and anxious.
159
00:07:02,162 --> 00:07:03,772
I'm gonna either pray it out,
160
00:07:03,796 --> 00:07:05,192
I'm-a sweat it out...
161
00:07:05,193 --> 00:07:07,318
...or if that don't work,
I'm gonna light up.
162
00:07:07,343 --> 00:07:08,294
Okay, so...
163
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:10,061
Yeah, you must be living your best life,
164
00:07:10,099 --> 00:07:12,730
'cause your hairline is... ♪ Traaaash ♪.
165
00:07:12,755 --> 00:07:14,839
Okay, okay.
166
00:07:14,864 --> 00:07:16,269
So, I understand that you guys think
167
00:07:16,301 --> 00:07:17,546
that what I'm trying to do is whack,
168
00:07:17,573 --> 00:07:20,676
but I'm really just trying
to create an environment
169
00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:22,210
so that we can have an open dialogue
170
00:07:22,244 --> 00:07:24,639
about what's really going on
in our lives, okay?
171
00:07:24,671 --> 00:07:25,955
So please, bear with me.
172
00:07:25,982 --> 00:07:27,514
Are any of you experiencing
173
00:07:27,539 --> 00:07:30,619
a sense of isolation
or depersonalization?
174
00:07:33,388 --> 00:07:35,691
Um... I'm sorry.
175
00:07:35,725 --> 00:07:37,527
I don't even know what that means.
176
00:07:37,559 --> 00:07:39,962
It's like when you feel disconnected
177
00:07:39,996 --> 00:07:42,966
or not like yourself.
178
00:07:42,999 --> 00:07:46,469
You're, like, the passenger
in your own mind.
179
00:07:46,501 --> 00:07:49,364
Kind of like how, uh, Kid Cudi felt
180
00:07:49,389 --> 00:07:50,676
when he made the "Pursuit of Happiness".
181
00:07:50,701 --> 00:07:53,643
- You know that song?
- Yeah. Okay, yeah.
182
00:07:53,676 --> 00:07:55,411
In that case,
183
00:07:55,436 --> 00:07:58,146
I've been hella depersonalized before.
184
00:07:58,179 --> 00:08:00,215
Okay, good! This is great.
185
00:08:00,249 --> 00:08:01,883
Communication, dialogue.
186
00:08:01,917 --> 00:08:03,318
Now, has anyone ever felt like a rapper
187
00:08:03,352 --> 00:08:05,455
whose name starts with Lil'
or thought about,
188
00:08:05,487 --> 00:08:07,222
I don't know, getting face tattoos?
189
00:08:10,126 --> 00:08:11,260
Okay.
190
00:08:11,292 --> 00:08:13,462
All right.
191
00:08:13,496 --> 00:08:14,998
All right. Well...
192
00:08:15,030 --> 00:08:17,766
I think we need to get these
people some shrimp.
193
00:08:20,813 --> 00:08:23,172
I just don't want to let anyone down.
194
00:08:23,205 --> 00:08:25,617
There's so much pressure.
195
00:08:25,642 --> 00:08:28,466
Between trying to keep my grades up
196
00:08:28,491 --> 00:08:31,060
and missing my family,
197
00:08:31,093 --> 00:08:34,497
I feel like sometimes I can't
even shake the sadness.
198
00:08:36,565 --> 00:08:37,499
I get that.
199
00:08:38,334 --> 00:08:40,570
There's sometimes I wake up and
I feel like I just, you know,
200
00:08:40,603 --> 00:08:42,872
can't get out of bed.
201
00:08:42,904 --> 00:08:45,440
Okay, so, when you guys feel like this,
202
00:08:45,474 --> 00:08:47,109
how do you go about dealing with it?
203
00:08:47,143 --> 00:08:49,644
- I don't.
- You don't?
204
00:08:49,677 --> 00:08:51,413
Wait, but you don't think
you should, I don't know,
205
00:08:51,446 --> 00:08:54,249
talk to a counselor or therapist
just to,
206
00:08:54,282 --> 00:08:55,417
- you know...
- I did that.
207
00:08:55,450 --> 00:08:56,752
Over at the health center.
208
00:08:56,785 --> 00:08:58,421
It was a joke.
209
00:08:58,454 --> 00:09:01,590
Like, a 2-week wait
for a 15-minute appointment
210
00:09:01,623 --> 00:09:04,460
with some old White lady
who kept telling me
211
00:09:04,493 --> 00:09:07,597
I look like some actress named "Jackée".
212
00:09:07,629 --> 00:09:09,264
That's why I don't mess with it.
213
00:09:09,297 --> 00:09:12,567
You just... ride it out.
214
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,604
Okay, but has it ever gotten so low
215
00:09:14,637 --> 00:09:16,172
to where you feel like you...
you couldn't ride it out?
216
00:09:21,343 --> 00:09:22,478
Yo, this...
217
00:09:22,511 --> 00:09:24,447
this doesn't seem like a flex, bro.
218
00:09:33,122 --> 00:09:34,524
Here.
219
00:09:34,556 --> 00:09:38,594
Zucchini bread is known
to help with the sadness.
220
00:09:38,627 --> 00:09:40,496
And eczema.
221
00:09:40,528 --> 00:09:41,496
Hmm.
222
00:09:44,032 --> 00:09:46,536
Oh, my God...
223
00:09:46,569 --> 00:09:48,671
This is so good.
224
00:09:48,704 --> 00:09:50,306
Is there anything you can't do?
225
00:09:50,339 --> 00:09:51,840
- I haven't found it yet.
- Mm.
226
00:09:51,873 --> 00:09:54,643
Do you think this bread will
help me figure out my major?
227
00:09:54,676 --> 00:09:57,547
Zoey, you don't need a major
to do fashion.
228
00:09:57,580 --> 00:09:59,282
You barely need a major to do anything.
229
00:09:59,315 --> 00:10:00,383
How many people do you know
230
00:10:00,416 --> 00:10:02,484
that actually work in the fields
they studied?
231
00:10:02,518 --> 00:10:04,987
My mom. My dad.
232
00:10:05,019 --> 00:10:07,822
Literally anyone who's been
to college in my entire family.
233
00:10:07,855 --> 00:10:10,292
Okay, fine. They're weird.
234
00:10:10,325 --> 00:10:11,460
But real talk,
235
00:10:11,493 --> 00:10:14,529
this whole major thing is just
society's attempt to put us in a box.
236
00:10:14,562 --> 00:10:16,032
Nice, coming from the guy
237
00:10:16,065 --> 00:10:18,234
who got into the fashion program
freshman year.
238
00:10:18,267 --> 00:10:19,902
Of high school.
239
00:10:19,935 --> 00:10:21,804
They recruited me. But...
240
00:10:21,836 --> 00:10:23,538
don't make this about me, baby.
241
00:10:23,571 --> 00:10:25,474
Hmm. Ding, ding, ding.
242
00:10:25,507 --> 00:10:27,910
Think we found the one thing
he's not good at...
243
00:10:27,942 --> 00:10:29,345
pep talks.
244
00:10:29,378 --> 00:10:32,581
The point is, people in fashion
don't need a degree.
245
00:10:32,614 --> 00:10:35,150
Even having one puts you miles
ahead of the game.
246
00:10:35,183 --> 00:10:36,751
So why don't you just take the time
247
00:10:36,785 --> 00:10:39,822
to explore other stuff
you have interest in?
248
00:10:39,854 --> 00:10:41,590
Well, I mean, I've always been
249
00:10:41,623 --> 00:10:43,825
kind of intrigued by psychology.
250
00:10:43,859 --> 00:10:45,595
That's perfect.
251
00:10:45,628 --> 00:10:47,196
You have a purple aura.
252
00:10:47,229 --> 00:10:49,431
People love talking to you.
253
00:10:49,465 --> 00:10:52,468
And honestly, you'll be purple
at whatever you choose.
254
00:10:55,204 --> 00:10:57,173
Damn it!
255
00:10:57,205 --> 00:10:59,908
He is good at everything.
256
00:11:04,312 --> 00:11:05,947
Okay. So...
257
00:11:10,819 --> 00:11:12,455
You sure you don't want me
to come back when you're...
258
00:11:12,488 --> 00:11:14,690
when you're finished?
259
00:11:16,425 --> 00:11:17,760
- Sorry about that.
- That's all right.
260
00:11:17,792 --> 00:11:19,695
It's a seven-day juice cleanse,
261
00:11:19,728 --> 00:11:21,297
but I'm-a drink 'em all in one day.
262
00:11:21,330 --> 00:11:23,733
Your boy figured
out how to beat the system.
263
00:11:23,766 --> 00:11:27,036
Why wait a whole week
just to be healthy?
264
00:11:27,069 --> 00:11:28,471
Pretty sure that's not how it works.
265
00:11:28,503 --> 00:11:31,206
I'm pretty sure it is how it works.
266
00:11:31,239 --> 00:11:32,575
Sorry.
267
00:11:32,608 --> 00:11:33,976
I drank 17 juices.
268
00:11:34,008 --> 00:11:37,279
- I'm both full and very, very hungry.
- Mm.
269
00:11:37,312 --> 00:11:38,614
It's so confusing.
270
00:11:38,647 --> 00:11:40,449
Anyway, talk to me, brother.
271
00:11:40,481 --> 00:11:42,984
Okay. Uh, well, I was...
272
00:11:43,018 --> 00:11:44,820
I was talking to some residents
at Hawkins,
273
00:11:44,853 --> 00:11:48,324
and I just think that they could
really use a therapist.
274
00:11:48,356 --> 00:11:50,792
- Just to talk to, you know what I mean?
- Yeah, yeah.
275
00:11:50,825 --> 00:11:52,260
I'm sure everyone over at Hawkins
276
00:11:52,293 --> 00:11:53,895
is going through a hard time right now.
277
00:11:53,928 --> 00:11:55,463
Since P.J.'s incident,
278
00:11:55,497 --> 00:11:59,101
we are taking the situation
very, very seriously.
279
00:11:59,133 --> 00:12:01,336
But it doesn't seem like it,
280
00:12:01,369 --> 00:12:03,605
'cause I-I went to
the health center earlier today,
281
00:12:03,638 --> 00:12:04,907
and they said there's
a huge waiting list
282
00:12:04,940 --> 00:12:06,941
because there's only five counselors
283
00:12:06,974 --> 00:12:09,311
- for the entire student population.
- Ah.
284
00:12:09,345 --> 00:12:10,946
- That's crazy. Yeah.
- Yes.
285
00:12:10,979 --> 00:12:13,516
That's exactly why we're
bringing in temporary counselors
286
00:12:13,548 --> 00:12:15,518
for the students to talk to.
287
00:12:15,551 --> 00:12:17,119
What if these problems aren't temporary?
288
00:12:17,152 --> 00:12:19,488
What if... It's... It's bad enough
289
00:12:19,521 --> 00:12:21,022
that there's limited
resources for everybody,
290
00:12:21,056 --> 00:12:23,025
but there's even less for us.
291
00:12:23,057 --> 00:12:26,095
Do you know there's not a single Black
therapist in that health center?
292
00:12:26,128 --> 00:12:27,162
Not one.
293
00:12:27,196 --> 00:12:28,497
Yet we're the ones struggling
294
00:12:28,529 --> 00:12:29,864
with the normal stresses of college,
295
00:12:29,897 --> 00:12:31,667
uh, going to a predominantly
White school,
296
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:32,968
and having to deal with the pressures
297
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,602
of being Black in America.
298
00:12:34,636 --> 00:12:36,138
It's just... It's... It's a lot.
299
00:12:36,171 --> 00:12:39,709
I get it, man.
300
00:12:39,742 --> 00:12:41,711
I really do. I get it, man.
301
00:12:41,744 --> 00:12:43,680
Great. Thank you. So... So you can help?
302
00:12:46,514 --> 00:12:49,484
I would if I could.
303
00:12:49,518 --> 00:12:52,287
Cal U just doesn't have
the money in the budget.
304
00:12:54,489 --> 00:12:56,157
Just doesn't have...
305
00:12:56,191 --> 00:12:58,594
Right. Got it.
306
00:13:01,930 --> 00:13:05,133
You know, they'll spend millions
of dollars on a new arena
307
00:13:05,167 --> 00:13:07,302
to make more millions off Black bodies,
308
00:13:07,335 --> 00:13:08,870
but won't invest in our minds?
309
00:13:08,903 --> 00:13:11,172
It's... baffling to me.
310
00:13:11,205 --> 00:13:12,340
I'm sorry, Aaron.
311
00:13:12,373 --> 00:13:14,810
I wish there was... more I could do.
312
00:13:14,843 --> 00:13:17,213
Yeah, me too.
313
00:13:29,488 --> 00:13:30,580
Hey, Freshman.
314
00:13:30,605 --> 00:13:32,126
What's good?
315
00:13:32,151 --> 00:13:33,979
Just deciding my future.
316
00:13:34,018 --> 00:13:35,553
I'm thinking a psychology major,
317
00:13:35,579 --> 00:13:38,816
possible astronomy minor.
318
00:13:38,849 --> 00:13:40,384
You do know astronomy has nothing to do
319
00:13:40,418 --> 00:13:43,155
with horoscopes, right?
320
00:13:43,188 --> 00:13:44,489
I do now.
321
00:13:44,521 --> 00:13:45,790
- Right.
- Yay...
322
00:13:45,824 --> 00:13:48,627
Wait, so, why are you looking
for a new major?
323
00:13:48,660 --> 00:13:50,328
I thought you were trying to get
into the fashion school?
324
00:13:50,361 --> 00:13:51,663
Well, I am, but, you know,
325
00:13:51,695 --> 00:13:53,731
I don't have to major in it to do it.
326
00:13:53,765 --> 00:13:54,966
Well, good.
327
00:13:54,998 --> 00:13:57,702
Honestly, we need more Black
psychologists, so good for you.
328
00:13:57,736 --> 00:14:00,838
And at least psychology
is a... a-a real major.
329
00:14:00,872 --> 00:14:01,973
So is fashion.
330
00:14:02,006 --> 00:14:04,476
Yeah, but it's not really
helping people.
331
00:14:04,508 --> 00:14:07,211
Mm, fashion is all about helping people.
332
00:14:07,245 --> 00:14:08,213
Oh, come on, Zoey.
333
00:14:08,246 --> 00:14:09,581
No disrespect, but helping people
334
00:14:09,613 --> 00:14:11,682
is facilitating
better mental health resources.
335
00:14:11,715 --> 00:14:13,150
Not pairing your V-neck blouse
336
00:14:13,184 --> 00:14:14,653
with some low-rise Hollister jeans.
337
00:14:14,685 --> 00:14:15,886
- It's just...
- Mm, pause.
338
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,856
- First of all, yuck.
- Right?
339
00:14:17,888 --> 00:14:18,989
And second of all,
340
00:14:19,022 --> 00:14:21,058
it's not just about
creating someone's look.
341
00:14:21,092 --> 00:14:23,261
I mean, it's...
it's honestly an extension
342
00:14:23,294 --> 00:14:24,763
of who that person is.
343
00:14:24,795 --> 00:14:26,897
An expression of identity,
344
00:14:26,930 --> 00:14:30,868
of our wants, our... p-political views.
345
00:14:30,901 --> 00:14:33,104
Political views.
346
00:14:33,137 --> 00:14:34,839
Oh, my... Are you kidding?
Think about it.
347
00:14:34,872 --> 00:14:37,342
Like, the suffragettes,
348
00:14:37,375 --> 00:14:38,710
uh, the Black Panthers,
349
00:14:38,742 --> 00:14:40,511
and, you know what, I hate to say it,
350
00:14:40,545 --> 00:14:42,713
- but, like, the KKK.
- Mm.
351
00:14:42,747 --> 00:14:45,851
They made statements with their outfits.
352
00:14:45,883 --> 00:14:47,785
The KKK?
353
00:14:47,819 --> 00:14:49,221
That was your closing argument?
354
00:14:49,253 --> 00:14:51,223
My closing argument is,
355
00:14:51,256 --> 00:14:54,025
fashion has always been
a powerful political tool
356
00:14:54,058 --> 00:14:57,429
used to communicate a message,
positive or negative,
357
00:14:57,462 --> 00:15:03,101
and that's a million percent
a real thing for me.
358
00:15:03,133 --> 00:15:05,369
Okay, so then, why...
359
00:15:05,402 --> 00:15:06,570
Well, I ask again,
360
00:15:06,603 --> 00:15:09,107
why are you majoring
in psychology and not fashion?
361
00:15:09,140 --> 00:15:12,944
Because I didn't get into
the School of Fashion, so...
362
00:15:12,977 --> 00:15:15,480
...now I'm at a dead end.
363
00:15:15,512 --> 00:15:16,781
I get that.
364
00:15:16,814 --> 00:15:18,550
I feel like I'm at
a dead end, too, right now.
365
00:15:18,583 --> 00:15:20,252
It's like, at the end of my road,
366
00:15:20,285 --> 00:15:22,788
there's a big brick wall.
367
00:15:22,820 --> 00:15:25,824
So, what's happening?
368
00:15:25,857 --> 00:15:28,593
Cal U doesn't give a damn
about Black mental health,
369
00:15:28,626 --> 00:15:32,146
and I can't get them
to do anything about it.
370
00:15:32,170 --> 00:15:33,630
So...
371
00:15:33,631 --> 00:15:36,101
you understand what I'm talking about.
372
00:15:36,133 --> 00:15:38,669
We're just two people sitting here,
373
00:15:38,703 --> 00:15:40,972
trying to save the world.
374
00:15:41,005 --> 00:15:42,439
Hmm.
375
00:15:42,473 --> 00:15:43,775
You think you're funny, huh?
376
00:15:43,808 --> 00:15:45,277
You think I'm funny.
377
00:15:45,309 --> 00:15:47,279
You're fine.
378
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,149
But, you know what?
379
00:15:51,181 --> 00:15:52,817
Just because they're telling you "no"
380
00:15:52,851 --> 00:15:54,152
doesn't mean you have to listen.
381
00:15:54,184 --> 00:15:57,655
What you're doing
is just way too important.
382
00:15:57,689 --> 00:15:59,089
So screw Cal U.
383
00:15:59,122 --> 00:16:01,593
Sometimes you just got
to figure out a way
384
00:16:01,626 --> 00:16:03,694
around the wall.
385
00:16:03,728 --> 00:16:05,664
That is solid advice.
386
00:16:05,697 --> 00:16:07,444
Not bad, Sophomore, not bad at all.
387
00:16:07,469 --> 00:16:09,501
Mm, Sophomore?
388
00:16:09,534 --> 00:16:10,921
What happened to Freshman?
389
00:16:10,946 --> 00:16:12,782
Oh, you know, just...
390
00:16:12,816 --> 00:16:14,484
testing something new.
391
00:16:14,517 --> 00:16:16,920
Talking to Aaron helped me realize
392
00:16:16,952 --> 00:16:19,956
that there was no reason
I couldn't take my own advice.
393
00:16:19,989 --> 00:16:23,426
And looking back
on my styling experiences,
394
00:16:23,460 --> 00:16:26,662
I've learned to connect with
clients to help them communicate
395
00:16:26,695 --> 00:16:29,398
what they want to say
about themselves to the world.
396
00:16:29,431 --> 00:16:32,134
But I've also learned how
fashion can be used
397
00:16:32,167 --> 00:16:35,171
to communicate a message
on a larger scale.
398
00:16:35,205 --> 00:16:37,840
And so, to help me better
explore the intersection
399
00:16:37,873 --> 00:16:41,844
of fashion and social movements
in a comprehensive way,
400
00:16:41,878 --> 00:16:46,450
I'm here to ask your permission
to create my own major...
401
00:16:46,483 --> 00:16:48,452
the Sociology of Fashion.
402
00:17:05,902 --> 00:17:07,037
Hey, man.
403
00:17:07,069 --> 00:17:08,171
Yo.
404
00:17:10,006 --> 00:17:13,877
Um, I'm sorry. Why...
Why are you here, exactly?
405
00:17:13,910 --> 00:17:16,013
I heard what went down the other night.
406
00:17:16,046 --> 00:17:17,681
Yeah, it was pretty rough.
407
00:17:17,713 --> 00:17:20,549
You're gonna come in.
All right, come in. Sit down.
408
00:17:20,583 --> 00:17:21,817
- How you feeling, man?
- I don't know.
409
00:17:21,851 --> 00:17:23,553
A little numb, a little shocked.
410
00:17:23,585 --> 00:17:26,690
It all kind of feels like...
a bad dream.
411
00:17:26,722 --> 00:17:28,057
I feel that.
412
00:17:28,091 --> 00:17:30,327
I've, uh,... I've had some dark times.
413
00:17:32,761 --> 00:17:34,998
- Really?
- Really dark times.
414
00:17:35,030 --> 00:17:36,732
Came over to bring you this.
415
00:17:36,766 --> 00:17:39,870
It's, um... zucchini bread.
416
00:17:39,902 --> 00:17:42,572
It's super fire.
Took me two days to perfect it.
417
00:17:42,604 --> 00:17:43,906
Well, thank you, man.
418
00:17:43,940 --> 00:17:46,176
That's... real nice of you.
419
00:17:46,209 --> 00:17:47,844
Try it, bro. Go on.
420
00:17:47,876 --> 00:17:50,513
Taste it. Get in there.
421
00:17:50,546 --> 00:17:52,348
All right.
422
00:17:58,921 --> 00:18:00,156
- Damn.
- Right?
423
00:18:00,190 --> 00:18:01,825
- That's good.
- I know.
424
00:18:01,857 --> 00:18:03,025
When I was going through
my rough moments,
425
00:18:03,058 --> 00:18:04,927
someone taught me
to always look for happiness
426
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,300
- in the little things.
- Mm-hmm.
427
00:18:06,325 --> 00:18:08,531
So, next time you find yourself
428
00:18:08,565 --> 00:18:11,368
marinating in a hopeless, grim road,
429
00:18:11,401 --> 00:18:13,836
just think about the little things.
430
00:18:13,870 --> 00:18:15,939
Do you think that what happened
the other night was me?
431
00:18:16,873 --> 00:18:18,341
Uh, yeah.
432
00:18:18,373 --> 00:18:20,911
They said some guy with weird
hair at Hawkins tried to end it.
433
00:18:20,943 --> 00:18:22,778
No, man! That was P.J.
434
00:18:22,812 --> 00:18:24,381
And nobody tried to end anything.
435
00:18:24,413 --> 00:18:26,083
- P.J.?
- Yeah.
436
00:18:26,115 --> 00:18:28,017
- That's fire.
- P.J... P.J...
437
00:18:28,050 --> 00:18:30,686
Ohh, wow, P.J.!
438
00:18:30,719 --> 00:18:32,184
That makes so much more sense.
439
00:18:32,209 --> 00:18:34,044
No wonder nobody in the group
was talking about it.
440
00:18:34,069 --> 00:18:34,988
Yeah.
441
00:18:35,013 --> 00:18:36,747
I'm actually working
on a little something
442
00:18:36,772 --> 00:18:38,215
to help the whole situation.
443
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:39,308
Check her out.
444
00:18:39,335 --> 00:18:40,702
Organizing a fundraiser to help get
445
00:18:40,736 --> 00:18:42,639
better mental health support
for the students here.
446
00:18:42,671 --> 00:18:45,475
Wow. That's...
447
00:18:45,508 --> 00:18:46,542
That's major.
448
00:18:46,575 --> 00:18:48,544
- Yeah.
- Well, you know,
449
00:18:48,576 --> 00:18:49,912
if you need help with anything,
you know,
450
00:18:49,944 --> 00:18:52,814
a little, uh, gluten-free
zucchini bread to auction off...
451
00:18:52,847 --> 00:18:54,549
...hit me up.
452
00:18:59,788 --> 00:19:02,090
So, I had no idea if my presentation
453
00:19:02,123 --> 00:19:03,425
impressed the board
454
00:19:03,459 --> 00:19:05,628
or just confused them into saying "yes".
455
00:19:05,661 --> 00:19:08,264
But later that night, I was informed...
456
00:19:08,296 --> 00:19:10,999
Your girl is officially declared.
457
00:19:11,033 --> 00:19:13,569
The Sociology of Fashion!
458
00:19:13,602 --> 00:19:14,970
Now I just got to find my crew
459
00:19:15,004 --> 00:19:16,806
so we can go kill this Fundie Run.
460
00:19:16,838 --> 00:19:18,907
That's right. Murder in a tutu!
461
00:19:36,292 --> 00:19:38,861
As I ran with my girls, I realized
462
00:19:38,893 --> 00:19:41,296
that, despite
all the stress and pressure,
463
00:19:41,329 --> 00:19:43,450
college really is bliss,
464
00:19:43,475 --> 00:19:45,701
paradise, utopia.
465
00:19:45,735 --> 00:19:47,937
And, sure, there were challenges.
466
00:19:47,969 --> 00:19:50,105
But once you push past them,
467
00:19:50,139 --> 00:19:51,873
it really is amazing.
468
00:19:54,977 --> 00:19:56,112
- Oh!
- Oh!
469
00:20:00,850 --> 00:20:04,654
Until the next challenge
inevitably presented itself.
470
00:20:04,687 --> 00:20:08,123
Yeah, hi. Uh, we need... we need
a campus medic immediately.
471
00:20:08,156 --> 00:20:09,591
My friend just fell.
472
00:20:12,517 --> 00:20:15,464
All right. Black minds, everybody.
473
00:20:15,498 --> 00:20:17,834
Black minds, my man. Pay attention.
474
00:20:17,866 --> 00:20:19,534
They don't want you to know.
475
00:20:25,308 --> 00:20:26,720
Oh-ho, not on my watch!
476
00:20:26,745 --> 00:20:28,210
I'm coming! Hold on!
477
00:20:31,380 --> 00:20:32,715
Ohh.
478
00:20:32,748 --> 00:20:34,750
You guys are about
to make life, not end it.
479
00:20:34,784 --> 00:20:36,085
Okay. Well, continue.
480
00:20:36,117 --> 00:20:37,753
There's way too many candles
in here, though.
481
00:20:37,787 --> 00:20:39,087
It's a fire hazard. So just...
482
00:20:39,121 --> 00:20:40,818
...keep that in mind.
483
00:20:40,843 --> 00:20:42,295
All right. Thank you.
484
00:20:42,319 --> 00:20:43,519
