It's so okay to be motivated by it but in the end don't beat yourself up if your day isn't all sunshine and productivity. Know that social media is just a highlight for the good parts of people's lives.
I really appreciate the critical thought towards the trend in this video and I wanted to add another perspective! I see the trend as classist and ableist if I’m being completely honest. The aesthetic associated with the trend, as Nina said, is linked to the able bodied white girl who meets contemporary beauty standards, and has access to the resources, such as money, that allow them to have the things associated with this trend, the time to do all of these things, and again the capable body and access to gyms, etc to complete the look. I don’t think there is anything wrong with living your best life, but your best life looks different for everyone and the homogenized ideal, as in any idealized trend, mostly serves to make those who can’t achieve it feel less than. That’s my take on it!
On point.
No one talks about this enough. i've never been fond of this trend.
Your critical commentary was very insightful, I hope you can do more videos like this. Also, love your fit in this video!
i love the variety of vids on your channel, like the mix of vlogs and sit down videos
I've been seeing this trend so much on all social platforms. I loved the way you addressed it and I'm glad someone is talking about it
Love this video! I think it’s always important to gain perspective on the videos we are watching and even tho the “becoming that girl” trend is fun it’s still flawed
i love this!! I also get so nervous for job interviews and always google questions and do preparations, and it's still so scary. appreciate you Nina!
LOVE this video!
It's 3:30 am and this video right here is sooo goood. now I am not gonna sleep
I love ur videos!!! 🥰🥰
i love ur critical thinkinggg
yaaaaaz new video
this video turned out to be SO helpful. really wish I had found this earlier
I love your videos 🥰
this is in a good way: this video's "bestdressed" channel vibes are strong
Yo the consumerism point is 👌🏼👌🏼 it’s the moment of purchasing those things (eg. notebooks, yoga mats… etc.) that give u gratification, and u think ur being productive just by buying them. Most ppl don’t even use them afterwards.
may i say i consider you one of the best variants of "that girl"
everytime i see your videos not only do i feel inspired to be more vain but also smart, healthy and confident without the consumerism and toxic-aesthetic part of this trend. cheers from latin-america :)
I can watch nina roasting Kardashians for decades.
I gotta be honest, I only saw the negatives of this trend but you opened my eyes to some of the positives :)
bro it’s definitely a “am i a white girl” vs “that girl” hahahha
Hi Nina, I love your videos! What do you use to edit them?
Exactly!!! It IS about race. Say it louder, Nina
Stress usually comes from not addressing something you should be addressing which you can have some control over
YESSS
You're ace for all you say here
Bruh you could have mentioned that Curology is only US based... I was so excited to try it out :/
LOL i'm brazilian, and i'm looking for that black girl and it's so hard find it!!! it's sooooo expansive this lifestyle!!
That is a great blouse.
hi bestie lovee the top :) where did you get it from!
I'm sorry but I'm a little confused. If this trend is about living a healthy lifestyle and showing how they deal with stress then why is it problematic? I get how constantly seeing photoshopped images of models can be damaging and problematic. This is my first time hearing about the "THAT girl" trend.
@@ScrollTD I don't think it's fair to say she's a hater. Also, this apparently isn't a viewpoint unique to her so to just write it off as "hatin ass women" isn't a responsible thing to do. Plus she goes to MIT for computer science I don't think there is much for her to hate on lol.
the point here is that constantly trying to force yourself into a trendy lifestyle of perpetually being on top of your game could potentially lead to burnout and more stress and anxiety. its a dangerous game to play if u have this mindset that u are living a shitty lifestyle by waking up at 10am and eating fastfood at times, ...it doesn't mean u can't be productive if u wake up at 9am / 10 am/ 12pm/ 2pm... At the end of the day , its how u prioritize ur time and the that girl trend is problematic as it oversimplifies the idea of having an ideal lifestyle given that everyone's lifestyle is different and the that girl trend is definitely not a one size fit all solution that guarantees productivity .and in the long run, it could lead to burnout
+ the financial burden!!
not everyone can afford those lattes, books, rugs, scented candles, home decor, pretty clothing, and all that aesthetic stuff. I'm sorry but I don't wake up to have the most beautiful room (or even having a room by myself) and I can't afford those things. But what is being showcased is just these people living the best lives ever (which I'm happy about) but it can make others, who can't live that lifestyle, to feel bad about themselves. Someone working a low paying job, doesn't has the time and/or money to live that kind of "that girl" lifestyle, and it can lead to a feeling of inferiority.
and what if you do end up following this trend but you realise you still don't look like "that girl". That skinny white aesthetic girl who is highly privileged, not everyone can simply achieve that.
but yes, I do think there are quite a few positives as well but you just can't ignore the negatives. have a good day and I hope you are fine :))
@@caratseungcheoll8966 definitely!
@@xxxxx22410 thank you for your perspectives! After reading your responses I realized that I completely overlooked the nuances and implications of these videos. I also feel some type of way when I watch videos of other college kids with internships and such so I can sympathize with what girls must feel when they watch "THAT girl" videos. Have a great life and good luck with whatever you are pursuing!

That Girl trend is NOT positive at all.
