I dunno. It's weird. The guy's absolutely convinced he's going to walk into a job after graduation because he "looks the part", like employers are just going to look at his hipster style and not care that his portfolio is a dumpster fire. He's got the laziness of someone who was smart enough to coast through school without putting in any effort, and hasn't woken up to the fact that a degree takes more than that.
Ah, yeah, privilege
And yet, shockingly, he's not from a privileged background - he's from a single parent family and his mother has spent her entire adult life on social security.
You don't need to be privileged yourself to be drawn into it's appeal. Surely it'll be there for you, if you just do the right things! After all you're not all that different, right?
