Polished transcript:

Male Female

I'm not really into shopping because I prefer to keep things simple. I don't prioritize appearances as much as I do my intelligence and knowledge. I believe we should focus our energy on learning and studying. This way, we can become more intelligent, which can also be attractive to others. Plus, if I go on a shopping spree, I'll likely spend all my money. Then I wouldn't have enough to support my studies. That's why I try to avoid shopping as much as possible.

Actual audio transcript (What native speakers are likely to hear):

I’m not really into shopping because I want to be as basic as possible. I don’t care about my appearances as much as I care about my wit and my knowledge. I think that we should divert our focus into studying. So that we can appear more smart, uh, be, uh, smarter. And also attractive to the ladies. And also, I think that if I indulge myself into a shopping spree, then I will burn all of my money. And I won’t have sufficient finance to support my studies. And that is why I try to avoid shopping as much as I can.
