10 Signs You Have An Unhealthy Relationship With Target

There comes a time in everyone’s life where they realize that they have a go-to store; whether it be a place to find the perfect pair of nude heels for your hot date, or a shark-themed onesie to bum around in, this store is where you go. And usually, that ends up being Target. If you find that any of the following things apply to you, you may have a slight addiction.

1. Every time you have the smallest need, you immediately jump to a trip to Target. “Oh, I need pens for work? Target time.” If this is your initial thought when any small personal need comes up, and you have the compulsion to go there immediately, things may be a little on the addicted side.

2. When you walk through the doors, your mood immediately brightens. Because who doesn’t love a place with great deals, cute clothes, home décor, AND cheap movies for only $4.75?

3. You justify buying everything in the dollar section. “I mean, it’salmost Halloween. How am I supposed to live without 10 pairs of cartoon zombie socks and a plastic polka-dotted pumpkin? THEY’RE ALL $1.”

4. Then when you get to apparel, you notice that everything in your wardrobe is dulled in comparison to these new sweaters on the rack. Obviously, you throw one in your cart, because why wouldn’t you? They’re 25 percent off!

5. In electronics, everything becomes cooler than it is when it’s in Best Buy, and you begin to pile $5 movies into your cart. It only makes sense because you’ve been wanting "Miss Congeniality" 1 and 2 for forever, and now it’s here. In front of you. For $4.75. And since there’s a little red target on it that only makes it more appealing.

6. Entering the holiday department feels like magic. How else would you know that the seasons are changing, other than entering Target and seeing the new Christmas display? You wouldn’t, because Target is the ultimate source of holiday fun.


7. Grocery shopping seems exponentially more fun. You're already in such a good mood, even grocery shopping seems to go a long with getting that new pair of earrings you needed to match your dress for dinner this weekend. The food seems healthier, and saving the gas on going from the grocery store to a retail store makes things just that much better.

8. As you walk through the remaining isles, you immediately realize that you need everything they sell. “Oh, 40 watt lightbulbs? Wow, I didn’t have these on my list but they’re so cheap and they have an adorable label with animated dancing light bulbs on them! And this blanket? I don’t really need this, but it’s so soft and it’s only $25…”

9. When you’re at the checkout, you automatically become horrified by the total. “Your total is $78.23.” WHAT. I just got…oh wait…I got a million things I didn’t need…but they’re all so cute, and I’ll use them anyway…eh, whatever.


10. But even through all of these poor shopping decisions, you’re still beyond pleased with yourself. Why? Because you went to Target, and had an awesome time looking at all of their random, cool “necessities.”

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
