The 12 Stages Of Shopping At Target

I don't know about you, but I always fall victim to this vicious cycle of behavior every time I take a trip to Target.

If you're like me, Target is the go-to store for all of your needs. From clothes to food; you can find about anything in one convenient location. I don't know what it is about Target, but something about the store makes it just so fun to go to. I don't know about you, but I always fall victim to this vicious cycle of behavior every time I take a trip to Target.

1. Making a list of things you need to buy.

2. Telling yourself over and over again how you are there to buy the things on the list and nothing but the list.

3. Making a quick stop at the Starbucks in the store.

4. Getting distracted by the "dollar" section.

5. Start filling up your basket with cute holiday decorations from the "dollar" section.

6. Making your way through your normal path through the store.

7. Checking out the clothes and shoe section to see if they have anything new.

8. Noticing things are on sale that you never knew you needed.

9. Your basket is getting a little heavy so you upgrade to a cart.

10. The pain you feel when the cashier tells you your total.

11. Convincing yourself that it's OK that you deviated from your list.

12. Telling yourself that you will be more focused next time.

13. Repeat.

Like I said before, there is something about entering a Target store that makes all of my self-control fade away, but I will gladly hand over my money willingly every time.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
