20 Thoughts We All Have While Shopping

Because you can't go to Target for just one thing.

20 Thoughts We All Have While Shopping

How many of us spend far too much time in any given store than we need to?

I know that I am very prone to walking every single aisle of a store, deep (and not so deep) in though. Hey, at least I'm getting my extra steps in. Many of us use shopping to distract ourselves and unwind from a long day, others dread it and try to get in and out as quickly as humanly possible.

Here is a list of things that I personally think about while shopping at Target. Maybe some of you can relate.

1. "Did I remember to switch out the laundry?"


2. "Good thing I made a list before I came in here. I feel like I'm finally figuring out this adult thing."

3. "What should I make for dinner next Saturday?"

4. "I really need socks. Note to self: do not leave without socks."


5. "I need to get a new organizer... but then I would have to actually take the time to use it. Why can't all my bills just pay themselves?"

6. "I need to paint the living room walls."

7. "I don't care if it's too small, it'll give me something to work for! It's 50% off!"


8. "I need to try this on, but that would involve taking off my pants and shoes, and who really had time for that? Screw it, I can just return it or give it away if it doesn't fit."

9. "Maybe this style will fit me now... nope, still looks like a busted open can of biscuits."

10. "This is CUTE!...HA NOT FOR THAT PRICE!"

11. "Are infinity scarves still a thing? I've always wanted one but I really don't know where I would wear but... oh well, in the cart it goes!"



12. "Alright, time to get serious. No more distractions. What's next on my list? Dog food already? How does he eat so much!"

13. "If the dog gets treats, I get treats. Ooo, those super yummy strawberry thumbprint cookies are on sale again! Time to stock up."


14. "I FORGOT TO LOAD THE LAUNDRY MACHINE."

15. "I need a new candle, just to make up for the stress I endure coming in here. Make that two."

16. "Do I really need any of this? These lines are all way too long."

17. "Oh well, it's not like I have anywhere else to be. Besides in sweatpants on the couch. Which I have an appointment for, so these coupon ladies need to keep it moving."

18. "CRAP, I forgot toilet paper. To the back of the store I go. Maybe the lines will die down a little bit."

19. "Nope, still the same people at the registers and the lines are even longer. Time to get a coffee."

20. "I'm glad I made this list or else I would have taken all day!"

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
