The 5 Definitive Stages Of Shopping At Target

Let's be honest: Target is both a blessing and a curse.

The 5 Definitive Stages Of Shopping At Target

Target is a place you go to when nothing (or everything) is going right. From comfort foods to cute clothes and decorations, Target is the homestead of everything you need at a next to affordable price. The problem is once you get there, there's no telling what could happen!

1. "I'm only going there for milk."

Two hours later, you're leaving with a new wardrobe, new makeup, some candles and cat food (do you even have a cat? Who knows, but it was on sale), and you'll be back tomorrow because of course you forgot to grab milk.

2. Raiding the clearance bins.

99% of my Target trips are spent right inside the doors looking through the cheap bins. Coloring books, candles and pot holders, toys, you name it- they are conveniently located two steps away from the entrance. Soon your shopping basket turns into a cart and your list floated right out of the doors with your self control.

3. Excitement.

Yoga pants are 20% off? Clearance sales on NYX and E.L.F? Sign me right up!

4. Denial.

You did need that $25 shirt that had the Mean Girls quote on it, and 14 new soy candles that all smell like fall. You need them.

5. Guilt.

Even though you don't have enough money for gas this week, your new liner is on point, along with that new outfit and your whole house now looks (and smells!) like it just came right off of HGTV. Thanks Target!

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.

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.
