So if you're anything like me, you get that tingly feeling every time you come within 10 miles of a Target. Is that a headache coming on? Nope, just coming relatively close to the greatest store on Earth. Here are six reasons why Target, in fact, is the greatest store on Earth.

1. It has EVERYTHING.

Your list of things could range from bananas, to tampons, to sneakers, to a certain CD and Target has it all. I mean where else can you go that has a little bit of everything? (Okay, you can go to Walmart but let's be honest, it can be really scary there sometimes).

2. The Cartwheel App.

You're not a true Target-holic if you don't have the Cartwheel app or if you don't completely search the app before making your list and seeing what is on sale. Oh, Tazo tea is five percent off? You didn't need three more boxes? Well, you do now! But not only does the Cartwheel app haunt your dreams, it also there for you as soon as you wake up with the "Good morning shopper!" notifications. When you first woke up, you didn't think you needed to go to Target, but after looking at the weekly ad you do now!

3. The sales in general.

The clearance section is addicting. Was it really a Target run if you didn't make sure that you hit each and every one? Clothes clearance? Check. Shoe clearance? Check. Makeup clearance? Check check check. Most importantly though, you know what day each of the sections gets marked down during the week.

4. The $1 to $5 section.

I love how they strategically place the $1 to $5 section as soon as you walk in. Like couldn't you at least let me walk 50 ft in the store before my cart is full of things that aren't even on my list? Who knew I needed every color/kind of cute sticky notes that Target has to offer? But at least they were only a dollar!!

5. The REDcard.

The idea of the REDcard is a brilliant idea for anyone making profits from the company. The idea of the REDcard is a terrible idea for anyone that now has $4.22 left in their checking account because a 20-minute Target run turned into a six day marathon...$200 later. But hey, at least you saved five percent!

6. The atmosphere.

When you step into Target, you know immediately that everyone who is in there is in the same position as you are. You all came there with a list of four to seven things, but now you are leaving with 47 things. But everything is okay because this happens to everyone. The dad scrambling to gather his children came in here for toothpaste and is leaving with nine new toys, a card for his mom's birthday and baby wipes...but will forget the toothpaste. Three teen girls come in for new bathings suits, but leave with three new bathing suits, sunglasses, a beach bag, sunscreen, makeup wipes and a decorative lemon. You are not alone.

Those that Target together, stay together.

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.
