1. What?

2. This is INSANE.

3. I think you could fit 10 mansions in this building.

4. How do you even get in?

5. There's an escalator. There's an escalator in the store.

6. Ok, now where do I go?

7. Oh look, there's a map!

8. Wait, there's a map of the store?

9. This is like its own mall.

10. I'm not going to be able to get through this whole place before it closes.

11. It smells like cinnamon.

12. THEY'LL WATCH YOUR KIDS FOR YOU.

13. REPEAT: they basically have their own day care.

14. Ok, how do I get to the actual store?

15. What's this? Is this a grocery store?? IN IKEA?!?

16. Oh, and there's a cafe.

17. Maybe I should get meatballs; that's a thing here, right?

18. Ok, I found the kitchens.

19. Wow, I definitely need a double oven.

20. And a huge island.

21. I love these countertops, are they quartz?

22. Binge watching HGTV is really paying off.

23.You know, I don't like these cabinets as much.

24. And that fridge is kind of small...

25. WHAT AM I SAYING.

26. I would be lucky to have any of this in my house.

27. Do I need bowls? These are so cute.

28. No. No. Keep walking, I'm just looking.

29. Ok wait, they have entire studio apartments??

30. I WANT TO LIVE HERE.

31. Wait, aren't I supposed to get a pencil?

32. Not important, I have to look at this closet.

34. Everything is so organized here.

35. If I could organize my house like this, I would 100% have a better life.

36. There is so much cube shelving.

37. I feel like I'm surrounded by cubes.

38. WAIT. LOOK AT THIS BATHROOM.

39. Who wants to go through all the different counters and cabinets when you can just buy an entire showroom?

40. Or studio apartment?

41. I want to get a studio apartment just so I can decorate it the same way IKEA did.

42. I've never seen so many couches in my life.

43. I can't pronounce any of these names.

44. It smells like wood.

45. Why does wood smell so good? It's like walking into Lowes or Home Depot, but better because it's IKEA.

46. I'm lost.

47. Where do I go? I don't know where I am.

48. Oh wow, there are arrows on floor to tell you which way to go!

49. Correction: the arrows are not actually on the ground, they're projected from a light.

50. I feel like I'm in another dimension.

51. They have a program where you basically design your house.

52. This is real life HGTV.

53. What the heck, they have a huge cafeteria in addition to the cafe.

54. They sell succulents.

55. I've never wanted a succulent before in my life but now I want one, just because it's from IKEA.

56. Ok wait, now it looks like I'm in a warehouse?

57. THIS IS WHERE ALL THE FURNITURE IS. THIS IS WHERE THEY KEEP IT.

58. I basically just found gold.

59. So, you just get the furniture yourself?

60. What even is this place?

61. Oh, it smells like cinnamon again.

62. I think I just walked through Heaven.

63. I wish I could stay here forever.

64. It's not like I would need anything that IKEA doesn't already have.

65. I can't wait to be a real adult with a real house and a real job so I can come back and buy everything.

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.

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.

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.
