Confessions Of A Target Shopaholic

All Targets are created equal. It doesn't matter if its a Super Target or a basic Target, they all create the same warm fuzzies on the inside. I'm not going to lie, there's an extra bonus, if the said Target has a Starbucks inside. There is nothing better than walking around the dollar spot with your venti iced caramel macchiato in hand. I'm not really sure when my Target obsession started, but when I walk past those big red balls and grab a cart, all of my sadness, anxiety, and stress melt away. I am not really a shopper, I hate walking around big malls, my legs get tired and I get bored way too easily. However when those beautiful Target doors open I become a shopper because Target has everything and I mean everything that I could possibly need.

I go to Target at least once a week and each time, I find something that I need. I may go in with the intention of buying shampoo and conditioner, but I guarantee I will walk out with a new bottle of nail polish, new swim suit, and at least five items from the dollar spot. My entire wardrobe is now compiled of rompers, sundresses, and fancy shorts from Target, because why go anywhere else?

If you need to get a gift Target is the perfect place to go! You can put together an entire gift bag worth of amazing stuff right in the dollar spot. Then as you progress through the store you can get a funny coffee mug, an adult coloring book, or even a really cool wine tumbler. I promise you that if Target is done right, it will look like the most put together gift you've ever given and people might actually think you have your stuff together.

The beautiful thing about Super Targets is that you can go and tell everyone that you are going to be grocery shopping, when really you are just casually walking around your happy place. However, of course, you are going to pick up some Market Pantry cheese squares and some Archer Farms mixes along the way so that you can prove you were actually grocery shopping.

Now let's talk about their home goods section. Every single time I step into this section I contemplate redoing my apartment or my bedroom. This is the most dangerous section of the store because in about 10 minutes I'm contemplating buying seashell pillows, a new blue comforter, and a gold pineapple candle, and thinking about transforming my room into something new.

However, my favorite section is definitely the office supply section. I get immense satisfaction from picking out a new Sky Blue planner and gel pens so that I can better schedule my trips to Target. I get overjoyed when the school supplies go out, and go crazy over picking matching notebooks, folders, and pencils for my next semester.

I must confess that I am true Target shopaholic, and I don't foresee it ending anytime soon. So this is for all you people out there who are addicted to Target and are willing and ready to accept it. Go to Target now and shop that dollar spot, pretend to go grocery shopping, or pick out a new swimsuit, feed that Target addiction and have zero shame about it!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
