Four Reasons Target Is An Absolute Trap
Safer Chemicals

Every time I enter a Target store, I have no intention of spending my entire paycheck; however, it always seems to happen somehow. I find it nearly impossible to spend less than an hour there just because everything they have to offer is so fantastic and alluring. These sections of the store are the ones I try to avoid but never can:

1. Clothes

As soon as you walk into my local Target, you’re faced with a variety of bathing suits, dresses, and other clothing items. Of course it’s necessary to browse through the many aisles of clothes I don’t need and buy another bathing suit.

2. Home

Shopping in Target’s home department makes me wish I had my own house to decorate. They always have the cutest throw pillows and blankets, but what seems to get me every time is their vast selection of picture frames. For someone like me who loves pictures and displaying them, this aisle is what I imagine heaven will look like.

3. Office Supplies

Do I really need a new pack of highlighters or a stapler in the middle of the summer? No, but you know I’m going to buy them anyway. Target also does a lovely job of selling color coordinating notebooks, folders, binders, etc. so I simply can never resist no matter how much I truly do not need more school supplies.

4. Containers

My final Target weakness is their wide selection of containers. Water bottles, thermoses, baskets, I want them all. My thought process goes as follows: “Do I use water bottles? No, but when I buy this cute one for $25 I will!” I also never have enough stuff to put in the numerous storage containers I buy, but I totally will someday and I’ll be happy I dropped all of my money on them.


In closing, if you ever need a lot of random items and don’t care how much you spend, Target is the place to be. However, if you’re ballin’ on a budget, try Walmart; you won't want to stay long, thus saving your bank account.

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.
