An Ode To Target

An Ode To Target

There are two types of people in America; people who love Target, and people who are wrong. I, for one, am always in the mood for a Target-run. Target is my addiction. I am obsessively infatuated with all that is Target. They have anything and everything you could ever need or your heart could ever desire.

Shopping for your college dorm? Go to Target.

Run out of conditioner? Go to Target.

Need a new bikini? Go to Target.

Craving some sugar cookies? You guessed it, Target.

The list goes on, Target has a multitude of things you didn't even know you needed until you saw it on sale at the end of aisle six. And yes, of course you make the trip needing one thing and leave with four full carts-worth of items but they are ALL justified purchases because you’re leaving with so much great new stuff! True Target shoppers know there’s no such thing as a ‘quick trip to Target’, we all get lost in the labyrinth of low-price, enticing products. The great thing about Target is somehow you are able to convince yourself that you need all these things; even if you had never heard of Velour hand towels after seeing them in Target, you are now insisting that your life will be inadequate without five of them.

There is really nothing you couldn’t find in the glorious LED-lit aisles of Targets everywhere. Take a stroll through the home decor or the craft section for some creative inspiration, walk through the electronics section and scope out the perfect camera for your next vacation, pick out a newborn onesie for a perfect present for the new family baby: Target can fill any need life throws your way.

I promise this isn’t a promo, but Target is the best! Now some Targets have become Super Targets and even sell produce and food! You now do not have a single reason to do your shopping anywhere else. You can run all your weekly errands in one beautiful place.

Parents, children and students can all find things they love at Target. What store in the mall is going to satisfy your whole family? Target is a one-stop-please-all shop and they have high quality products, reasonable prices, and a trusted reputation...Does a corporation get any more perfect?

In modern American society, I think the little things that keep us happy are crucial. Retail therapy doesn’t always have to be exercised at Saks Fifth Avenue. So go to Target and buy some sugary cereal, buy a new sports bra, or a new lamp for your living room; your wallet will definitely be happier. Experience the windowless heaven, spend some pocket money, and forget how complicated life has become in the world of young adulthood. Experience the simple joy of a trip to 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.
