The 10 Stages of Going To Target

Exhilarating and exhausting, all at the same time.

The 10 Stages of Going To Target
Imgur

Ahh, Target. The place where you go in for tampons and peanut butter and come out with 17 dish towels, 38 things from the dollar section, and cake mix because it was on sale... and you obviously forgot the tampons and peanut butter.

1. The List



Trying to find a spot that doesn't have a cart in it or isn't handicap within 12 rows from the door is a nightmare.

2. Entering the store

You see the Starbucks and your only thought is, Wow I totally need a pumpkin spice latte right now even though I had Dunkin' literally two hours ago.


3. The Dollar Section

Oh, I totally need this little sign for my desk that says, "I'm glad I swiped right for you!" I'll put it right next to the picture of my boyfriend...


4. Clothes

Oh my god, look at the $ 10 sweaters.


5. The Dressing Room

When clothes actually fit right.

6. The Electronics Section


Playing with the new iPhones and iPads and fancy speaker systems in the electronic sections that you're too poor to every think about buying.

7. Movies


When you pick up three of the $5 movies that you've seen 100 times but obviously need to own on DVD even though they're all on Netflix.

8. The Seasonal Section


When you realize that either A.) the seasonal section is Christmas themed and Halloween was yesterday, B.) the seasonal section is school supplies and there are still like 12 hours of summer left so obviously you don't need to shop yet, or C). the seasonal section is Valentine's Day and you're going to die alone.

9. Waiting in Line


When the line is 800 years long because they have two registers open during peak hours.

10. Exiting

Checking out and realizing that you got nothing on your list and that you still somehow spent upwards of $75. At least you snagged that $3 mason jar, though!

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
