The 10 Stages of Going To Target

Exhilarating and exhausting, all at the same time.

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!

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
