The 10 Stages Of Shopping At Target, As Told By Rachel Green
Bussiness Insider

Target — it's a place that we visit weekly.

It's a place that we all can't live without. It's the place where organized shopping lists and budgets go to die. You may walk in saying, "I only need these five items", but you will walk out with a solid 20 items instead.

If there is one person who embodies almost everyone in Target, it is none other than the fabulous Rachel Green from "FRIENDS." Rachel has a full blown shopping addiction, just like we all have a full blown Target addiction.

Target is the place that just has everything under the sun that we "need" and while it's an unhealthy addiction, let's face it, you can't stop.

1. When you realize that your pay check came in or your family sent you some spending money and you're ready to go blow it at Target.

There's no better feeling in the whole world, really.

2. When you walk through the magical entrance and go to get your cart, even though you told yourself that you wouldn't get a cart.

The greeters wave at you and you wave back. If you are a true Target addict, you're on first name basis with some of them.

3. When you walk up to the dollar aisle and buy the most unnecessary things, but you want them so it's fine.

You're already off task and buying things that aren't on the list, but whatever. There's just too many cute little things and they are only $1.

4. When you walk around the clothing section and find a super cute sundress or any other item you do not need.

*Has three million Target sundresses already, but what's one more?*

5. When you walk around the corner and see that Chip and Joanna Gaines have their home collection at Target.

You have to buy stuff from the line, it is Chip and Joanna Gaines that we are talking about. So you buy a few decor items that you know you will never use and have no room for.

6. You buy some snacks.

You need energy for shopping, after all.

7. You then buy toiletries that you know you don't need, but they are on sale.

Who doesn't buy Advil in bulk? It's on sale, so it's justified.

8. Then you start the walk to the register and the guilt hits you.

You're just thinking, "What have I done?"

9. "The total is WHAT?"

I should have totally avoided the dollar aisle, but what's done is done.

10. You may leave feeling some shame, but it's OK because you're a Target addict and you have come to terms with your addiction.

You come to the conclusion that you should stick to the list and only the list, but deep down you know that won't ever happen.

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.
