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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
