A Love Letter To Target

To me you will always be number one, sorry Walmart.

A Love Letter To Target
Huffington Post

Dear Target,

You will forever be the love of my life, your long aisles of cheap prices and colorful water bottles have kept me happy for years to come. Your fogged up food fridge cases give me loads of options on whether I want to eat Dino-Nuggets with my friends or mini pizza bagels in front of the TV with Friends on repeat. To me you will always be number one, sorry Walmart. Your clothing lines, especially Knox Rose and swimsuits make me more than happy, and the prices aren’t too steep either. All my exercise tops and leggings finally get me to the gym, and I have you to thank.

My obsession with the Sims games began with your electronic aisle, months and months behind a computer screen, a conversation starter, a home planner. You made my room a master piece. My white pristine furniture and "Believe in the Beauty of Your Dreams" painting still hangs up in my dorm room. You made me want to organize, to pack, to put things away. I bought folders, pencils, letter holders, and staplers from you. You created my love for stationary.

You became a stop on our constant daily road trips. A stop in Starbucks and a frolic between the aisles where my friends and I came across bouncy balls, video game trials, and uncooked cookie dough. You were my after swim practice reward. My beginning with a basket that became too loaded so I had to return for a cart. I’m sorry I just really love your mugs. Your dollar section too. I’ve gotten more mason jars and notebooks there than I’ve known what to do with. You’ve got some pretty nice coloring books as well. If I just needed a walk to cheer me up, I’d drive the twenty minutes to you, because the second I walk through your red and white doors my mood does a 360.

Thanks for being there for me around Christmas time, you always have the best fuzzy socks and book selection. I’ve gotten a few too many fuzzy red blankets from your bedding section as well. The only part that saddens me is when I have to leave, when I’m sitting in the car remembering I forgot two, three, maybe even four of the things I came in for but left with fifteen different items.

You’ve got killer pajamas too.

Thanks for always being there for me Target, I can always count on you.

Love always,

The Target Shopaholic

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
