An Ode To The Target Dollar Section From A Broke College Girl

Even on your worst and most unorganized days, you still manage to help me find something worth my dollar.

To the Target Dollar Section,

Visiting Target was already an exciting trip, but with you, the drive to Target becomes twice as exciting. Where do I even begin? From your consistent supply of adorable notepads, pencils, and clipboards, to your wide variety of seasonal socks & decorations, and to your cheap (but still stylish) assorted wine glasses and dish towels. You never fail to always have me leaving the store with a smile. So thank you, for all of the joy that you have provided me with.

Thank you for showing me things that I never even knew I needed, and for always being considerate with the price. Even on the days when I just came to Target for some foundation and yogurt, you always seem to catch my eye. You have the best assortments of cheap glitter, cactus shaped erasers, and sometimes even take with cats on it.

Who would have known that I could have gotten all of my school supplies for a total of 12 dollars, and who would have known that I could buy a decent smelling candle for only 1 dollar?

One of my favorite qualities about you is how you always have holiday socks and decorations for me. Halloween, Christmas and Valentine's Day would not be the same without you.

My living room, kitchen, wallet, & roommates are eternally thankful for your wide assortment of holiday wreaths, felt pumpkins, decorative signs, and twinkle Christmas lights.

Thank you for always being there to cheer me up. Whether it be because of a rough exam, because I'm homesick, or because I'm feeling stressed out, you are always there to put a smile on my face. I can walk into Target and head straight to you, and leave feeling much better about myself. (mostly because I'm either leaving with a new notebook or some new stickers for my computer.)

Thank you for never failing to supply me with the best birthday gifts. As a typical broke college student, buying gifts for everyone would be impossible without you by my side. You have given me some of the best last minute party surprises, & have helped me put countless smiles on my friend's faces. (You have also helped me throw some of the best surprise parties.)

Even on your worst and most unorganized days, you still manage to help me find something worth my dollar. Thank you for helping me forget the main reason I even came to Target in the first place.

Thank you, Target dollar section, for all of the things I don't need, and all of the things I didn't know I needed.

See you soon,

A Broke (and Reasonable) College Student.

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.
