15 Thoughts Everyone Has When They Are Back To School Shopping At Target

Target is already one of the most dangerous places to shop, but at Back to School time it gets so much more dangerous. Join me as I take you through my thought process as I wander through Target.

1. Okay, this will only take 20 minutes...

Giphy

The famous words I say to myself every time I go through Target. I think I have only accomplished this...5 times in my life.

2. Oh! Let me go check the Dollar Spot!

Giphy

The Dollar Spot is the most dangerous spot in the whole store. Remind me again, why I do not need a scarf rack when I already have 6?

3. 3 for 20 on Tee Shirts? I need every color for school!

Giphy

Target has the softest tee shirts around, they are the best Back to School fashion statement. But remember that sometimes, less is more. You do not need 10 of the same black shirt.

4. I wonder if I can wear these pajamas and not have anyone know they are pajamas

Giphy

Nothing says college student more than wearing pajamas to class. The best type though are the ones that do not even look like pajamas! But trust me, people will know because you are not the only one who had that same thought!

5. I think I should read a book that is not a textbook

Giphy

All the books that I am not required to read!

6. Why can't I be 5 again to have this?

Giphy

When I look at all the sparkly backpacks with the Disney Princesses on them I instantly wish that they would be big enough for me to use, but also that it would be trendy.

7. Wow, look it how pretty all the pens are!

Giphy

All the pens I buy, but I never have one when I need to take an exam.

8. I need all the folders

Giphy

THEY HAVE LLAMAS ON THEM! AND THIS ONE HAS TACOS ON IT. I NEED THEM ALL.

9. Wait, how much is this stuff?!

Giphy

Coming back to reality for a second is the most frighting moment of the whole experience.

10. I need to put this stuff back

Giphy

Trying to fix the damage. Realizing I do need 45 packs of pencils, 20 notebooks, and 10 pencil cases.

11. Well now I am hungry, I need snacks

Giphy

I thought I just ate, but I might as well get some Cheese It's and some apples...

12. Oh! Maybe I should get new makeup before school starts!

Giphy

The fact that I never wear makeup to school but I am too far into the blackhole that is Target.

13. I am SO happy

Giphy

The feeling of euphoria every girl has in Target

14. THAT TOTAL IS LONGER THAN MY PHONE NUMBER

Giphy

The dreaded moment.

15. I am in serious trouble now

Giphy

But I really do not care because now I am ready to rock this school year!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
