We've all been there. You go to target for one thing and next you know, you have five carts and have spent $200.

How it happens, I honestly cannot tell you. There is just something about the white floors and those fluorescent lights that put you into a trance. Came for your laundry detergent? Well, you left with six boots, makeup, random decorations and a maybe even a new house. But you did not leave with the laundry detergent, which means you have to go back and the same thing happens. I know that I have been to target every day this week and one day I went twice.

Target is magical and you cannot fight me on that.

1. You walk into Target, probably for just one thing

You go for laundry detergent and are determinded to stick to that.........spolier, that does not happen

2. You don't even grab a cart or basket because you're there for one thing, right

This will be a grave mistake on your end

3. It all starts with walking around the dollar section

Okay this is more of a $3 and $5 section now, but whats the difference really?

4. You grab holiday decorations because theres always a reason to decorate 

I currently have a decked out halloween apartment because of this

5. You try to make it to the cleaning supplies, but get distracted by the clothes

You already have full hands, but you have to walk around the whole store.

6. You go through all the clothes, every brand they have 

There is A New Day, Universal Thread and even more

7. You realize that you must accept defeat and head back to the front to grab a cart

You went on for as long as you could, dropping various things along the way.

8. Now with the cart, you can fill it with everything in sight

9. You had back towards the clothes, but wait they have new shoes in 

10. You grab two pairs of boots 

why? Well because you had to. Did you need those boots? No, but its target so it just happened

11. Now through the electronics

I usually pass this aisle because once I bought a TV and that CANNOT happen again

12. Now to the holiday section, where it is decked out depending on which holiday it is

Right now, mine is all halloween, which I keep buying everything from

13. Three bags of halloween candy later and you're ready to move on the next section 

14. Add a few dog toys to the cart because the doggo can never have too many toys

15. Now to the BEST section, the home decor

Honestly half my apartment is decorated with this stuff, it's a gold mine guys.

16. You add a few paintings and maybe even some decorative pillows to your overflowing cart

You might need another cart because those three pillows aren't fitting too well

17. After you have completely redecorated your house, you head to the office supply 

You might need those new pens for when you have take notes that one time

18. Ehhhh, you also need a few notebooks to0

They match the wall decorations you just got, you are going to be that extra

19. You finally make it to the cash registers

It is that sad time when you have to get ready to leave target

20. But you grab a few lip balms in the line because you need your purse lip balm, room lip balm and car lip balm replaced

21. You unload everything from your cart onto the belt, just now realizing how much stuff you actually got 

22. The cashier says $200 and you don't even understand how that happened

23. $200 later and you didn't even get the laundry detergent

Now you just get to go back tomorrow and do it all over again.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
