It happened... Again

Target, the place where you can buy tampons, laundry detergent, shoes and cereal all in one place. I don't know what it is about Target that blows every other commercial, general merchandise store out of the water but it is a truly magical place. Maybe it's the spacious carts, the giant red logo, or the fact that you can not leave without buying half of the store. Here are ten stages that happen when you plan to go to target.

1. The List

Okay, I need milk, eggs, and laundry detergent. That is it. It will be ten minutes tops. I will not buy anything else. I will stick to the list this time; milk, eggs, laundry detergent.

2. The Dollar Section

One of the best things Target has t offer. With your frappuccino in hand, you scour the small section in front of the store. Yes, I will still stick to the list but honestly what will a few rainbow post its and candles going to hurt? Besides, you can not beat these prices.


3. The Fashion section

30% off? Okay! I don't have a dress like this. Since it's 30% off I guess I could buy one in blue as well. Is the jewelry on sale as well? I guess I can take a look.


4. What did I come here for again?

At this point, you've got a cart and it's already half full. None of what is in there is actually on your list. But it's fine. Everything is fine.

5. The Electronic section

Play with all the new technology and look at the new iPhone as you discretely hide your outdated iPhone in your pocket. The Target employee is being very helpful, little does he know that you're too poor to buy anything in this section.

6. Leaving Target

With 13 bags later… So much for milk, eggs, and laundry detergent only. Shit... Forgot the laundry detergent.

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.
