An Open Love Letter To Target

Dearest Target,

As I sit and write this letter, my roommate and I are making plans to visit you for the second time in two days. It is not uncommon that we go four times a week, and not unheard of to go twice in one day.

What can we say? We, like so many others, cannot stay away.

You provide for all my needs. You understand that it is convenient to buy a new sweater, printer ink, milk, and electrical tape all at one time in one place. You do not judge me when I do, in fact, buy all these things together.

Your iconic logo is comforting. There is no feeling than recognizing that red bullseye and knowing that anything I need is just a short ways away. The bull terrier depicted on your marketing signs looks happy and ready to welcome me back, like I am an old friend (because I am).

You are organized and approachable. You make it easy for me to find what I need, no matter how random my shopping list is. You are friendly and willing to help me if I need it.

You are affordable. You understand that I operate on a college-student budget, and you take the time to customize your coupons to my needs. Better yet, you are high-quality. I can buy everything that I need, often not spend over $50, and for that, my wallet and I love you.

You are ready to accommodate me. You appreciate and welcome my late-night visits. You pretend not to notice when I come in the morning and again that evening. You make me feel as though returning several times in one week is both normal and entirely acceptable.

You have a variety of services. Your minute-clinic is comforting and helpful, the ability to fill my prescriptions is convenient, and your Starbucks is all too tempting. The ability to buy a $1 hotdog and eat it while I shop is oddly tempting. I understand that you are ready to support me, no matter what I need.

Unfortunately, all of your good qualities have enabled my obsession. Your competitors are nothing compared to you. You have captured my heart, as well as the hearts of many others nationwide. We are lucky to have you. We may not thank you sufficiently, or remind you that we love you often enough, but rest assured, we do.

With affection and gratitude,

Everybody

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:

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.
