The sound of bells ring. Lines wrap down the aisle. An employee with a Hawaiian shirt comes up to offer aid in a sea of frenzied shoppers. Yes, this is Trader Joe's, and it is not just a store, it's a lifestyle. With its reduced prices, optimistic slogans, and delicious products, it is not difficult to see why everyone loves it.

1. The funny product names.

From "This Blueberry walks into a bar" or "Trader Joe's Contemplates Inner Peas," TJ's knows how to win over shoppers.

2. The inexpensive prices.

Being able to buy ten items for $25 is perfect for a college student on a budget.

3. The free samples.

The unlimited free samples will have you munching throughout your visit.

4. The lack of intercom.

Instead of the loud buzzers that most supermarkets have, Trader Joe's has bells that cashiers can ring for assistance, giving it a "next door" feel.

5. The incredibly nice employees.

The employees are nice, not needy, which provide for a great food shopping experience.

6. The relatively small size.

Instead of being a huge supermarket with hundreds of products, Trader Joe's typically has so many items in only three or four aisles.

7. The convenience.

Since it appeals to many young adults, the store is located near many college campuses (!).

8. Cookie Butter.

Three words: Speculoos Cookie Butter. It's basically nectar and ambrosia, but in cookie form.

9. The sheer amount of snacks.

From wasabi peas to chocolate covered fruit, it's heaven for party (or whenever) foods.

10. The efficiency.

Even though lines might get insanely long, the cashiers work as hard and as quickly as they can to make sure the wait is not too much time.

11. The hidden toy.

You read that correctly. Trader Joe's has a toy hidden in every store across the country to provide some entertainment!

12. Everything is specialty.

Buying organic or gourmet food can be expensive, but TJ's makes sure it's available for everyone.


Going to this supermarket is necessary if you want other types of food, Trader Joe's has your back!

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
