4 Signs You're A Target Addict

It's possibly the most relatable issue in this century.

The love-hate relationship between a shopper and Target is one that can make or break your wallet, and if not watched carefully, can quickly get out of control. Here are some signs you might need to step on the breaks a bit.

1) If you go in to buy "one thing" and come out broke

Going in for one item and walking out with one full bag is alright. But if you head toward check out with a full cart and a not-nearly full enough wallet, it may be wise to take some time apart from your beloved Target. After all, you have to make sure the relationship is a healthy one!

2) If you convince yourself you need everything you're tossing into your cart as you shop

No, you don't need a new blender.

3) If literally everything you own is from Target

You're not a true Target addict until you look like a walking Target add, or walk into the store wearing the exact outfit displayed on the mannequin in front of you.

4) If you pronounce it "Tarjay"

Once you've reached this point, you really are a lost cause.

Don't beat yourself up too much

I, myself, am a Target addict. I mean, who doesn't love a store that sells things ranging from Apple products to produce? It may be the greatest retail store of our century. Just don't let it get too out of hand (I don't think they have rehab for these kinds of addictions.)

Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
