The 5 Definitive Stages Of Shopping At Target

Let's be honest: Target is both a blessing and a curse.

The 5 Definitive Stages Of Shopping At Target
USA Today

Target is a place you go to when nothing (or everything) is going right. From comfort foods to cute clothes and decorations, Target is the homestead of everything you need at a next to affordable price. The problem is once you get there, there's no telling what could happen!

1. "I'm only going there for milk."

Two hours later, you're leaving with a new wardrobe, new makeup, some candles and cat food (do you even have a cat? Who knows, but it was on sale), and you'll be back tomorrow because of course you forgot to grab milk.

2. Raiding the clearance bins.

99% of my Target trips are spent right inside the doors looking through the cheap bins. Coloring books, candles and pot holders, toys, you name it- they are conveniently located two steps away from the entrance. Soon your shopping basket turns into a cart and your list floated right out of the doors with your self control.

3. Excitement.

Yoga pants are 20% off? Clearance sales on NYX and E.L.F? Sign me right up!

4. Denial.

You did need that $25 shirt that had the Mean Girls quote on it, and 14 new soy candles that all smell like fall. You need them.

5. Guilt.

Even though you don't have enough money for gas this week, your new liner is on point, along with that new outfit and your whole house now looks (and smells!) like it just came right off of HGTV. Thanks Target!

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

Coming from someone majoring in business at a school that thrives off of business majors, I know how rough it can be sometimes. Being a business major can be awesome, and awful, simultaneously. We work our tails off to be the best, but sometimes the stress can just tear you apart. Here are some struggles faced by business majors that will sound all too familiar.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
