Oxford, Mississippi is arguably the best college town out there. From the old Southern charm of the square, to the blessings that is gas station barbecue, it is nearly perfect. I say nearly because Oxford, while being amazing place, is missing a few key things...
1.Target
Duh! This is a big one. Some people argue that Wal-Mart does the trick, but I heavily disagree. Target is the holy grail of all shopping... grocery, clothes, movies, it has it all. I miss being able to go into a target and find every single thing I could ever need, want, or desire under one roof. Not to mention that inside most Targets are a Pizza Hut and a Starbucks! I think all Oxford residents should petition to get a Target... even though my bank account disagrees.
2. Hobby Lobby or Michael's
With all the sorority girls in Oxford, how we don't have an art supply store is beyond me. Big-Little week would be so much easier if we didn't have to drive to a different state to get what we need in order to spoil our Littles. If that isn't enough of a reason the holidays definitely are. If you have walked in a Michael's or Hobby Lobby, you know Christmas is a year long event, and what could be better?
3.Chipotle
Ah, Chipoltle, how we all miss you when we come to Oxford. A Chipotle would be the perfect addition to Oxford's already great food selection. Think of how great it would be to hit up Chipotle on a Sunday afternoon! And yes, we know the guacamole is extra.
4. Sephora
This one is a necessity. While I love Wal-Mart's cosmetic selection and their prices, sometimes a girl just needs a little makeup retail therapy, and Sephora is the perfect place for that. Not only does Sephora have an amazing selection of makeup, skincare, and hair care, but they also have a makeup studio where Sephora professionals will do your makeup for you—perfect for formal!
5.Dave and Buster's
Come on... this one would be so fun. While everyone in Oxford loves a good weekend party, it would be awesome to be able to switch things up every once and a while, and Dave and Buster's would be the perfect place for that. Imagine having a swap at Dave and Buster's... Needless to say it would definitely be one for the books!
