A typical college student cannot end the week without at least one trip to Target. The process of going to Target is a whole other ball game. You enter with a plan and leave with less money in your wallet, a random coffee mug and five pairs of llama socks. A true Target fanatic does not learn from their mistakes, and the endless shopping cycle continues next week.

1. Close the laptop.

Netflix can wait. You are out of food, pencils and shampoo. It is time to go to Target.

2. Prepare the list.

Maybe if I make a list ahead of time, I won't buy things I don't need. You write down your essentials on cute stationery from, of course, Target.

3. Contemplate the list.

Do I really need five bottles of hairspray? You think on your list for at least 10 minutes before putting down your pencil.

4. Reason with yourself.

I don't know what to do anymore!You start to feel guilty for making the list in the first place.

5. Search for money.

I have two dollars. You decide to charge it to the credit card and not tell Dad.

6. Put on your shopping outfit.


I must look absolutely fabulous, but not too fabulous. You put on your favorite shopping outfit that is trendy, but not too trendy, so you look effortlessly chic.

7. Grab a friend.

My friend is as obsessed with Target as I am. Friends are there for you, especially when shopping is involved.

8. Play bumpin' tunes in the car.

It's a mini dance party in my car! You and your friend listen to the latest hit singles and jams. People stare at you while driving by, but you don't care.

9. Arrive at Target.

I am SO excited I might pee. You pull up to Target and scream a little in total excitement.

10. Walk through the doors.


I practically live here. The doors open for you. A+ service.

11. Grab a cart.

So many cart options to choose from all in my favorite color -- Target red! A little basket won't help you on this shopping trip.

12. Go to the dollar section.

Destination one: dollar section. What more do you need than cute, little 1-5 dollar items?

13. Walk through every aisle.

I can't wimp out now. You came here for a reason but forget the list. It's time to go through every aisle and grab everything

14. Wait in line.

Why does she have 20 coupons?! You wait for everyone else to go through the check out line.

15. Hand over the money.


Take everything I have! I want my cute pencil erasers. You practically beg the Target employee to take your money.

16. Leave the store super happy.

I have everything I could possibly need in this world! You leave the store satisfied with your purchases.

17. Have instant regret.

What have I done? Oh, man. You have made many mistakes and left without anything on your list.

18. ...but you love Target anyway.

It's all worth it in the end. Even though you spend most of your money and time at Target, you still love it just as much.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
