A Love Letter To Target

You never judge me for the choices I make in your store, Target.

A Love Letter To Target

My dearest Target,

What can I say other than that, well, I love you? When I moved to a new town where a Target was not easily in reach, my shopping trips have gone from an experience to a chore. Due to our long time relationship, I know driving the extra 30 minutes to you is well worth it — for my sanity, as I cannot possibly shop elsewhere.

You have been with me through all stages of my life. You have watched me grow from a small teeny-bopper shopping with my mom to an independent adult (who still shops at Target with her mom). From decorating my first college dorm room, to furnishing my first apartment, to creating the warmth of my first home, you were always there. Candles, pillows, blankets, bedding and lighting, you made my transition from childhood to adulthood easy and affordable. For that, I am forever grateful.

I am thankful each day for your clothing and accessories department, Target. Your fashion department has guided my style choices on more occasions than one. Tops, jeans, scarves, and dresses, you have something for every day at a price I can afford. Not only has my closet benefited, but also the closets of my closets friends and family, who have received endless gifts from your selection of clothing and bags, especially ugly Christmas sweaters with cats on them. My dad thanks you for that one.

You never judge me for the choices I make in your store, Target. From late night trips of frozen pizza and sweets to buying an odd assortment of items (duct tape, orange juice, glitter and a dog toy), you always checked me out with understanding and a smile. And let's not forget the importance of your other relationship, the only one I can possibly not get jealous of, Starbucks. Not only can I walk through each and every aisle with joy, I can even drink the happiness through my iced caramel macchiato.

Last but most certainly not least, your dollar or clearance section in the front of the store. The few rows of clearance items always bring me to a stop every time I walk in and something always leaves with me. You just always seem to know I need to add yet another cute stationery set to the thousands I already have or another perfect addition to my holiday décor.

From being able to pick up my prescriptions, getting all my grocery shopping completed, and buying that new welcome mat for my front door, you are the only one that makes this experience enjoyable. You may have competitors who have similar qualities to you, but nothing can beat the organization and cleanliness your store offers.

For you, Target, a letter of my love, affection and depleting bank account. I thank you.

Sincerely,

A forever Target shopper

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
