My Name Is Emily And I'm A Target-A-Holic

It's my go-to.

Ever since I could drive, Target has been my go-to place for everything under the sun - makeup, shoes, a dress...you name it.

Now that I go to college in a small town, where all my shopping is limited to Walmart, the addiction has diminished. However, when I go home for the summer, my first stop is still always Target - here's why:

1. Their items are constantly changing.

While this is a good and bad thing, I love how I can walk into the store on any given day and find something new and exciting that catches my eye.

2. Their varieties of products.

It is pretty safe to say that everyone can find something that fits their taste within Target, which is super nice and convenient. You can also grab most everything on your list with one shop instead of having to go to multiple stores.

3. A clean environment.

Obviously, this can change based on your location, but in my experience, I simply find Target stores to be much cleaner than Walmart. Target employees are frequently seen straightening shelves and the floors are always clean and tidy.

4. Cartwheel.

I love how I can scan an item on my phone, and through the Cartwheel app, it will tell me if there are any coupons offered and related products that may be on sale. It makes it very easy to save a few bucks and is easy enough to navigate.

5. Accessories.

Hands down, Target has the best accessories. I mean their purses and wallets are beautiful and sturdy (and sometimes even resemble brands like Kate Spade or Marc Jacobs), they have a good selection of jewelry and sunglasses - again, everyone can find something that fits their style and preferences.


Overall, as I've grown into a young adult, Target has become a part of my everyday life. Whether I'm actively looking for something or just needing to walk around, it's my go-to.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
