An Ode To Target

Where a full cart is a happy heart.

Target, my dear sweet friend,

We have been through so much: sales, returns, and those pain-staking decisions where I always cave in to pay full price. And yet you always come through.

Clothes, shoes, home goods, furniture, and food...you really do have it all.

You never fail me. That beautiful shirt I saw two weeks ago, you marked down today. Your clothes sale rack could build me an entirely new wardrobe.

Your shoes- so affordable and so stylish- are every girl's dream. I can never leave without a pair. You anticipate the trends of the upcoming style season flawlessly.

Your home section brings out the inner interior designer I never knew I had inside myself. My heart longs for a never ending list of throw pillows. Somehow you manage to have one in every color and size I could imagine. I make plans for the house I don't even have and I fall for a new bed spread every time I walk down the aisle.

A furniture section to add to my future home fantasies. I always seem to find an adorable patterned chair and convince myself that I have the perfect place for it at home.

I can always count on you to Your clearance end caps make me smile. I always manage to talk myself into a candle or picture frame...I mean, it's a good deal, right?

You inspire me to organize everything and make me realize that there is truly no end to organization. Not only do you help me to become more organized, but I am organizing in style. Who knew a storage tote could be so cute?

You have been with me throughout my college experience. You help me to support my academic life with chic stationary and stylish writing utensils. Everything I have ever needed for my dorm rooms throughout the years, you have supplied.

My shopping sprees are fueled by an energizing iced coffee from the Starbucks that you conveniently placed in the store. When I'm hungry for a soft pretzel, buttery popcorn, or a classic coke slushie, you are there for me.

Your five percent REDcard discount makes my heart skip a beat. Your sales make it feel like Christmas.

But Target, you make Christmas everyday. I could not "Expect More" even if I tried and "Pay Less?" Well I don't mind if I do.

We have such a bright future together. I know you will be there for me to supply all the party favors, decorations, birthday cards, cleaning supplies, Halloween candy, gift cards, tech accessories, and pillows I will ever need. You will help me through the all the planning for future wedding showers, baby showers, new homes, and holidays that are to come.

Target, I will never get over you.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
