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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
