The 10 Stages of Going To Target

Exhilarating and exhausting, all at the same time.

The 10 Stages of Going To Target
Imgur

Ahh, Target. The place where you go in for tampons and peanut butter and come out with 17 dish towels, 38 things from the dollar section, and cake mix because it was on sale... and you obviously forgot the tampons and peanut butter.

1. The List



Trying to find a spot that doesn't have a cart in it or isn't handicap within 12 rows from the door is a nightmare.

2. Entering the store

You see the Starbucks and your only thought is, Wow I totally need a pumpkin spice latte right now even though I had Dunkin' literally two hours ago.


3. The Dollar Section

Oh, I totally need this little sign for my desk that says, "I'm glad I swiped right for you!" I'll put it right next to the picture of my boyfriend...


4. Clothes

Oh my god, look at the $ 10 sweaters.


5. The Dressing Room

When clothes actually fit right.

6. The Electronics Section


Playing with the new iPhones and iPads and fancy speaker systems in the electronic sections that you're too poor to every think about buying.

7. Movies


When you pick up three of the $5 movies that you've seen 100 times but obviously need to own on DVD even though they're all on Netflix.

8. The Seasonal Section


When you realize that either A.) the seasonal section is Christmas themed and Halloween was yesterday, B.) the seasonal section is school supplies and there are still like 12 hours of summer left so obviously you don't need to shop yet, or C). the seasonal section is Valentine's Day and you're going to die alone.

9. Waiting in Line


When the line is 800 years long because they have two registers open during peak hours.

10. Exiting

Checking out and realizing that you got nothing on your list and that you still somehow spent upwards of $75. At least you snagged that $3 mason jar, though!

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
