Go in for two things, leave with a full cart

Reasons Why Target Is Simply The Best

If anyone ever tells you that they don't like Target, cut ties with them. Drop them like it's hot. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. So what if you blow half your paycheck on some pillows or blankets or Essie nail polish (soooooo worth it though)? Live your best life (at Target).

Whenever I go to Target, I can sense my wallet starting to cry.

But inner me is like

But as anyone who knows me knows, I go to Target like it's my job. I'm drawn to Target like a moth is drawn to a light; it's like I need it to survive. Happy? Sad? Angry? Doesn't matter what mood I'm in, Target is never a bad idea. But why is it so addicting? What makes this place such a magical wonderland?

1. The Dollar Section

Literally as soon as you walk in you're reeled in by the cheapest of the cheap. That section could convince me that I need a plastic mermaid pin that I would never ever find any use for and would lose (or break) in 3 minutes.

2. The Cartwheel App

The Cartwheel App is Target's app to let you see anything that is on sale and what deals the store has to offer. That app has me thinking I'm saving money buying things on sale, when in reality if I never looked at the app I wouldn't even be purchasing half the items and spending any money at all. Well played, Target.

3. Starbucks

There's normally a Starbucks somewhere in the Target store and man if that doesn't get me every time. What basic girl shopping at Target doesn't want a nice iced coffee to fuel her through the rest of the store so she spends 3x what she wanted to walking in here.

4. The Target Red Card

Because who doesn't want 5% back with each purchase? I know. But man this card really has me thinking that the very little money taken off my bill justifies spending all my money on a cart full of things that I came in not knowing about and not needing and leaving without the two items I intended to buy.

No matter how sarcastic this article was, I will always love and shop at Target. It is and will always be my second home.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
