Every college girl loves Target and everyone else just doesn't understand. It seems to be a common trend that every Target run for toothpaste turns into a full-on shopping spree. Why? Here, I compiled a ranked list explaining the mindset behind every college girl and her obsession with Target.
1. Dollar Aisle
Surprise, surprise? Not quite. For college girls, this is a no-brainer. This section is conveniently located right as we walk into the Target heaven. We understand that this aisle is full of things we don't need but really need. We quickly spend twenty dollars on twenty items and defeat the purpose of the cheap dollar section; but, we all agree that there's something special about this aisle because it just gets us every time.
2. Clothing Section
I love when someone asks me where I got my sweater and I simply reply "Target!". We've all asked and answered the question, and seem surprised when that's the person's reply. But, are we really? Target is a consistent go-to for sweaters, scarves, and comfy t-shirts.
3. Mug Aisle
Coffee cups, to-go mugs, cute sayings, everything cute galore! This aisle is ranked #3 on every girl's list because even if we don't buy an item, this aisle is still aesthetically pleasing. (Not to mention, this section is always holiday themed).
4. School Supply Aisle
School supplies are a must-have for all college students, but college girls see the value in Target school supplies. Not only is this aisle full of super cute necessities for every subject, but Target also participates in "buy one, give one" for certain spirals, pens, etc. If that's not a good enough reason, check out the color scheme.
5. Shoe Section
Converse, booties, flip flops and more! We never know what we will find in the shoe section, therefore we must walk through it every time we stop by. Some of us can even fit our feet into kid's sizes, so we can catch a bargain on that one!
6. Book Section
College girls get run down. With that being said, there's nothing better than making tea in our newest mug with an inspirational saying (bought at Target) and reading a good book. Target has a wide selection and it isn't uncommon to see a red and white 20% off sticker on books! Good work, Target, good work.
7. Candy Aisle
This aisle can quench all of our cravings- from chocolate to sweets! Honestly, this aisle isn't unlike every other candy aisle in grocery stores. . . but, it's Target, so it makes it better. Duh.
8. Cat Food Aisle
Last but not least, this aisle makes the list because we obviously have to feed our feline friends. . . but only after we spend a bunch of money on things we don't need.
