Target: The Definition of a Love/Hate Relationship

Target: The Definition of a Love/Hate Relationship

If you hear the word "shopping" and automatically think "Target" then this article most likely describes you and you should continue on this reading adventure. If "Target" does not come to mind, you, too, should continue to read and learn why you need to have an obsession with Target.

Going to Target is not only meant for your shopping needs, it is also meant as a leisure activity. Now, I'm sure the creator of Target was not aiming the store to be used as a hangout spot, but there's just something about the feel of Target that makes you want to be there for hours for absolutely no reason. It's not meant as a store you shop at when you absolutely need something. If I really needed something, I would go down the road to a local store. It's also meant for the person who has absolutely no reason to be inside Target, but have ultimately found themselves with a cart full of items that they really do not need, but want anyway.

And if you've found yourself at Target, you've also most likely found yourself carrying a Starbucks coffee and/or eating something from the Target food court. Now is the time to stop lying and accept the fact that you, and others, have made their way to the food court to get a slushy or soft pretzel. We've all done it, just embrace it.

Cut to the ahhh-mazing items Target sells. If you're a girl and have never bought a bathing suit top and/or bottom from Target, you should probably reevaluate your life. Also, Target is your one-stop shop to everything Taylor Swift when she releases a new album (the deluxe version that is). It's also the perfect place for dorm/house shopping, and if you've planned out your future house decor while in their store, you're a true fan and avid shopper.

Although all of these perfect qualities have some downsides (like the decline of my bank account), Target will forever be #1 in my heart and #1 in my checking account.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
