7 Thoughts You Have When Going To Walmart

They usually aren't positive.

7 Thoughts You Have When Going To Walmart
Institute For Policy Studies

Walmart is a polarizing store. Its many aspects make it the brunt of jokes and its shoppers themselves are a thing of internet discussion. While some love Walmart and some hate it, everyone who has ever been there experiences a few memorable things upon entering the store. You can't say these things out loud because social convention prevents you from doing so, therefore, all you have while at Walmart are these mildly distressing thoughts.

1. What is that smell?

When you walk in, it hits you. The Walmart smell. You never really can put your finger on what it exactly is but it's there and it's all encompassing. Just hope it doesn't stick to your clothes (it does however stick to most purchases).

2. Why is everything in bins?

$5 movie bin, $5 CD bin, $.88 candy bin, and the most confusing $3.74 movie bin. They love their bins at Walmart. What's more fun than sifting through a vortex of B movies and bad country albums? Wondering how your life led to this moment is.

3. I want this but it's sticky.

You really want the last copy of the new season of "Gotham." You pick it up and realize it's sticky. To your horror, you realize this isn't the only item. Many items are sticky. How did they get this way? Why is the floor sticky? Could it be that I'm in a sticky situation? At this point you begin to cry as you have stooped to puns to get through your Walmart trip.

4. I genuinely did not know these people existed.

You look around. Who are these people? I didn't know they lived in my town, let alone, well anywhere. It's like people emerge from the depths of the unknown to not only shop at Walmart, but buy the strangest things. Like, who needs an entire cart composed of frozen pizza and gallons of milk? Who wears see through camis in the winter? The people of Walmart do.

5. *sarcastically* Oh good, a crowd.

You actually can't have any space to just be the sole person in an aisle. You are joined by two families, a single old man and a teen couple. Everything is loud yet no one seems to be talking. This is terrible. There cannot be enough air for everyone in here. I am going to die. I am going to die in Walmart.

6. Why is there a bike in the frozen food section?

Who knows where it even is supposed to go. There were already four phone chargers with the dish soap and a pack of playing cards with makeup. At this point, why am I even bothered. It's anarchy.

7. I wish it was acceptable for me to scream like that kid.

Mmm good, screaming children. I'd be annoyed if I wasn't internally screaming as well. I wish I could free my screams like that child. Don't shush him, no, let him emote himself. Let him scream, and let Walmart know.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
