The Tragic Tale Of Target

RIP to my bank account.

The Tragic Tale Of Target
Minnesotaconnected

I try to avoid Target at all costs. Not because I hate it, it’s the exact opposite actually. I avoid it in order to save my closet space and my money. Target is like a bad blackout night of drinking. You don’t really know what happened, but you dread checking your bank account after.

This is the tragic tale of Target, a story we all know all too well.

Starbucks

At first, I might walk past it claiming I don’t need coffee, but that’s actually just me lying to myself. Target’s Starbucks always seems to rope me in eventually.

The $3 section

Whoever put that right next to the door is a genius and the devil all in one.

Make-Up

Even if I have the same three eye shadow palette or five shades of the same lipstick, Target always makes it seem even more appealing than the other ones you already have.


Home Decor

Target always brings out my inner interior designer. New lamp? New bedspread? New rug? New pillows? Why not just a whole new room??

The list could go on and on. There is no such thing as just going to Target real quick. It is like a black hole, it sucks you in. You’ll go in only needing a couple items and suddenly end up with a whole shopping cart. It’s insane how every item you pick up, you find some way to justify how you absolutely NEED it.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
