Being a Junior in high school is both a blessing and a curse. I have a heavy course load, but I also did not have to take ANY EOCs this year. With the Solar eclipse, Eid al-Fitr, 4 late start days, and a quick road trip to Washington D.C., I have missed an extraordinary amount of school in the last three weeks. Did I use my gifted free time to catch up on late Work and study for my AP Tests? Did I clean my atomic bob of a room? No, I did what any smart person would do, I went to Target.
My best friend, Emily, and I have a big problem. We are absolutely obsessed with Target. Arriving at 7, we came in determined to remain focused and find everything on our small shopping list. But I knew that wouldn’t be the case when we pulled into the rooftop parking, and the sunset over target like an ethereal message.”This is a magical place”, the un seemed to say. Entering Target on the 2nd floor, we are immediately at the discount sale rack. There are tons of random junk you don’t need but are funny to look at. On my most recent trip, I bought a G.O.A.T. award.
After the sales rack, the next on the tour was the Children’s Toy Section. This is my favorite part. There are always fun things to look at here. With the right Target Buddy, you’ll find yourself in this section for hours. Once we made it through, we went to the right to Electronics. there we hosted a miniature book club, perused records that are too expensive, and played a demo game of MarioKart. I lost.
After that, we went to Target Home Decorating aisle and designed our future apartment. I wanted the soft blue mini-fridge, and she wanted green. We decidedly picked the green, but the fridge was empty, so that took us to our last stop, Food. Every time Emily and I go to Target, we pick out a new treat to try. This time we chose Tru-Fru. OH MY GOODNESS! SO DELICIOUS!
It was the perfect end to a perfect adventure trip. Target is a time loop, and I love it with my full heart. There is no better way to spend your free time than exploring and pursuing the aisles of your local Target.
