3.3, 2.7, 4.0? Your college GPA does not matter nearly as much as you think it does. As a college student, it can feel like our GPAs are directly related to our value and worth.

There are 5 Target stores with a Minneapolis address, each in different neighborhoods. I made up my grocery list of staple items in many white Americans.
