Mall

[Editor's Note: found this cute post on a fashion forum]

"I went to college in NJ, and that's how i learned about "going to a mall." in NJ, a shopping mall is a big part of life for most of the people. hot day in the summer, people go to a mall. it's rainy outside, they go to a mall. it's holiday, they go to a mall. there are everything there. however, not everyone likes a mall. the biggest reason is because it's crowded. what's worse, you probably like only a couple of stores in an entire mall after spending a whole day. if you are there, you want to make sure you are not missing anything, then lose focus, cannot remember why you are there to begin with.. having said that, i still like to go to a mall once in a while, so i can check everything in one shot. fist off, when i shop, i know what i want. in another word, i dont go there just because i have time to kill.. i am always on a mission. Secondly, i prefer to shop alone. there are very few people i can shop with. they don't mind if we go to separate ways and meet up later. in this way, i don't have to waste my time on going into a store i'm not interested in. Thirdly, when i'm in a mall, i can check a kind of store i usually don't really care to go. for example, i like to walk into a teenage accessory store for cheap finds. Earrings you see on the right are from those cheap teen stores. they usually do 'buy one, get second half off' so i end up paying only a couple of bucks on each pair. Earrings are surprisingly cute too. i love to take advantage of this kind of stores for especially small accessories, so i won't feel sad in case i lose them."
