In every intern’s life, there comes an important time. I will call it, informally, “interview-palooza.”
My time has arrived.
And any good intern knows in order to be prepared for interview-palooza they need, among other trivial things such as a solid resume, strong work ethic, and superior business skills…a good suit to wear to the main event.
And so my long and agonizing journey for “the perfect suit” began.
Lucky for me, I stumbled upon the sleeping giant of my shopping world, one long forgotten in my years away in shopping-deprived Gainesville…Sawgrass Mills Mall! But of course! The answer to my prayers!
And yet again, my long (but this time not as agonizing) journey began.
For those who haven’t been, let me just warn you: put your running shoes on, people. Not that you’re actually going to be running, (that might look a little weird), but it’s still quite the marathon…the good kind…a shopping marathon!
There are over 350 stores guaranteed to offer virtually anything you need. This place is pretty much a one-stop shop and is so diverse that almost any taste can be satisfied.
Take shoes for example. I’m a big shoe fan, and whaddya know, I needed a new pair to go with my new suit. I must say that Sawgrass is a shoe-fanatic’s heaven, whether it’s Rack Room Shoes, Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse (which I love), or World of Shoes…just to name a few.
As for the suit, I had luck at the department store outlets, such as Last Call Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom Rack, Off 5th Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet, and the list goes on…All chock-full of suits just waiting for me to take them home.
Of course, one gets hungry when they’re walking miles of mall, and there’s a plethora of places to eat as well. The Food Courts have variations of the typical food court stuff for the quick bite, but if you’re really making a day of it (as I did), why not take a breather and sit down to a nice meal at, oh, say, the Grand Lux Café. Or maybe the Rainforest Café, where the sounds of tropical animals beckon you in (always an interesting experience.)
And might I add, while a bit off subject, Sawgrass has stores such as a SuperTarget, Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and Marshalls. In the mall you say? No!
Oh yes. In the mall. It’s wonderful. I wasn’t kidding when I said one-stop shop.
So what may have taken me days and days of repetitive shopping and disappointment at other malls took me only one successful day at Sawgrass Mills. It’s really more like an adventure, or even an event. Leading up to the main event.
Which is where I’m headed, suit pressed and shoes on. Interview-palooza, here I come. Wish me luck!
