With the first batch of midterms and papers over, Pratistha and I headed over to the Buckland Hills Mall in Manchester for a bit of very-needed shopping. It’s been a while since both of us have visited this mall so we headed over to some of our favorite stores (H&M, Express, Forever 21, and the list goes on…) to reward ourselves a little. Also on our agenda was to find birthday presents for a couple of our friends who are turning 20 this month (A very happy birthday to Noelle and Radhika! =))
Manchester is only six exits away from UConn on I-84, which means about a 30-minute car ride. In a previous blog entry, I mentioned the East Brook shopping complex, which is great not only because it’s so close by, but also because it has great places to eat (Asian Bistro, anyone?) and a movie theater. But if you’re looking for a bit more variety, Buckland Hills is definitely where you get the real mall experience. Before I had a car on campus, I would always go on the UConn-sponsored bus trips there or hitch a ride with my upperclassmen friends.
