The beautiful Emerald Isle is, without a doubt, one of the best (and most underrated) places to study abroad. Here are 21 signs that anyone who studied abroad in Dublin know to be true!

21. You're no longer surprised to learn that the Gaelic spellings of words are nothing like they are actually pronounced.

Aoibhe is Ava? Of course!

20. You know that you can get anything you could ever need (for hardly any money) at Penneys.

From shampoo to new shoes to luggage, Penneys has you covered.

19. You're used to passing a million cute pastry, donut, and coffee shops.

While Ireland isn't famous for its sweet treats or coffees, it totally should be. (Rolling Donut, anyone?)

18. Nothing fills you with more happiness than getting to your bus stop and seeing "Ann" for your route.

Because it means not having to wait in the more than likely rain.

17. That being said, you know that the buses take no prisoners.

Whether it's sprinting after a bus that's pulling away or trying to make it across the crosswalk in time, the buses are on a schedule and they don't care if it means running you over.

16. You've also fallen down the stairs of the bus more than once.

You always think that you're more prepared to walk down those steps than you really are.

15. The construction doesn't even faze you anymore.

Because it's constant.

14. You know that there are no worse places to walk than around Trinity College, up O'Connell Street, or on Grafton Street.

Tourists. Tourists everywhere.

13. Alcohol is a way of life.

It sneaks into everything from your coffee to your stew and is acceptable to drink at any time of the day.

12. The weather is unpredictable, but you've accepted it.

It can be hot and sunny and cold in rainy all within an hour, so you know to wear layers and carry a raincoat wherever you go.

11. You can take a day trip to almost anywhere.

Whether it's Belfast, Cork, or Galway, or even just a visit up the coast on the DART, nothing is too far for a day trip.

10. Bars and restaurants are just called pubs.

If it serves food and Guinness, you're there... and so are lots of other people, no matter the time or day.

9. You thank people by saying, "Cheers!"

Because it's so much happier than a simple "thank you."

8. You expect everyone to be as friendly as the Irish.

Ireland has a reputation for being one of the world's friendliest nations!

7. You miss using the Spire as a point of direction.

Nothing is more helpful in informing you where you are than a giant needle sticking into the sky.

6. In the summer, you're used to have super long days...

...where the sun doesn't set until 11PM and rises at 4AM.

5. Fiddles, flutes, and accordions make the best music.

And you always ask bands if they can play the song "Galway Girl."

4. From the views at the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge to the Cliffs of Moher to Howth, you have a newfound appreciation for cliffs.

They're everywhere and they're always stunning.

3. A Guinness cures everything.

And it's an acquired taste. Slainte!

2. Nobody has better spirit than the Irish.

Whether it's watching a sports match or just seeing all the Irish flags waving in the wind, there is no pride like Irish pride!

1. You'll always have a soft spot in your heart for the Emerald Isle.

And you know there's no better place to study abroad.
