10 Foodie Finds From All Across Italy

Ciao from Italia!

118

The hardest list I have ever made. If you ever get to be a foodie in Italy, make sure you get at least one of each!

1. Tomatoes

Zoey Leonard

I have never been a huge fan of tomatoes, BUT ohhh my!!! These babies were delicious! Italians use them for everything! Here is my bruschetta from Sorrento!

2. Pizza

Zoey Leonard

This was the best Italian Margherita pizza that I had while I spent three weeks in Italy. It is from Sorrento

3. Lemons/limoncello

Zoey Leonard

This is a must try! Their lemons are twice the size and you can smell them from feet away! The limoncello is a very popular gift given from travels abroad! It is everywhere... sometimes you even get it for free with dinner!

4. Pasta

Zoey Leonard

This colorless, cheesy and creamy dish of glorious pasta was from a small little cafe that we stumbled upon in Florence after a long day! So glad I went there, if you could not tell by all the adjectives, I LOVED IT!

5. Fresh produce

Zoey Leonard

Everything is fresh here. I mean everything. No preservatives or anything. All organic. Which makes eating veggies that much better because they actually taste wonderful!

6. Cheesecake

Zoey Leonard

I found this beauty in Florence. Everyone raves about the gelato in Italy but try something different. Whatever you get won't disappoint you but don't be surprised if you order a "chocolate cake" and it actually just has chocolate icing...

7. Antipasto

Zoey Leonard

This huge plate comes before your meal. It is always a solid choice and is pretty close to our sandwich meats, but better.

8. Wine

Zoey Leonard

WINE. WINE. WINE. AND MORE WINE. They give it away and it is all so good! Drink up, you will have withdrawal when you get home!

9. Farinata

Zoey Leonard

This chickpea bread was served under a slice (most American) of pizza. I honestly could have just eaten multiple of these rather than the pizza! It was so good.

10. Tiramisu

Zoey Leonard

It comes in all shapes and sizes. With and without alcohol. It is ALWAYS good! I wish I could make it as well as the Italians do!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
