1. Good wifi

I never imagined that Wifi would be something I missed. In the states, we are so used to everything loading instantly and having good service wherever we are. The Wifi here is very slow, especially when watching Netflix, so that took some time to get used to.

2. Chick-fil-A

3. Dryers

Not having a dryer in our apartment makes doing laundry a much longer process. It takes about two days for our clothes to fully dry on the racks and even still they are not as fresh looking as in the states.

4. Wawa

5. Starbucks

This past week I was able to get my Starbucks fix while traveling for spring break, but sadly it's not a thing in Florence. The menu here is also more limited, so definitely craving my Strawberry Acai Refresher at the moment.

6. My full closet

With it starting to get warmer in Florence, I need to go shopping soon because most of the clothing I packed was for the winter time. I miss having more options when I get dressed in the mornings.

7. Uber

It's so nice to be able to just press a button on your phone when you need a ride somewhere. Dealing with taxi services, especially when you have limited knowledge of the language, can be very annoying. Also, not being able to pay with your card adds to the struggle.

8. Penn State Creamery Lemonade

9. Proper grocery stores

Gone are the days when I could just take a quick car ride over to Wegmans and stock up on all my favorite food. Don't be surprised if they don't have the snacks you normally get or the brands you are used to. Conad does have Pringles though, so that's a plus.

10. Real bagels

When I saw that this American diner near me had bagels, I was so happy. A bagel in Florence though is basically a slice of bread with way too much cream cheese on it, so that was a disappointment.
