6 Unexpected Things You'll Find In Europe And LOVE

In This Article:

When I went on a school trip to southern Europe I found a lot of things really interesting that I didn't expect! These things made my experience in Europe so much more fun and new! These things made up a lot of the good memories I have with my friends in Italy, Switzerland, and Nice, France. This adventure was one of the favorites I've ever had and the memories will last a lifetime.

1. You can get good pizza literally everywhere

I went to a bar to go to the bathroom and came out with a second dinner, oops.

2. The vendors in Pisa have the FUNNIEST marketing strategy

Giphy

When you walk through the slew of vendors in Pisa they will yell random American pop culture things. One guy yelled "shock-a-lock-a boom boom... LADY GAGA... BEYONCE". That'll get your attention.

3. The people in Florence don't want you to speak Italian

Giphy

Shockingly enough if you speak Italian in Florence with the slightest American accent they'll answer you in english.

4. The waiters really care about how you like your food

once, I went to a cafe in Florence and I didn't care for the sandwich I ordered and when he came back he continuously asked if he could get me something else. This was something that really did shock me.

5. Brie is actually really good on a burger

When I saw the cheese I was taken aback, but the cheeses which includes brie actually tasted amazing!

6. Gelato is STUPID cheap

If you love ice cream you'll feel for this, I had so much gelato because it was only 2 euros for a big portion!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
