New England, a place full of coffee, snow, and horrible drivers, all of which I shockingly miss so much. You do not truly realize how unique our lifestyle is until it disappears for a few months. Here are a few things you might miss about New England if you are abroad.

1. Dunkin' Donuts

There is nothing I miss more than waking up, grabbing an iced caramel from Dunkin', and heading to class. Dunks is something that will become a lifeline throughout your college years in New England—abuse it to the fullest extent.

2. The Boston Red Sox

As the 2016 season begins, you cannot help but wonder what the Sox will do this year. With the legendary Big Papi Ortiz retiring this year, you would love to see a World Series Championship. The only issue about being abroad is you have to watch the Sox in the middle of the night due to the time difference.

3. Boston Accents

This might seem a bit strange, but you will miss not hearing a single "r" or the word "wicked" on a daily basis.

4. Tom Brady

The picture says it all. Yes, I know it is not even football season, but you will miss seeing the greatest quarterback of all time, or at least constantly talking about him.

5. Pizza

This one is more for my Connecticut folks. You will miss New Haven pizza such as Pepe's, but really pizza anywhere in Connecticut.

6. Winter (well, the beginning of it at least)

All right, you will not miss getting bombarded with feet of snow a couple of times, but you will miss some sense of winter. You will also miss the occasional snow day here and there because those are not existent in Europe.

7. The Cape

Personally one of my favorite places in the entire world. Cape Cod is truly a unique place that many New Englanders grow to love through countless vacations. Unless you are in Spain or somewhere tropical, good luck finding a beach in Europe.

8. Aggressive Driving

People in New England do not know how to be courteous drivers, and that does not matter what state you travel through. Over time you will find yourself becoming an aggressive driver. While you are abroad, you will just miss driving in general.

9. Not the Yankees

Go Sox, baby! Keep the faith, cowboy up, fear the beard, and all that good stuff.

10. The Weather

It changes every single day. It could be April and snowing or January and sunny. You really never know.

11. Just Being There

New England is a wicked awesome place to call home.
