Ciao from Italia!

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!

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
