The one thing I will never regret doing is studying abroad. It will change your life. The excitement of living in another country, eating good food, and being able to legally drink all has its perks. Regardless of where you went, you probably had an incredible experience and you probably want to be there right now instead of wherever you are. For me, it has been a year since I studied abroad in Florence, Italy and to say "I miss it" is an understatement.
A year ago, I was gallivanting around a foreign country, having an amazing time. I see the photos that pop up on Facebook reminding me of what I was doing a year ago, and they make me a little sad. So, for anyone who studied abroad in Florence, Italy these pictures might break your heart. But they will remind you of the amazing time you had and abroad and that it is the most beautiful place on Earth.
