6 Unexpected Things You'll Find In Europe And LOVE
Maddie Appleby

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

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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
