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

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!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
