Things I will miss in Florence
Things I will miss in Florence:

Living and going to school next to Santa Croce where Michelangelo is buried
Being surrounded by Renaissance buildings
Living in the most important Renaissance city in the world
Walking by the breathtaking Duomo whenever I feel like it
Going to the Uffizi, Duomo, Pitti Palace or Accademia whenever I feel like it
The wine
Ghetto cell phones (circa 1980)
Italian Google
Traveling to a different country every weekend
Soup (dehydrated soup is really good)
Hot baguettes from Standa (grocery store)
European chocolate
Gelato (tiramisu is my favorite)
Listening to performers in Piazza Republica
Walking along the Arno and across the Ponte Vecchio at night (beautiful)
Zena, Ashley and McKenzie
Walking literally everywhere
**Eurail
Awkward hostel and train, umm, situations
Easier classes (they actually realize that you have a life)
Espresso shots
Feeling like you are 21 and an actual adult
Ciocolatte forte (practically melted chocolate)
Feeling tall
Being surrounded by churches (or at least beautiful Catholic ones)
Piazza Signoria where there are several statues
Being cut off from your life (it is a nice break)
My tiny, bare apartment
Classrooms with Renaissance frescoes and angel sculptures on the ceiling
Italian energy and zest between each other and towards life
Tabbachis
The Italian teacher jumping on the table while you sing along to some random old song
Free time
San Lorenzo Market
Balsamic vinegar on everything (literally)
Random sandwich and pizza places
Fresh produce
Our favorite window shop on Albizi
