i traveled to italy and it wasn't until i got here that i realized how little i knew about living in another country. my friends told me Rome was a pretty Americanized place and of course i was dumb and believed them. there are so many different things i miss from home and did not realize that they would be luxuries in this country. so i have made a list of the top ten things i should not have left home without
1. peanut butter ($6 here for the tiniest jar)
2. salad dressing (apparently oil and balsalmic are the only options around here, if you are even given any options in the first place)
3. television and texting ( i don't watch much at home, but not even having one here is killer)
4. cheeseburgers (the only way to get a cheap one here is the McDonalds YUCK!)
5. driving my Explorer ( that my little sister is probably destroying)
6. PHILLIES! (3 months into the season and i haven't been to one game)
7. American dollars (life with the Euro rapes my bank account)
8. Forever 21 <3 enough said 9. Chocolate chip cookies (the closest baked goods here taste like baked flour) 10. of course MY FRIENDS AND MY FAMILY.. life on my own is harder than i thought
AND... i bought the most fabulous hair clip today... pictures will be posted later!! i doubt they will do it justice though!!
