As midterms take place this week, I thought it'd be a good time to look back at the past month and a half. While this has been an amazing opportunity, and I'm grateful for it, I find myself missing home a lot. There are many reasons for why I'm not enjoying myself, many of which are specific to me, so it won't be a worry for most people studying abroad. While these complaints may seem minimal and unimportant to any readers, it's a big deal to me because my friends are a huge part of my life back home, and negatives get magnified when you miss friends and family.
This is not to say I haven't enjoyed any part of being here. Boiled down, Italy has many similarities to Hawaii. The culture is family-oriented, it's mostly run by small businesses, the locals are very nice and the food is great. Aside from friends and family, food is the biggest thing I miss back home.
