I've heard of all the fuss Christmas makes in Northern Europe. i.e. Germany, London, Paris, yadayada I get it. But the thing Florence has going for it is its underrated-ness. A couple weeks ago the streets of Florence began to light up... a tree was put in the Duomo Piazza and the Christmas market of Sante Croce came to life. I was half disappointed that I would be missing Christmas in New York City this year, but I take it all back. Florence at Christmas time is nothing short than magical, and it's the perfect send off for me to return home tomorrow.

It's been fun kids, to say the least. I can't believe the semester is over, it literally seems like yesterday that I touched down in Florence for the first time. It's easily been the
best time of my life. And so, if you're a student, take my advice: if you have the opportunity, GO ABROAD. Soak it all up, meet new people, try new things, go everywhere you can. As terrified as I am to end this break from real life, I'm ready for it. So thanks Florence, from the bottom of my heart, it's been swell. Mark my words, I'll be back.
