11 Places You Must Visit In The State Of Maine
Sunrise Guide

Maine: The Way Life Should Be. Why exactly is that their motto? Honestly, because it is 100% true. The state of Maine is filled with natural beauty, fun adventures and amazing wildlife. I have been coming to Maine ever since I was a little toddler, and I still have not seen a lot of it. There are so many places I want to visit. Are you traveling to Maine anytime soon, but not really sure what to go to and see? I'll help you out.

Here are 11 must see places when you find yourself traveling in Maine!

1. Arcadia National Park

Filled with wildlife such as moose and bear, and beautiful landscape. It is 47,000 acres of mountains, lakes, and beaches that will leave you speechless.

2. Bar Harbor, Maine

After you visit Arcadia National Park, go over to Bar Harbor and visit the restaurants, shops, and stay overnight for a few days and enjoy a few days of relaxation. My parents went here and did not take me...still bitter.

3. Lake Sebago

Lake Sebago is honestly an ocean. Being 316 feet deep and covering about 45 square miles in surface area, this lake comes in as the second biggest lake in Maine. Stay at Point Sebago Resort or take a trip over to Frye Island. Visit the beautiful "Eagle Island" where there are a family of Bald Eagles that nest every year.

4. Rick's Cafe: Naples, Maine

Ever find yourself driving through Naples, Maine? Stop by Rick's Cafe and order some awesome food. If you order from the kids menu, your dinner gets served on a frisbee.

5. Maine Wildlife Park

The Maine Wildlife Park located in Gray, Maine is a MUST GO to location. I go there at least once a year (maybe even twice if my mom is being nice). It has so many different species to walk around and see such as Bald Eagles, Moose, Brown Bears, Mountain Lions, and so many others. It is different from your normal zoo because it does not have the typical animals you would see there so it is definitely an amazing place to visit.

6. Shawnee Peak Ski Area

Visiting during the Winter, you definitely have to visit Shawnee Peak and go snow skiing or snowboarding. It is about 45 minutes from my house so my family and I always stop there.

7. Screw Auger Falls

This 23 foot waterfall is discovered by taking a walking path located in Grafton Notch State Park. It is apart of the Bear River and has many different areas to take in Maine's natural beauty.

8. Pemaquid Point Light

This is one of the most photographed places on the Maine coast and I can sure see why.

9. Old Orchard Beach

If you love Maine, but you are more of a beach person rather than a lake person, than Old Orchard Beach is perfect for you. I know so many people that travel here, and even own homes near here making it a perfect destination spot in Maine.

10. Ogunquit, Maine

Located in York, Maine and known as a "Beautiful Place by the Sea", Oqunquit is a prime place to visit. Filled with cultural experiences, shopping, lodging and and excellent food, I definitely will be staying here sometime in my lifetime.

11. Kennebunkport, Maine

Known as "the place to be all year", Kennebunkport is the place to be. With festivals, outstanding food, and beautiful scenery, I want to visit Kennebunkport A.S.A.P.

These 11 places are only SOME of the places to visit in Maine. So after you visit these places I showed above, take some time and adventure off into the state of Maine and be amazed by all of natural beauty.

So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
