13 Reasons Why You Have To Visit Ogunquit Maine This Summer

Jillian Caillouette

Ogunquit is located on the southern tip of Maine between York and Wells. It's gorgeous beaches, out of this world restaurants and peaceful atmosphere, make it a place you have to consider visiting at some point in time. My family and I visit Ogunquit every single year. I hope this article inspires you to do the same!

1. The Beach

The beach is magnificent, with smooth sand and gentle waves crashing along the shore. Spending your days at the beach is the best idea.

2. The Marginal Way

A mile-long strip of picturesque oceanfront property, lined with fragrant pink and white sea roses and hidden coves. Take a walk or run along the beautiful blue sea and explore.

3. The Ogunquit Playhouse

It is one of my biggest dreams to perform at this playhouse. I highly recommend planning to see a show while you're in Ogunquit. It's Broadway! This summer check out Million Dollar Quartet, Anything Goes, Priscilla Queen Of The Desert and a brand new musical The Hunchback Of Notre Dame!!!

4. Perkins Cove

This central spot in Ogunquit is filled with cute little boutiques, a pottery store and the famous restaurant Barnacle Billy's.

5. The Trollies

Dolly, Polly, Lolly, Molly, Wally, and Rolly cruise around town. Hopping onto one of these trollies is always a great time.

6. The Ogunquit Museum Of American Art

If you are an artist or simply a lover of art, this museum is a must see for you. It's right on the ocean!

7. The Resorts

There are many places to stay in Ogunquit. No matter where you stay you are only a walk away from the beach. My family loves The Sparhawk and The Anchorage.

8. The Shopping

Who does't love to shop? There are exquisite shops in the center of town, in Perkins Cove and all the way down to the beach. If you want something sweet while you're shopping, check out Harbor Candy Shop!

9. The Atmosphere

It's nice to get away for a while and reconnect to your most joyous and true self. Ogunquit has always been a place that brings me back to my roots.

10. The Food

Hold on! This needs to be broken down into separate sections.

11. Breakfast

I adore breakfast. There is something so special about the morning time. Check out these restaurants for the best breakfast in town!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"

This isn't just for the single Pringles out there either, folks

5. I will meet new people.
