Freeport, Maine is highly underrated. Check out all of the best things to do there.

1. LL. Bean

A must stop. It pretty much makes up the whole town. Also don't forget to get in the fish tank bubble and take a picture with the bean boot.

2. Wicked Woolies’

Some say the blueberry pie is the Maine state desert but the new thing going around is the Woopie pie. No other place can make them as good they can.

3. Gritty McDuffs

A great local place to grab dinner with your family! The playground in the back is great for kids too!

4. Wolfe’s Neck State Park

A beautiful look out to the ocean and small islands.

5. Linda beans

Another great place to go to eat if you want some good Maine food! I hear Maine has some pretty good lobsters.

6. Classic Custard

A great place to get some custard! Ice cream, smoothies. And they have food there too! If you go on the right day they will have all the old cars being showed!

7. Seaspray Kayaking

The best kayak rentals around!

8. Winslow park

Great view of the ocean, place to hike, picnic or go camping too! Fun for the whole family.

9. The Freeport Emporium

A giant barn filled with all types of cool antiques. Right off of route one. You never know, you might find a hidden gem.

10. All the Outlet Stores

One of the things Freeport is best known for, all of the outlet stores down town.

11. McDonalds

There is only one reason I put this on the list. Every time I drive past it, I see families taking pictures of it. Its not your typical McDonalds, and you never know, it might end up being a great place for your Christmas card.

12. Nordica Theatre

A perfect place to go if it’s a rainy day. Who doesn’t love going to the movies?

13. The Harraseeket Inn

A cute hotel right at the end of Main Street. A great place to stay if you want to walk out your room and be in town.

14. Amtrak Station

The train! A great transportation service that can even take you to Boston for the day.

15. Bradbury Mountain

Or as some of us locals call it, “Bradbury Hill” A great place to go hiking with the whole family. Perfect for every age.

16. Acadia National Park

Ok, I know this isn’t in Freeport but its only 3 hours away and its my favorite place in the world, so I couldn’t leave it out.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
