I think we can all relate and say how much we love to call Maine our home. This, for myself, is the only place I’ve ever been able to call home and I know many of the natives can say the same. But, Maine wouldn’t be the same if we didn’t have any of these 5 wonderful things.

1. Four wonderful seasons

Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn are not only amazing in Maine, but they make it worth living here. We can all say that we’ve had a brutal winter living here or an insanely hot summer, we wouldn't change it for the world. Autumn has to be my favorite, and no it’s not because pumpkin everything, it’s the feel it brings in the air. Oh, and don’t let me forget the beautiful scenic photographs you get here!


2. Whoopie Pie Galore

Pumpkin, Maple, Chocolate chip, or original flavors - doesn’t matter to us, we will eat them all. Maine is not just known for having the best fresh lobstern but for having amazing whoopie pies. My personal favorite is the Pumpkin. Not special bakery either. But if you’re looking to a whooping amount of fun, we’re even cool enough to have a whoopie pie festival!


3. You Can Swim Everywhere

With having a little over 32,000 miles of rivers and streams, 6,000 lakes and ponds and the ocean, you can’t go wrong with finding somewhere to swim. We have a spot for you. Luckily we won’t have alligators coming at you. Just Wessie (the neighborhood snake) if you’re in the Westbook river. Personal favorites are definitely Sebago Lake and Willard Beach - I’ve been swimming in those lakes and beaches for my entire life! Beats swimming in a pool any day.


4. Sunsets/ Sunrises

I’ve never seen anything more beautiful than the sunsets and sun rises that come here in the morning. Many are so breathtaking that you can’t even capture a picture of because it it’s so beautiful. From the reds, blues, and pinks everyone should be waking up at the crack of dawn to see these amazing sights.


5. City lights or Mountain Tops

One of my absolute favorite things about living in Maine is that you get the best of both worlds. Whether it is sitting on the top of Bradbury Mountain or looking at the city skyline from Dimillo’s, we have a little something for everyone. That’s what I love the most. We are not just city lights, but we have a countryside as well. Gives it a real home feeling.


There are so many other reasons why I love to call Maine my home, I could go on for hours. We all have a place to call home. I’m forever grateful for my lakes, mountains and whoopie pies that make me feel sane. There is a reason our license plates have the phrase “Vacation Land” on them. If you’re not from here, I hope that these five little sneak peeks of what this amazing state has to offer makes you come visit us soon.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
