5 Reasons Our Family Vacation Home In Maine Will Be One Of My Favorite Places In The World
Dylan Couch

For as long as I can remember, my family and I have been going away to Maine to visit our vacation home and it never gets old! I look at Maine as my second home and I really want to share five reasons why Maine is my home away from home.

1. The memories

I can't remember a time in my life where my family wasn't going to Maine. We've made so many memories with our neighbors and with each other. One of my favorite memories is going on a walk with our neighbors to the Wetlands.

2. Fishing

While spending so much time in Maine, I was able to pick up a new hobby. Fishing has become one of my favorite hobbies especially up in Maine! I was able to go fishing with one of our neighbors and we became fishing buddies. He was such a great fisher and I learned so many great fishing tips from him!

3. Visiting the lakes

Being able to visit all the lakes of Maine is always a fun time and I always enjoy doing it every time we swing by them!

4. The beaches

Maine has so many nice beaches and It's always one of my favorite things to do when we visit. I think anyone from Maine can agree with me that Maine beaches are the best!

5. The small-town feel

I've always enjoyed the atmosphere of Maine, especially for its small-town feel. Very quiet and relaxing... The best place to visit when wanting to have a relaxing vacation.

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.
