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.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
