13 Signs You're A Senior At The University Of Maine
UMAINE

The University of Maine, also known as UMaine and Maine, is a public research university located in Orono, Maine. If you're from the area, you probably know a lot about the institution. Even if you're not, you probably have heard of UMaine's hockey team, or simply know it's Maine's premier state university.

But no one knows UMaine like its student. And no students know the school better than seniors. After surviving four years in Orono, a special expertise comes with the territory.

These are 12 signs you're a UMaine senior:

1. You visit the Bear Brew at least once a week every Thursday, if not on Wednesdays too. The bouncers don't even check your ID anymore.

2. You got so excited when OHOP put in a bar.

3. You usually only party at the bars now, and rarely bother with frat and house parties.

4. Roost Rum Buckets for days.

5. It's about time Orono got a decent local coffee shop.

6. You're already looking forward to Maine Day, but then realize that means you're almost graduated.


7. You're mad that Orono just now got a trampoline park.

8. You can't believe that they changed the MaineCard design.

9. You love tailgating at football games, and finally being allowed to.


10. Freshmen will never know that the tiny parking lot next to Beta used to be Kappa Sig.

11. Freshmen will also never know that Pi Kappa Phi used to be PIKE.

12. You are sick of all the food options in town, but you still frequent them way too often anyway, like OHOP Mondays (and weekends) and Fam Dog brunch.

13. You know that this will be the college of our hearts always!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
