26 Things I Can't Wait To Do When I'm Back In Orono
umaine.edu

As fall semester at The University of Maine, Orono is approaching there are quite a few things I've been itchin' to do since I left in the Spring. While we are, unfortunately, located in the middle of nowhere in Maine; where most people wonder why the hell someone would send up North. There are many things that are close to my heart up there. Without further ado, here are 26 things I can't wait to do as soon as I get to school.

1. Move into my apartment.

2. Order OHOP.

3. Bang a right and pull a U-Turn in the apartment complex across campus when the left turning lane is backed up to Orono PD.

4. People watch in the mall.

5. Go to football games; that's what fall semester is all about.

6. Continue to call "The Reserve" The Grove.

7. Tip Whip because we all know it's better than Uber in Orono.

8. Pregame the pregame.

9. Tailgate.

10. Union food... Enough said.

11. Spend $10 on a sandwich at Harvest Moon every other freakin' day.

12. Become better at the "Mainah" accent.

13. Wait an hour for the hockey games.

14. Alway chant "F*ck UNH", even though we all know UNH does not chant "F*ck UMAINE"...

15. Sing along with the band songs at games.

16. Study in Fogler...

17. Go to awkward but poppin' house parties. "Hello, hi, I don't know you... But I'm here."

18. Definitely can't wait to make more than a few trips to The Bear Brew.

19. Spend too much time in Thriftway.

20. Let's not forget hanging with Bananas.

21. Darty.

22. Be back with the best friends that I've made.

23. Oh, I forgot to mention 2-for-1 OHOP, you better believe I do that often.

24. Get coffee and muffins from The Nest.

25. Head over to Bangor and people watch at Walmart.

26. Constantly giving myself reasons as to why The University of Maine has my heart.

I'm sure there are a hundred other things people can't wait to do, but these are my top. And if we're looking forward, I'm very excited for Maine Day. Who isn't?

Oh, but I'm not looking forward to parking.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
