2. Our campus is gorgeous in the fall

3. In the winter you can see everybody on campus wearing bean boots

4. The Hearty-Maine Hello

5. The amazing organizations on campus

6. The fact that Orono is such a college town

7. Let's be honest.... we know how to party!

8. The New Balance Recreation Center is one of the best in the country, receiving a silver certification in LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).

9. The University of Maine is recognized for it's commitment to sustainability

10. There's nobody in the world like a Main-ah!

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
