Just in case you still don’t know what you’re doing for the summer!
1) It’s quiet
As fun as it is to have all of your friends so close to you, it’s also so refreshing to have no one around. There is no wait at the Aroma Joe’s drive-through, no near death experiences turning off campus, and no lines at the bars.
2.) You are already paying a lease
Odds are that you have a yearlong lease, so instead of stressing about paying double rent or finding a sublease just stay in your apartment!
3.) You can live your way
While its always great to go home and see your family, it’s always weird because you are now caught in that award middle ground of being an adult but still being in your parents house. If you stay in your apartment, no one is going to judge you for coming home drunk out of your mind at 2am.
4.) It’s beautiful
Everyone knows that Maine is gorgeous in the summer but Orono has something special about it (maybe because everyone leaves it for the summer and never gets to see it). But floating down the Stillwater in the middle of July has some pretty sights and is more than relaxing.
