Ahh, Maine. No, we're not part of Canada, as so many people think. We're that northern state that no one ever thinks about; the one with all the beaches, beautiful coastline, and of course, lobsters. Lots of lobsters. Mainers are a special sort of people, fiercely independent and given to their ways. But sometimes, there's a few things they could stand to change. In this article, I will review the Top 10 New Year's Resolutions for Mainers!

1. Learn to Speak French

It's summertime, and you're hanging out at Old Orchard Beach, taking in the amusements, riding the rollercoaster, playing on the beach.

Yes, our neighbors from the north regularly come and take over our little slice of heaven, and it's just impossible to figure out what they're saying. So the first goal of the new year for a Mainer is to prepare for the summer and learn to speak French. Then you'll be striking up friendships with your new Quebecois friends right and left!
