Last week's releases this year's best

A brief welcomeRambling fool
Hello boys and girls! Welcome to the University of Maine! For those of you who are new here, let me be the first to tell you that you have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming year. UMaine is an excellent institution with plenty of things to do and see, and you will no doubt remember this year as one of the best of your life for a long time to come!
For the rest of you: prices went up for everything, we're down to two dining commons- don't bother eating lunch, you'll never get through the line-the trees on the mall are still there, and you still can't order a pizza from off campus with dining funds.…
