1. It’s an excuse to eat and drink everything in sight.
Calories like, basically don’t count during homecoming.
2. Alumni come back to visit.
What’s better than seeing old friends again?! Oh right, tailgating with all of your old friends.
3. Sweatshirts and baseball caps are acceptable.
An event where a cute outfit consists of a hoodie? We’re so down.
4. Getting to use the excuse “but…it’s homecoming” for literally everything.
Didn’t do your homework? Lost your room key? Cracked your iPhone screen? Eh, it’s homecoming! Who cares!
5. Endless school spirit-y Instagram opportunities.
Will you pose with Bananas? Or perhaps opt for a group shot of matching UMaine hoodies. The choice is yours!
