In 140 characters or less, tweet about the following topics:

1. Maine Day

I’m excited to spend the day volunteering and cleaning up the streets of Orono!

2. The Grove changing its name to The Reserve

That’s like me naming my son Trash and changing it to James on his 18th birthday to sound better, yet deep down he’s still that some ol Trash

3. The Bear Brew

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in college it’s don’t be that guy that still insists on getting a beer at Dollar Wells

4. Tinder

Fav Tinder pickup line: “Hey I see your bio says you like Kygo! ‘Kygo’ to your house and eat all your Cinnamon Toast Crunch?” Still no response

5. Future (either your own or the rapper)

I feel like every third Future song he just yells “hubbada hubbada hubbada” and somehow no one’s noticed yet

The Nitty Gritty

Craziest place you’ve ever had sex: That’s between me and my diary
