The Good Life

Through UMaine Farmington, I spent a week before the semester started in Georgetown, ME with 11 other students. We were introduced to different ideas, themes, and readings about the good life. We also focused on the importance of connecting with nature, whether it be walking barefoot or kayaking. In a place as beautiful as Georgetown, it was easy to pause and reflect at any given moment or connect with the environment around us. Unlike other courses I've taken, this program has shown me the importance of an open mind, provided meaningful information, and has given me a new mindset on various aspects of my life. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to take this course, as it is clear it has proven to be life-changing.
