So, you've heard great things about Maine. Someone told you that the winters are great for skiing. And then they told you that the summers are the perfect time to get in touch with the outdoors-loving person inside of you? Did they mention the food? Unfortunately, they were wrong. The reality is that Maine is simply not the place for you. Here are just a few reasons not to move to Maine:

1. You're going to need to get used to wearing shorts in the winter.

When you're surrounded by so much cold, 45 degree days feel downright balmy. Little-by-little, winters will start to feel more bearable.

2. This is what your commute to work will look like in the spring.

Mud season is real. And it is hard. No doubt it's one of the worst things about living in Maine.

3. In Maine, there's only one sunset a night. It seems unfair, but that's just the way it is here.

If you were hoping to live somewhere with at least two sunsets every night, you better keep looking. The other bad thing about Maine? The sunsets in Maine are perfection so you'll never be able to appreciate one in another state ever again.

4. You're going to have to stomach eating the most perfect lobster roll you've ever had.

Readily available and fresh as can be, Maine lobster rolls are the best you can find. Ready to have access to these any time you want all summer long? Yeah, didn't think so. And if you've got a shellfish allergy, that's the main reason not to move to Maine.

5. You'll be forced to look at iconic views IN REAL LIFE.

That lighthouse from Forrest Gump? It's in Maine. In fact, every lighthouse you recognize in photos? Probably from Maine.

6. Beautiful sunsets over picturesque lighthouses? Sorry, that's what you get when you move to Maine.

They're awful. Looking out over majestic, iconic lighthouses while listening to the surf crash against the rocks is not for everyone and it's certainly not for you.

7. Good luck avoiding dessert.

Maine has both a state dessert AND a state treat, making dessert a necessity.

8. Other National Parks? They won't matter.

If you had any hopes of appreciating National Parks throughout the country, you'll be disappointed to learn that Acadia National Parkwill ruin you. Once you've seen it, the rest will pale in comparison. (Note: You should still try to see the others! The National Park System is a treasure!)

9. You'll never be able to avoid your neighbors.

In Maine, people will be nice to you. In fact, they'll help you out when you need it most. If you were hoping to avoid your neighbors forever, you'll want to find a new state. Mainers alone are easily one of the worst things about living in Maine.

10. Say goodbye to small, quiet dinners.

People in Maine are surrounded by friends and family. Doors are often unlocked and folks might drop by for dinner unannounced. If you're the type that likes to stick to a plan, you'll want to check out all those other states.

11. If you were hoping to grow up, leave home, and make all new friends think again.

Maine keeps you close. Your friends and your family draw you back and if you leave (and you might try) Maine will bring you right back home.
