HEALTH BEAT: That miserable feeling of homesickness
It’s a universal condition. Psychologists call it “separation anxiety” and it’s easy to forget how overwhelming it can be. Some students get caught up in the excitement of new friends and activities and seem to forget their former lives. Others are excited in the beginning, only to realize a few weeks into the semester that they are starting to miss their familiar surroundings associated with friends and family.

A report of this week’s sports scores and upcoming schedule
From the sports desk…
I cannot believe that we have come to the final issue of the year. It seems like only yesterday that I walked into The Free Press office and began writing about USM sports.
There are many highlights that I will fondly look back on as I remember this past school year.
USM grad takes on the “old boys”
Being one of “Maine’s 10 Most Intriguing People” isn’t enough for USM graduate Shay Bellas. She is a loving wife, a caring mother, a strong advocate of women’s rights, staunch feminist, and, oh yes, the owner and general manager of a full-contact women’s football franchise.
Whitney runs with success
Senior Darryl Whitney of the men’s track and field team has had an extremely successful athletic and academic career at USM.

Teams come home from Florida strong
