Family Makes for the Best Travelers

Family Makes for the Best Travelers

No one wants to be the girl that says “I’m going on spring break with my family.” However, to me, this is the best statement to ever come out of my mouth. Spring break, or any vacation in general, is the best when with my family. Here are the best reasons that spring break with family is by far the best:


No Pressures. Your family already knows basically everything there is to know about you so there are no pressures about anything. Want to give your liver a little break? You don’t have to drink excessively and party all the time with them. Didn’t make it to the gym as much as you wanted? You don’t need to have that perfect bod to be around your family. They love you no matter what, right?

Paid For. Usually when vacationing with family, the poor college student doesn’t have to pay for any of it. When going with friends, the responsibly can fall on us to fund our way. This can mean less money for bars later on, which is definitely a bummer. Included in this category is also the hotel and food. If your parents are paying, they will usually pick a nice hotel to stay at and nice dining options.

Family Time. Yeah, people may think this isn’t a big deal and “lame." However, these are the times we must cherish with our family before we finish college and move away from home. We only get so many breaks from school to spend with our family, so we better take advantage of them. Plus, no one can make you laugh like your family does.


Yeah, that family vacation that you haven’t been looking forward to or think is lame may just be your best one yet if you give it a chance. Who doesn’t want to spend a week with the people who gave them everything?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
