Things That Happen on Family Vacations
Jenna Tameling

We All Take Them, But Who Survives Them?


1. You invite literally EVERYONE but half leave two days into it.

Now I know that sometimes family can be a little overbearing at times, but suffering because of the heat can only lead to some dripping consequences.


2. When you have a valid drivers license, anything is possible.

Two Words: GOLF CART. Aka, taking nightly cruises with your dog and boyfriend around the community because you want to get away from your mother.



3. When you bring your boyfriend on your first family vacation together and you happen to share a room.

My parents gave us separate beds ya'll, but I think this happened to work out more in the dogs favor then ours.


4. When you bring the dogs on vacation and they take it over.

Now we have a great family over here, but I think the dogs run the show here wherever we bring them.



5. Driving Around the Island jamming to your favorite music


6. Exploring the world above

Cape Lookout was something else, but whether you are in the mountains or the beach, there is always something to appreciate.



7. When you are 20-years-old but are still at the kids table.

We try and be together but the "real" adults don't have any manners ;)


8. When the adults go to bed, we were already getting started.

We just wanted to play a nice game of Cards Against Humanity but I guess that sleeping all day and sitting outside for an hour really got to them.


9. Fun adventures with your significant other

We always have a lot of fun exploring new places, especially ones high up.


10. Creating memories with the people that mean the most to you.

Even though they can be annoying, sleepy, suffering, overheating and a bit crazy, they are still my family and these are the memories that you will want to remember.

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.
