Why Family Vacations Are The Best Vacations
Maddie Gibson

Vacations are amazing all on their own. However, if you have a family that is anything like mine, vacations are so much more enjoyable when you’re with them. Many families live apart in different cities, even different states sometimes, due to jobs and having a life on their own. So, when winter break or summer comes around, taking a family vacation is a great way to catch up and spend time with each other.

Quality time is important to a lot of families, and taking a vacation with your family allows for quality time to be spent. What better way to catch up and spend time with your family than being on the beach or wherever your family’s go-to is? Families are hardly ever all in one place or not on the go. Vacation allows for everyone to be in one place and all together enjoying each other’s company.

Every day life usually consists of being busy and not having much time to relax. Vacation with your family is the perfect time to sit back and really slow down and enjoy time with one another. It’s the perfect time to put work, school, and worries aside and just enjoy a nice break. Time flies by so quickly, it is important to slow down and enjoy life with your family every once in awhile.

One of the best things about vacations are the memories. Since vacation means having fun, memories and laughs are bound to be created and shared. Everyone’s happy because they’re in a happy place with their family. My family always comes back from vacation with a story to retell forever.

Whether your idea of a family vacation means staying in a resort, camping, going skiing, or just hanging out at home, spending time with your family is something you’ll value one day when it becomes harder to do so. Family vacations are the best because you get to spend more time with your family than usual, have time to relax and take a breath, and make memories while doing so.

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.
