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?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
