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?
