With traveling, it's sometimes hard to know where you want to go or who you want to visit. Even when you want to go out of the country you don't know where you want to go. If you have family, then it all pans out in the end, and here's why.

1. You have your own personal translator.

Since you won't know every word they're saying.

2. When they come to America, you hear such crazy stories and really see how different life is overseas.

3. You learn about different lifestyles.

If one lifestyle isn't enough or you ever wanted to learn about another, going to your relative's country will do the trick.

4. You automatically have somewhere to stay when you travel overseas.

What's better than that?

5.You’ll have people that understand you in another country.

Okay, maybe that's better than the previous reason...

6.You’ll always have a reason to travel out of the country.

Who doesn't love traveling, and family?

7. You have your own personal tour guide.

Since you obviously won't know where you're going.

8. They can recommend great places to eat and visit.

That's mostly when you've known your way around after awhile

9. No need to pay for a rental car, you’ve also got your personal driver.

And you even get a break from driving!

10. Your relatives introduce you to their friends and you become friends with them, which means more reasons to visit.

Whether you are distant cousins or blood related, the family is family and they know you and understand you better than anyone. Visiting family makes it even more exciting to go but even harder to leave. The memories you make will create amazing stories to tell your family, friends, kids and grandkids and maybe even great grand-kids! Their way of living, even their styles in clothing are so much different. All designer named brands since foreign countries be they all originate. Everyone is always so elegant and dressed up; especially in Europe. Always in such clean, neat and "fancy" as us Americans would consider it.

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?
