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.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
