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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
