5 days PTO/sick…good or bad?

am i able to negotiate my PTO as an recent grad, entry level? my recent job offer gave 2 weeks paid vacation and 5 PTO/sick days, but I feel like 5 PTO days is too little considering I’d really have only 1-2 when considering my annual family trips (using paid holidays as well) which are extremely important to me. is 5 PTO/sick days too little? i was hoping to negotiate to 10 days, but is this still too little or too much? how/what’s the best way to negotiate this to ensure i get extra days? i’m new to this so i’m unsure. work/life balance is extremely important to me bc i’ve hurt myself overworking growing up and realize i work to live, not live to work. i appreciate all the help/advice to come, TIA. p.s. i live in america if it wasn’t obvious enough. :/
