O Canada

For winter break I am in Canada, probably my favorite place on earth. First week, I am in Lethbridge with my grandparents and cousins, second week I am in Calgary with my friends.
I am already really enjoying this winter break, one for probably a strange reason. My phone is off. For verizon charges roaming fees in Canada. Anyways, having my phone off takes away most of my worries of the drama in America, not having to worry about it. So I can focus my time with the family and friends I haven't seen in ages, contrary to focusing all my time to my phone who is connected to the friends I see everyday. Another reason i am really enjoying myself is my little cousins Sam and Lizzie. Sam is 7 and Lizzie is 9, they are the spunkiest kids I have ever met in my entire life, they make me laugh until I want to die it hurts so much. I love our random fist pump sessions I have with them, and how opinionated they are, and how they are so loud and silly, for a lack of a better word, it makes me really miss living 2 hours from them. Another thing I love about my cousins, all four of them, is how active they are. They are so scheduled and have all kinds of sports and hobbies they do everyday at the University, it truly cracks me up. I would hate to live with such a strict schedule though, it just makes me smile seeing how happy they are with it.
So quick little realization I got from Hailey Bradfords blog (http://haileybradford.blogspot.com/2010/12/dont-miss-this-or-it-or-me-for-that.html) one of the realizations she had was that she has her whole life to find someone. Okay so it got me thinking about high school, and the desperate people in it. A lot of people I know are so very desperate to have a boyfriend and/or girlfriend, they think if hey can't get one in high school they will be single for the rest of their lives. I thought that was pretty pathetic. High school is a mere four years of your life, in some aspects it does make or break your life, in this aspect it does not. You do not need a partner to be happy, and honestly if you are strong and single you will probably be more happy. Note: It is not wrong to have a boyfriend/girlfriend in high school, its being desperate to have one that is wrong to me at least. Anyways, I have never been the "girlfriend" type, more of the best friend. And I like it that way. I would much rather be the best friend to a whole bunch of different guys than be secluded to one person, excluding me from a whole bunch of other amazing guys. I am a much better best friend anyways, when it comes to being a girlfriend things just get awkward. HA. So yeah, this is not a jab at people who are currently in relationships, not at all, just a jab at the ones who waste all their time wanting to be in one and not caring about anything else in the world.
