Finding Happiness: By Natasha

As an English teacher I get a lot of questions in the hallways between class periods. “Can you recommend a movie for me to watch?” “Where is the best Pizza place in Vancouver?” However the most common question I get is, “How can I find boy/girlfriend in Vancouver?” Because of the high frequency of this question I have developed and answer that is not easy to swallow but I believe in nonetheless.

Do what you love. If you love snowboarding then do it. If you love hiking join a hiking club. If you love drinking join a beer tasting group. Don’t just do one thing do lots of things and try new things out. Take responsibility for your own happiness. Do what you love to do and you will be happy. You will feel good about yourself and you will be improving your skills and your life. When you are happy and you feel good about yourself, people will notice you. Most importantly you will be meeting other people with the same interests and therefore more likely to be interested in you as well because you already have common grouns.

When you finally meet a worthy candidate for your heart don’t be shy to ask that “special someone” out for coffee. Most single people out there would actually like to be in a relationship someday, so why not you, and why not now? It might take a couple tries so don’t get discouraged if you don’t meet someone on your first jog around the park. Just get out there and do what you love. Love could be just around the corner.
