10 Reasons Living Alone is Da Bomb

Roommates aren't for everyone

10 Reasons Living Alone is Da Bomb

I've had more than one roommate, and I couldn't make it work. I have so many reasons I hated living with another person, and the stress it causes is not conducive to a college environment. Here is why I think living alone is the best.

1. You have your own space

If you want to leave your dirty clothes on the floor for a week, you can. If you don't want to make your bed every morning, you don't have to.

2. You have your own schedule

If you want to skip a class and sleep in, go you. You don't have to worry about when your roommate's alarm clock is going to go off in the morning.

3. You can have whoever over whenever

If you want your friends over at midnight to play Uno, you do you. If your best friend is visiting from his college, you don't have to ask anyone's permission.

4. You can wear whatever, whenever

If you get out of the shower and don't feel like getting dressed, you can lay around in your bathrobe for hours. There's also no one to judge what you wear to class or the bar.

5. You can watch TV at 4 am

If you can't sleep and need something to distract your brain, you do what you want. You can watch your favorite show until you fall asleep or whenever you want.

6. You can blast your music when you're getting ready for class

If you want to listen to country music while you dance around in the morning, there's no one to tell you to get different taste in music.

7. You can go wherever you want, whenever you want without worrying about another person

If you are out from 9 to 9, you don't have to get "where are you?" texts when you're trying to get work done. If you have meetings at 10 or 11 at night, you don't have to worry about waking your roommate when you get home.

8. Your food is your food

If you're saving the leftover pizza for dinner, you don't have to worry about someone eating it before you get home. You also don't have to worry about someone drinking your wine when you're not around.

9. You can choose to see other people or not

If you want to go all Sunday without seeing anyone, go for it. If you really need to finish a paper during finals, you can have your friend over or you can do it alone.

10. You have less stress when you come home

If you had a hard day, you don't have to worry about your roommate's hard day creating an issue or where she put your favorite sweats.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
