10 Reasons Living Alone is Da Bomb

Roommates aren't for everyone

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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
