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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
