10 Things You Have Totally Done Living Alone

Pants? What are pants?

Being at home alone is one of the few luxuries one can have that doesn't cost anything. Here are a few thoughts we all run through when we're home alone, living as the kings of our own castle.

1. Pants? What are pants?

If you live alone or you are home alone, then pants are non existent. XXL T-shirts and crew socks are my every day wear.

2. Not leaving your bed except for serious emergencies, like food and the bathroom.

Watching season upon season of "Grey's Anatomy" in one day, never leaving bed except to grab food and go to the bathroom. However, you know you have totally debated in your head if you really need to go to the bathroom.

3. The bathroom door never gets closed.

That bathroom door doesn't close. Ever. No point.

4. Spending hours in the bathroom having a dance party.

No shame, full Broadway productions of "Burlesque" have occurred in your bathroom while getting ready. The Super Bowl half-time show has nothing you. You might also just be getting ready so that you can Snapchat and look like you actually left the house today.

5. Getting irrationally terrified someone is going to murder you.

Was that the wind? Or was it the mass murderer from "SVU" come to hold me hostage and murder me. Time to call Mom.

6. Wash clothes more than once because you were too lazy to get them out of the washer.

No one else needs to use it. Sometimes they get washed 2-3 times before they make it out of the laundry room. It's an extra cleaning measure.

7. The couch is basically a second bed.

Sometimes the walk from the couch to your bedroom is just too far. Especially in the middle of the day. Beds are for sleeping, couches are for napping.That just sounds better.

8. Lying on social media.

"Such a productive day, all my homework is done, the house is all cleaned and now I am making this new super healthy recipe I just found on Pinterest!" (Tweeted from your bed, which you have not left all day.) Or snapping a picture of Netflix on Snapchat with the caption "time to relax" when you are on your third season of the day.

9.Using all the hot water.

You have totally sat in the bath tub for an hour running all the hot water, shut the water off, let the hot water build up again, drain the water down and fill it up again.

10. Talking to yourself or to your dog.

Living alone isn't lonely, you narrate your life to yourself. Sometimes out loud. I don't recommend out loud though because you will get into the habit and you will do it front of other people.

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.
