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.

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.
