5 Good Things About Living Alone
Jacob Andrews

1. You don't have to share

This might go against everything you learned in kindergarten, but some things are just not meant to be shared, at least in my opinion. These things include bathrooms, food, personal space etc. Maybe its just me.

2. You can do whatever you want whenever you want

One of the biggest problems I've had with any roommate is coordinating a laundry schedule. I do laundry once a week and I cannot even count the times when I am ready to laundry, but then I come out and someone else's clothes are in the dryer or washer. When you live alone you can do laundry in the middle of the day if you want or everyday for that matter.

3. Privacy is not an issue

This has also been a problem because sometimes a thin wooden door just isn't enough privacy if you catch my drift. When you live alone you do not have to worry about being quiet when doing adult things if you catch my drift.

4. You are the only one responsible for rent.

When you live alone you do not have to worry about other people being late on rent. You also do not have to worry about giving someone else your rent and then them blowing it. I would only trust a hand full of people with that much money.

5. No awkwardness

This isn't so much a problem as it is a personality conflict. If you are like me then you approach strangers with awkward silence and inappropriate humor. A new roommate can be extremely awkward especially if you do not know them.

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.
