This year I have the opportunity to live on my own in on off campus house.So far it has been pretty interesting.There are defiantly pros and cons of living on my own.Here are just a few thoughts I have had while living on my own.

1. It is so quiet!

I do not have a roommate.There are no obnoxious neighbors.I can actually concentrate on my work and not be bothered by anyone.This is so great!

2. It is kind of lonely

So yeah peace and quiet is great, but it could get a little bit lonely at times. If you want to see people you have to go out of your way to make plans instead of just walking down the hall or knocking on your roommate’s door.Let’s be honest, nobody wants to do that.

3. There is no one to share with!

All of the food is mine!I do not have to worry about someone stealing my snacks or taking a water bottle without replacing it!This is way too perfect!

4. There is no one to share with.

Oh yeah, I am the only one here to buy food and to clean stuff. Great.

5. The shower is mine and only mine

This goes without saying, but having a shower to myself is one of the single greatest things to happen to me in a college living facility.

6. There is no one to yell at you when you sleep in

My alarm did not go off!Why didn’t anyone tell me?Oh…right.

7. I have a washer and dryer all to myself

Ok I lied.This is the single greatest thing to happen to me in a college living space.They are always open.No one will touch my stuff.I could leave things in the dryer if I am in a hurry.I do not need to use the laundromat (bigger blessing than one might think).Everything is awesome!

8. I am alone with my thought

So I guess this is good and bad.Sure sometimes I miss having others around, but honestly it is nice to be alone with my thoughts.I can get so much more done now than I have before.I never have to find a place to go if I want to be alone.The TV is mine and solely mine (ok maybe that is the best thing to happen in a college living space).Besides, if it gets too lonely I can always go out of my way to see people.It is really not as big of a deal as I made it sound earlier.Living alone really is a great option!
