Strip Down Naked, And 10 Other Things To Do When You’re Home Alone, No Bae Needed

Freedom!

Finding out you are going to have some uninterrupted alone time can be great. Especially knowing you don't have to lock yourself in your room to get some peace for the night. Here are 11 things you can do to take advantage of having your entire house or apartment all to yourself that don't involve a significant other sneaking over.

1. Sing in the shower

When my family is home I often feel self-conscious about my singing voice. So when I'm home alone it is a great time to sing freely.

2. Blast music

Sometimes when other people are home you can't be as loud as you want to be. So when no one is home it's the perfect time to turn your music all the way up.

3. Strip

This is one of the few chances you get to be free. Take off your clothes and let your body relax. It is a great experience that you can only do very infrequently when you live with people. Even if you sleep naked, being able to walk around is a different kind of freedom.

4. Take naps in weird places

In the summer my house gets very hot so taking a nap on the cold tile kitchen floor feels great. Also, in the winter I like to sleep on the floor in the middle of the living room to feel the warmth from the fire place.

5. Dance

I don't have room in my bedroom to dance, so when everyone leaves the house and I turn up the music, it feels great to let loose and dance through the house.

6. Cook or bake

I also love cooking when no one is home because there is no one there to get in my way or steal my food.

7. Just do your thing in a different part of the house

Most commonly when my family is not home I just do the same stuff I was going to do in my room but in the living room.

8. Order food

If I'm not in the mood to cook or don't have all the ingredients, I'll order food. I don't have to share it with anyone and my mom won't yell at me for wasting money because she isn't there.

9. Have friends over

My parents are cool with me having friends over when they are not there. Sometimes, it's nice having them over then because we don't have to worry about being too loud.

10. Leave the back door open

I love feeling a breeze so I'll sit in the dining room to do work and leave the back door open. My parents get mad if I leave it open too long, so this is one of my favorite things to do in the summer.

11. Literally anything you like doing but feel weird doing in front of others

There are so many things you can do from watching movies to singing as loud as you can. Just do what makes you happy that is safe. It's your time to just be you and not worry about what others think.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
