I know SpongeBob has a pet snail, sorry, but I'm not counting Gary in this instance. The porous, yellow cartoon lives alone, and recently, so do I. We can relate! There are so many great things about living alone: choosing who you see and when, and especially what goes on in your house! SpongeBob has a funny way of explaining it.
1. No pants
Yup, that's right. No pants. Living alone means you have no one to impress, or better said, no reason to dress. Nothing better than coming home and taking those skinny jeans off, am I right?
2. Music/TV
With no one else's opinions getting in the way, you get to watch and listen to whatever you want! In my case, endless "Bravo" TV... or "Lemonade."
3. Less mess
If you are a decently neat person or prefer things clean, then you'll realize that living by yourself is a lot easier to keep up on cleaning then when a bunch of people are contributing to the mess.
4. More mess? Who cares!
If you're not a clean person or your place gets a little messy, the only one that can be bothered by it is you. Unless, of course, you have visitors... in that case, just clean it up.
5. You get to shop and cook for yourself
Although our diet probably isn't crabby patties like SpongeBob, it's amazing to have full freedom at the grocery store and in the kitchen.
6. Decor!
Clearly, we won't be as basic as a nautical sponge, but picking out home decor is so fun! Living alone means no compromising and agreeing on themes.
7. No makeup
This goes with the whole no pants deal. With no one to impress, you can wash that makeup off with no chance of seeing anyone in the near future.
8. No one to see you f*ck up
Whether you're tripping, burning yourself, dropping something or any other embarrassing things on the list we do daily, no one will be there to see!
9. Bathroom time
Having a bathroom to yourself is like a new world of amazingness. You can take time to pamper yourself, and no one complains about no hot water being left.
10. Your place, your rules
You wanna have the whole crew over? Who says you can't? Living alone doesn't mean you have to be alone all the time.
11. Quiet Time/You Time
For most people, it's a rare occurrence to live alone. Enjoy it! Read, get lots of sleep and spend time doing things you love to do.
