Most people think having a roommate is one of the greatest experiences alive, but to me, it was probably the worst experience of my life. No hate to either one of my old roomies but it just didn't work out, it was like a terrible break-up and you were stuck in the same room with someone you absolutely hated. My anxiety would flare up twenty-four-seven whenever I was in my room which, isn't fair you should be comfortable in your own room. If you need some convincing as to why you should live alone just continue reading.

1. You never have you use headphones.

If you want to watch a movie before bed, listen to music while doing homework, or even just binge watch a Netflix show, you never have to use headphones. No more annoying little earbuds in your ears, just a speaker, a screen, and you all comfy and cozy no matter where you sit or lay!

2. More space for your things.

Not having a roomie in a dorm means, double the space. No half room bull crap that most people have to deal with.

3. You get a king-sized bed.

Yes, if you push two twin beds together you get a king, #themoreyouknow.

4. You don't have to clean all the time.

Sure, you might be a neat freak or you might be a slob but without a roomie, it doesn't matter you can have your room however you want it!

5. You can do whatever color scheme you want.

That's right, no color coordinating to make sure things don't clash!

6. You can have whomever you want in your room whenever you want.

Boyfriends, Best Friends, Hook-Ups... the number of people are endless!

7. You never have to worry about being judged.

That's right, no judgment, it's your own room now! Talk to your best friends about embarrassing secrets without the fear of it being spread around to others.

8. No drama.

Probably the best thing about living alone, you don't have to deal with drama in your room. It's a stress-free life!

9. It feels more like home and less jail cell-ish.

Your own room, just like home.

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.
