It's been almost 6 months since I've been living on my own. I can't believe how easy the transition was. I feel comfortable being by myself. That's not to say that there aren't some downsides to living alone. But for the most part, it's ok. It seems longer than 6 months. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
1. being able to do what you want, when you want it. Amazing. If I want to read, BAM. I'm reading. Wanna watch a movie? Go right ahead.
2. being naked. I know, TMI. But really, people. If, and when, you have the opportunity I know you do it. I love being naked. I wish I could do everything naked. I would be much happier at work if I were naked. Attendance would be up also...it's a win-win for everyone.
3. making your own food. Just like you like it. And being able to buy all the things you like and not have to take other people's opinions into consideration.
4. silence. when you want it. No fighting over the remote, no guests over that you didn't invite, no 'you're on my side of the room'".
5. you don't have to deal with anyone else's little annoying quirks...just your own.
Cons:
1. Not having someone to talk to. As entertaining as I am, it would be nice to ask questions aloud and get a response from someone else other than the voices in my head.
2. Not having someone else to cook. Sometimes it's nice to have food waiting for you when you walk in from class at 9pm and not have to worry about cooking. That's why I conveniently 'forget' to eat. I'm too busy doing things like blogging or looking up videos on youtube to cook.
3. Not having someone to help you zip up the back of your dress or buckle your bracelet. That happened to me last Saturday. I got my dress on but couldn't really get it off when I got home. I thought I was gonna be stuck in that dress until Monday. Thank god I'm twisty and bendy.
4. Silence. It's nice just feeling someone else's presence in the vicinity. Knowing someone is in the next room makes me sleep easier. That's why I like having Mad M. over. I sleep better on those nights.
5. watching a movie and laughing out loud at the funny part as you look around wondering who can share the moment with you. Some things are definitely funnier when someone else is there.
