5 Good Things About Living Alone
Jacob Andrews

1. You don't have to share

This might go against everything you learned in kindergarten, but some things are just not meant to be shared, at least in my opinion. These things include bathrooms, food, personal space etc. Maybe its just me.

2. You can do whatever you want whenever you want

One of the biggest problems I've had with any roommate is coordinating a laundry schedule. I do laundry once a week and I cannot even count the times when I am ready to laundry, but then I come out and someone else's clothes are in the dryer or washer. When you live alone you can do laundry in the middle of the day if you want or everyday for that matter.

3. Privacy is not an issue

This has also been a problem because sometimes a thin wooden door just isn't enough privacy if you catch my drift. When you live alone you do not have to worry about being quiet when doing adult things if you catch my drift.

4. You are the only one responsible for rent.

When you live alone you do not have to worry about other people being late on rent. You also do not have to worry about giving someone else your rent and then them blowing it. I would only trust a hand full of people with that much money.

5. No awkwardness

This isn't so much a problem as it is a personality conflict. If you are like me then you approach strangers with awkward silence and inappropriate humor. A new roommate can be extremely awkward especially if you do not know them.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
