Don't get me wrong — having a roommate is a great thing. There's always someone to talk to and someone to go eat with or go to events with. But there are definitely perks of not having a roommate. I mean, who wouldn't want to have the tiny room all to themselves? By yourself, there is definitely more room in the tiny room than there is when you are sharing that room with someone else.

1. You get the whole room to yourself

You get double the space, two closets, two desks, two dressers, more wall space to decorate.

2. Alone time

You get to be alone all the time and only when you want to be with people do you have to be.

3. Extra bed

You actually have somewhere for a friend to sleep when they come visit or when you and your friends at school feel like having a sleepover rather than them having to sleep on the floor.

4. Clean/messy room

You don't have to worry about cleaning up your messes immediately, 'cause you're the only one who lives there, but the downside is that your messes can get out of control, and when you want someone to come over or they want to come over you have to really clean up.

5. No one to bother

You don't have to worry about your music or the videos you're watching being too loud 'cause there isn't anyone else in the room studying or trying to do something. You can FaceTime your friends from home without feeling like you're bothering the other person you're in the room with, because there isn't anyone else in the room with you.
