1. No pants? No problem.

2. You can watch a movie in peace.

While you are lounging around the house sans pants, why not pop in a movie? This is fabulous for multiple reasons. First, if you are like me, it is physically impossible for you to watch a movie with other people without asking a question every 30 seconds. Watching a movie by yourself allows you to actually concentrate on the movie without the incessant stream of questions.

Second, you are free to ugly-cry in peace. So go right ahead and pop in that well-worn copy of The Notebook, and let the tears fall. There will be no witnesses to your puffy eyes, blotchy face, and red, stuffy nose.

3. Impromptu dance parties.

Nothing beats a solo no-pants dance party. Who cares if you dance like a 60-year-old white lady? There is no one around to watch you bust a move (or a hip if things don’t go so well).

4. You can belt out your favorite tunes.

Maybe you have the voice of an angel or maybe you sound worse than nails on a chalkboard. Either way, there is no one around to hear you belt it out like a banshee.

5. You can eat as much junk food as you want.

Cookies, candy, chips, and more candy. The calories don't count if no one is around to witness your eating them, right?

6. You can read a book without interruption.

Have you ever been up to the best part of a book when your mom walks in and bombards you with questions about your day, school, and the future? And no matter how many times you tell her to give you a second so you can finish your chapter, she just doesn't stop talking? Avoid this unfortunate situation by hanging out by yourself.

7. Two words. Bubble. Baths.
