Some people love to spend the weekend alone. I, on the other hand, tend to hate being alone for a full weekend. Most people would relax, do homework, sleep, etc. When I spend a weekend alone I feel like I have to constantly be doing something until I collapse or fall asleep. I will clean, do laundry, do the dishes, do homework, but sometimes I also just sit in my bed and play video games for a day. It's weird being alone. When I hear noises in my apartment, I start to hope someone is here, just so I can see another person.
When I stay a weekend alone, my roommates aren't at my apartment with me. This usually means that I can use the washer and dryer all day and if I forget my laundry, they won't mind. But I don't have anyone to talk to, so it still gets boring. I usually don't leave my door open when they are here, but I find myself having it open for a full day if they aren't here. It gets boring not hearing the noises of other people walking around the apartment for a few days. I am loud when they aren't here, but when they're here I try to be quiet. Some things are just different when you're alone.
Spending a whole weekend alone means that my boyfriend works. When he works, we don't talk a lot during the weekend. That's fine, because we are both doing things. We don't have to talk all day, because we talk when he's not busy. What sucks about him working all weekend is that it means I am alone without someone bugging me. Usually if we spend a weekend together, we don't do a whole lot, but it is still someone to be around. It's someone to have human interaction with.
Some friends live at home and I hate asking them to drive here just to spend the night with me. It is a 45 minute drive for some of them and I wouldn't want them to drive that long just to spend the day. That is silly to me, so I just stay at my apartment alone. I talk to them on the weekends and during the week. I am sure they would come stay, but I hate to ask them. I don't want them to feel like they have to drive here to see me when they could be doing other things and they could stay home.
Some of my other friends like to go out on the weekends. I don't like going out. To be honest, I would rather stay home than go out, but I guess that's why I sit at home.
Sitting at home on the weekend when you're in college gets very boring, but I make my own choices. I choose to sit alone. I get a lot of things done, but it does get lonely. Being in college and spending a weekend alone is very odd. You don't really get a lot of weekends alone when you're in college, so the ones you do get alone, cherish them. If you're like me and feel like you have to do something, do homework, do laundry, sleep. Make the best of the rare occasion of a weekend alone.
