While living with roommates is fun, there are some things about it that just absolutely suck. I lived with 9 girls for two years and the minute I moved out on my own I was a million times happier. Here are the things I love about living alone.

1. My house, my rules

Living alone means I can live by my own rules. No quiet times or having to ask if something is ok. I can make and break my own rules and there’s no one else to say otherwise.

2. I’m not living someone else’s schedule

No more waking up for because someone else had an 8 am or rushing to shower before someone else gets in. I can take my time and have my own schedule.

3. I can keep my soaps in the shower

Honestly, nothing was more annoying than having to constantly move my soaps in and out of the shower whenever I would use it. Living alone means I can just leave everything in one place.

4. I don’t have to worry about someone else leaving the door unlocked

Living with roommates was always very stressful because I always had to worry about if the door was unlocked. Plenty of times it was and my personal belongings got stole. Because of it. Living alone I can always make sure my door is locked and my belongings safe.

5. No one else is here to take or move my stuff

The most annoying part about roommates is when they move or take your stuff without asking. Since I am my only roommate I no longer have to deal with my stuff being moved or stolen.
