Although I love being with my friends and being part of a great community, I also enjoy being by myself. I am an introverted person and interacting with a lot of people for long periods of time, or being around people with big personalities, tires me out. So being alone gives me a chance to recharge and reflect on myself.

I am okay with being alone. I don't mind eating alone or walking to classes alone. If someone wants to join me, that's great and I'm more than happy to have them join me, but I don't need to have someone always by my side. And that's okay!

College is great because there are a lot of opportunities to be with people, but there are also plenty of opportunities to be alone. For example, finding a little nook in the library and just studying or doing work is a great feeling. You can get so much done and feel accomplished at the end of the day. Having the room to myself is also pretty nice because I could just sit and do work, or take a nap, or do both! I love my roommate, she's one of my best friends, but there's just something about having the room to yourself that is Even doing work in a lounge alone is pretty great.

We live in a world that is fast-paced and where everyone knows everything about everyone. It is good to take a step back and be alone to get away from the noise.

I think a lot of times we can get caught up in the lives of others, which can cloud our judgment and sometimes we can lose ourselves in the process. That is why I like to be alone sometimes because I can focus some time on myself so that I can help make the world better.
