Most people think having a roommate is one of the greatest experiences alive, but to me, it was probably the worst experience of my life. No hate to either one of my old roomies but it just didn't work out, it was like a terrible break-up and you were stuck in the same room with someone you absolutely hated. My anxiety would flare up twenty-four-seven whenever I was in my room which, isn't fair you should be comfortable in your own room. If you need some convincing as to why you should live alone just continue reading.

1. You never have you use headphones.

If you want to watch a movie before bed, listen to music while doing homework, or even just binge watch a Netflix show, you never have to use headphones. No more annoying little earbuds in your ears, just a speaker, a screen, and you all comfy and cozy no matter where you sit or lay!

2. More space for your things.

Not having a roomie in a dorm means, double the space. No half room bull crap that most people have to deal with.

3. You get a king-sized bed.

Yes, if you push two twin beds together you get a king, #themoreyouknow.

4. You don't have to clean all the time.

Sure, you might be a neat freak or you might be a slob but without a roomie, it doesn't matter you can have your room however you want it!

5. You can do whatever color scheme you want.

That's right, no color coordinating to make sure things don't clash!

6. You can have whomever you want in your room whenever you want.

Boyfriends, Best Friends, Hook-Ups... the number of people are endless!

7. You never have to worry about being judged.

That's right, no judgment, it's your own room now! Talk to your best friends about embarrassing secrets without the fear of it being spread around to others.

8. No drama.

Probably the best thing about living alone, you don't have to deal with drama in your room. It's a stress-free life!

9. It feels more like home and less jail cell-ish.

Your own room, just like home.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
