<\/p>\nMy roommate Lyn is gone for the summer, and I am busy checking “living alone” off my 30-Before-30 list. If you are looking for a helpful guide to aid you in making the decision of whether to have roommates or not, I have written one up for you. So here goes, pros and cons of living alone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pro. Quiet mornings without hearing anybody else.<\/p>\n
Con. Quiet evenings in which the creaks of the house are amplified.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pro. You don’t have to share your popcorn.<\/p>\n
Con. When you make way too much food, there’s nobody else to eat it, and you’re stuck with mushroom risotto for a week.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pro. You always know who the hair on the bathroom floor belongs to.<\/p>\n
Con. You always know who the hair on the bathroom floor belongs to.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pro. You can always pick what to watch.<\/p>\n
Con. There’s nobody to share the hilarity of what you’re watching.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pro. Less dishes.<\/p>\n
Con. Every single dish has to be washed by you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pro. You can eat more cheaply. Rice and beans for daaaays.<\/p>\n
Con. Except when you stop at Aldi way after dinner time when you’re starving, and then there’s nobody to split the bill with you. Never mind.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pro. You get to take all the trash out, and pay all the bills yourself.<\/p>\n
Con. Oh wait, that was a con.<\/p>\n
