- I can keep my room as messy or as clean as I want (usually somewhere in the middle :)
- I can talk to my family (& my dogs!) on the phone or FaceTime and not worry about being too noisy
- I can watch TikTok, Netflix, and Disney+ (my current fav is Liv and Maddie) without headphones
- I can wake up whenever I want and not worry about alarms or waking up to a roommate’s alarm
- I can take naps when I want and don’t have to ask roommates to be on the quieter side
- I can go to sleep when I want to each night
- I don’t have to worry about a roommate borrowing my stuff without my permission
- I have full control over what temperature my room is (window open/shut, fan on/off)
- I have a (massive) closet all to myself
- I have plenty of room for the excessive amount of stuff I brought to college
- If I am having a bad day, I can cry or call my mom without feeling disruptive or embarrassed
- I can reorganize my room and belongings how I please
- I can go to my friends’ rooms when I want to and come back to my own room at the end of each day
- I can have friends/family visit my room and not have to ask for a roommate’s permission
- Most importantly, I have a great balance between alone time and time spent with friends
