i lived alone for like 6 months after my first roomate moved in with his brother in college. we got along great, he was really neat and clean and responsible and everything, but he decided to buy a house with his brother or something. living alone was the best ever but i do pretty well with entertaining myself. its also nice being the one that controls everything in the house. the lay out and arrangement, the furniture, you know all the dishes are yours, you only have to clean up after yourself, you can have the temperature at whatever you want and you can basically just do whatever you want. then a new guy that moved in was a slob, stole my food, never bathed, etc. it was a nightmare, but thankfully it only lasted like 4 months. then i lived with 3 of my good friends from high school and it was a lot of ups and downs, but mostly ups and i would probably do it again, because you know you can get in a fight with the person and be cool the next day. right now at age 22 i think i am at the point in my life where i want to move away from the slobness and have nice things and a nice living environment, but one of my roomates who is two years older than me still chooses to live like a slob and i can't stand it. i'm getting a place in june with just me, my girlfriend that i currently live with and our dog and its going to be awesome.
