Independent

I'm finally getting my own place. It's exhilarating to think about living completely on my own. Doing my own grocery shopping, paying rent, learning to cook, the freedom of growing up has finally approached. My freshman year I lived in the dorms, my sophomore year I lived in my sorority house and now I'm finally getting my own place. I just can't wait to have my own room again and be able to finally eat some decent food. Whenever I'm hungry, or want to cook, I CAN! My freshman year I unfortunately had to live in a converted Lounge room in Smith. It was awful. I was not a fan of the dining halls and I always seemed to be hungry when they were closed. My sophomore year I moved into the sorority and although it was a great experience I was not as pleased at I would have liked to be. Lunch was an hour long, dinner was a half hour. Most of the time I had class and missed out on meals that I had been paying for. We have "late plates" but most of the time someone snatches it from the fridge before I even receive it. It will be so nice to only have 3 roomates in 3 seperate rooms instead of 4 roomates living in just 1! I will finally get to sleep in my own bed again and if there's a day I feel like being messy I'm more than welcome to! I can do my laundry whenever I want and not have to worry about paying with quarters or staying up all night because the only available time slots are at 2 a.m. I can come and go as I please and I won't have to worry about "man hours" anymore! If I want a boy in my room I can surely do so. Oh, how I can't wait for May!

The reason I am blogging about this is because it reminded me of the day we talked about single life. I'm single and even though it has its low times it can also be very exciting. You can do so many things when you're young and its nice to be able to experience so many more options when you are single and independent!
