Alone Time
I’ve been really enjoying having the condo in DC to myself for the last two weeks. It feels good to be home and really have my own space, privacy, and well, bathroom! I have a kitchen! And a TV! Don’t worry, I’m getting a TV next year for my dorm room, but no fancy cable sadly with a cool remote control.
I’ve enjoyed sleeping in, and cooking all my meals. How I’ve missed cooking! Sadly at Lynn, we do not have community kitchens to allow students to cook. Although, that wouldn’t be a bad idea for the future… hint hint Lynn.
In the last few years, I’ve learned that I really enjoy my alone time. I would have never thought 5 years ago that I was happy being by myself. I always thought that I was a social person, but now, I’ve figured out that I am a very social person after I’ve had my space and my alone time to chill, watch TV, cook, read a few books, play with the cats, explore some new thing. Once I feel like I’m personally recharged, I’m ready to go out, chill with my friends, party, what ever.
I realized that I hardly ever get this alone time in college. Reason why I can’t have roommates, cause they get mad when I go into my own world and really just stop talking, cause I’m chillin, doing my own thing in my own time. All of this can last for about a week so I’m prety much off the grid and sometimes it drives my friends crazy, because if I don’t get my alone time, I get seriously… well, grouchy.
As I get older, it is fun learning about myself. Just like everyone else, I’m learning and growing as a young adult. I’m def learning about myself, who I am, who I want to be, what kind of people I want in my life, what kind of life style I want to live, and college really as been a great environment for me to figure it all out in.
