Living On My Own: Part 2 - Things I've Noticed

Awesome

  1. Dirty dishes are always mine, so I can reuse them out of the sink if I want to. Before, I could never be sure...
  2. Music from my computer in my living room fills my apartment. I can hear it no matter what room I am in. This is great, because I love music, and I love being able to constantly listen to it no matter where I am or what I am doing.
  3. It's very peaceful. There is no noise of other people moving around, doing things, or complaining that the entire internet is "broken" and that I should fix it.
  4. I have plenty of space to move around & do things. Such as roll around on the floor, if I so felt compelled.
  5. No one else is around to eat all the good cookies, except me.

Not So Awesome

  1. I'm not entirely positive how loud I can play my music without my neighbors hearing.
  2. My microwave, while I AM grateful to my cousin for letting me borrow hers, displays gibberish for numbers. As a result, I never know what it's doing, so I press random buttons until it turns on, then guess at when the food is done.
  3. Having more than one room, now I have to walk all over my apartment to get things that used to be within arm's reach in my miniature room at home. The same problem happens if I need to put those things away.
  4. When I lose things, there are more places I need to look.

Just Different

  1. A bedroom stash of food and drink just doesn't make sense anymore.
  2. Things stay where you leave them. Now, this could be good if it's personal items. But it's bad if it's trash.
