Perks of Having Alone Time

Being alone is something a lot of people have an exceptionally hard time with. Oftentimes being alone brings unwanted feelings of loneliness, and those who are so used to being surrounded by their social circle may feel crappy when they look up and realize there is nothing going on around them. 

Living in a dorm can add to the hustle and bustle of being surrounded by people. College women are among this group of people who tend to be involved with countless organizations on campus, or have a ton of friends they’re used to being around 24/7. 

The truth is that you won’t always be in the position of being surrounded by rows of smiling faces. In fact, as you grow older your friends will get busy with their own lives, as will you with yours! Spending time alone is going to be a frequent occurrence for everyone as life goes on, and believe it or not, you’ll probably cherish it. 

So if you happen to be one of those people who gets a little down when you are left to hang out by yourself on a weekend night, try and view it as a night for personal recuperation. Alone time is a chance to catch up with yourself and your thoughts. Having a few hours to yourself can result in self improvement, no matter how minor or major it may be. Whether you tackle a yoga session, give yourself a manicure, or binge watch YouTube videos, you’ll have the opportunity to recharge for the next day of work or social life. Don’t be afraid of spending time by yourself! Instead get things done or spend your time lazying around watching New Girl.
