I have reached a conclusion! After spending four days at home this week, I've decided I'm an extremely independent woman. So much so, in fact, that it's a fault

I'm in a bit of a similar situation, however, I do want to get out. Except I don't believe I can afford to without a room-mate which I will NOT do again. Thanks freshman and sophomore years of college.
Even if I though I could afford it, I'm still not sure want to keep this job, which I am apparently too lazy to get out of.
I try not to worry about seeming ungrateful, but most of the time I feel more like tenant and less like family. Odd.
I feel your pain. I can 'afford' to be on my own only thanks to my parents' co-signature on my student loans. I will be paying them back for yeeeeears to come. I've already told my parents that the only thing I want for graduation is a private loan from them so I can stay out of the house and rent an apartment asap. They laughed. I'm serious.
And I'm totally on board for the no roommate thing. I've had some great roommates over the years, but once you go it alone it would be hard to go back. I like the refrigerator not to be overloaded with food so when you open it you must protect your feet from frozen, falling objects, to shower without asking 15 people if they need the bathroom first, and the apartment relatively clean (aka no spills left unattended, etc). The boyfriend and I are talking about the possibility of moving in together once we both graduate. I hope I don't kill him. hehe
The only good roommate I had was the last one, because I didn't say two words to him until finals week. I never knew his name, I'm sure he didn't know mine. We got along fine.
However, My first year of college involved one of my roommates not returning after X-mass break, and leaving with my computer among other pieces of my property.
My second year (first semester) involved a drunk friend of a roommate urinating all over my room... among other places, while I was out of town.
So, when I transferred to real college I decided it was worth living in the freshman dorms in order to have a single. Because now I refuse to live with other people.
Oh, and not killing the boyfriend. Always a good idea.
