alone

I have a secret hobby: going to the movies alone.

I allowed myself to consider other possibilities — after all, the beauty of traveling alone was that anything could happen.

When I tell people I live alone, I usually receive a mixed bag of reactions – anything from “that’s the dream” to “I could never live alone.”

Despite my initial apprehension, spending a summer alone in Berkeley was the best thing that could have happened to me.

As time went on, I learned to cope with my homesickness, and I’ve now begun to see Berkeley as my second home, too. With any luck, these methods that helped me adjust will also work for you!

However long you spend as a college student at UC Berkeley, the time is never enough. There is simply too much to do and the days get away from you.

Spending time alone is an important task that we should all be cultivating. This list will help you spend time with your own company without feeling lonely. 

For all my life, I’ve always lived with somebody. This month marks the first time I’m living alone, and it's thus far been an eye-opening process.

It’s hard to feel connected to folks on a screen. Instead of feeling goosebumps when a room roars with laughter, now I see mute buttons.

While there’s certainly nothing wrong with a routine sometimes what one needs is a little sojourn to shake up college life. Enter: solo weekend traveling.
