Living alone, like most things, has its ups and downs. The obvious 
advantage is freedom to come and go as I please, and be able to
do as I please in my own apartment. The obvious disadvantage is
loneliness, but that's all been talked about, so I'll say no more.

As I see it, there are 2 distinct alternatives to living alone.
1) living with roommates, and 2) living with an SO. At this 
stage in my life, I have no desire for 1). The anti-loneliness
benefits it provides can be gotten in other ways. 2) is something
I have never done, but I am sure that I would want to under the
right circumstances. Sure, there would be many hassles and sacrifices,
but there is potential for rewards that cannot be obtained in
any other way.
