  • Your friends will either be constantly telling you how envious they are or asking you if you’re ever scared.
  • Carrying all the stuff you bought to adorn your new home up the stairs alone is no joke.
  • But the satisfaction of building that €7 coffee table is unbeatable.
  • You might miss having a roomie to chat to but you certainly won’t miss their pile of dirty dishes or lack of enthusiasm for bringing out the bins.
  • Walking around in your underwear is more of a luxury than you could ever imagine.
  • You’ll find yourself with no plans some Friday night and realise just how much you love the quiet and peacefulness of having your own home.

So tell us – would you ever live on your own?
