Home Alone 2: Lost in Thought

   In my post-college life, I've come to know a great number of freedoms and perks. Washing dishes when I feel like it? Fantastic. Buying food at the grocery store just to binge-eat it as soon as I get home? Awesome. And nothing will ever beat the joy of not having a bedtime. 

   Yeah, those are all pretty sweet deals, and I generally enjoy living the life of a carefree bachelor. But their is one massive disadvantage to the post-college life that no one prepared me for.

   The crushing, debilitating loneliness.

2. It was a monetary commitment that I would barely be able to handle.

3. It would be a chance to spend concentrated time with people my own age.

4. I absolutely had to go.
