Living alone and being single, while utterly depressing in many ways, is something everyone should definitely experience. I was living with my parents throughout my early twenties so this is the first time I'm single and don't have to worry about:

A) telling the girl you live at home (maybe it's just me but I DREADED this at 23/24)

B) Having somewhere to take them with total privacy

It feels like those two issues were huge. Really regret not living alone when I was younger.
