You know what sucks...?

Being single.
Being single sucks.

Hear me out.

1. You get ripped off on housing. $1000-1300 per girl, per semester?
Let's calculate that... 6 girls, in one apartment, each paying roughly $1250.
That's $7,500 for one apartment, for one semester.
Now let's say one complex has 12 apartments in 5 buildings.
That's 75 apartments in one complex.
75 apartments paying $7,500 is $562,500 per semester.
Three semesters in the year = $1,687,500
That's not including the cost of living over the summer, the non-refundable portion of the deposit, and parking permit fee on top of that.
That, right there, is enough reason to explain why being single sucks.

2. You don't get to choose who you live with.
Every semester you get stuck with roommates who end up hating you for one reason or another.
At least when you're married you choose to be stuck living with that person.

3. Two words: Financial aid.

4.  When you're single, Mormon, going to school at BYU-Idaho and you're approaching your 21st birthday, something is clearly wrong with you.
You're not married? You're not going on a mission? And you mean to tell me you're actually okay with all of that?!
What in the world is wrong with you?

5. At the end of every semester you have to pack up everything, even if you're staying in the same exact apartment, and put it all on your bed so some stranger can come clean the space that you've already kept clean the entire semester. Oh, and did I mention that you have to pay 35 dollars for that as well?

Don't get me wrong, I know there are downsides to every situation in life, including being married. But let me tell you, at this point I'd marry the next male I see to get away from crazy roommates and greedy apartment complex owners.

Better yet, I'm dropping out of school and moving to Ireland.
