The Perks of Being a Single Wallflower

Written by the residents of Hotel Francisco

1. You can literally drink, eat, and Nordstrom's Semi-Annual Sale a paycheck away without any immediate pangs of regret.

2. Eat an entire pizza, by yourself. Go ahead, we dare you. No judgement and no sharing.

3. Objectifying men is a lot less guilt-inducing.

4. You can finally catch-up on your 90s tv shows on Netflix Instawatch. See: Dawson's Creek and My So Called Life.

5. There is finally time to devote to hobbies such as nail art and organizing your socks.

6. Take that trip you've been wanting to. To Europe or the Aurora outlet mall.

7. Do the opposite of everything you did with the ex (exercise, watch romantic movies, go to bars that aren't on the Blue Line).

8. Home renovation. We took up the carpet and painted three rooms in our turn-of-the-century greystone. Live out your HGTV fantasies.

9. You have been given the gift of time; enjoy a two-hour get-ready-for-bed routine. Indulge in lotions, flossing, and taking baths while listening to Cat Power.

10. So many free nights to find someone better than the last. It's about moving forward.
