That said, I don&#8217;t know if I am in the best position to respond to this because I have never lived alone. Still, I&#8217;ll do my best. BI (before Igwe, tehehe), I lived with mom. Though there were times I was home alone for days, the fact is that at some point, mom always came back home. But a typical day for me involved school and\/or work, coming home to work on my assignments &#8211; if I had any &#8211; and then, focusing the rest of my time on my blog.<\/p>\n<p>In between, I talked to friends on the phone a lot. By the time I start a conversation with Funmie, we might go on for hours, literally. \u00a0I was never much of a TV person, but when I could, I hung out with friends. There were times that I even hung out alone. I&#8217;d go to restaurants, Barnes and Noble, movies, etc &#8212; by myself.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t say that I was ever really bored or wanting for something to do, as somehow, I always had something to do. Blogging and blog-patrolling alone could take all day. My disclaimer here is that I am also an only child, so being by myself &#8211; even when I was doing nothing &#8211; was never too much work. I relished my solitude.<\/p>\n<p>My advice for you &#8211; though it might sound like a clich\u00e9 &#8211; is get a hobby. Maybe a Zumba class. Cooking. Movies. Blogging. Reading. Or if you have good friends, meet up! Discover new places together. When in doubt, take a nap. Everything becomes better after a nap.<\/p>\n<p>Now, over to everyone. Please tell her what to do.<\/p>\n<p>Image source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.essence.com\/2011\/05\/03\/single-black-women-dating-relationship-sound-off\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Essence<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This question isn&#8217;t actually for only single people.
