As a fortunate young adult and student living with my family, I have come to appreciate the comforts of having a roof over my head, meals prepared for me (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), my clothes washed, and not having to worry about cleaning my room. This leads me to realise that there is a completely opposite and contrasting side, with the uncertainties that come with living alone as a bachelor.

They do much more than just beat the heat—they enhance air circulation, boost your décor, and are a boon for energy savings.
