Ok for arguments sake lets say the chance of an actual nuclear war was even remotely likely, yes if you didn't get each and every single atom within your body ripped apart and survived the initial 'War'(if you can call it that it probably wouldn't last much over a week), many or most of the people you knew and loved would be dead.
Yes this is terribly sad and you may be lonely however, just imagine you have crawled out of the burning pit that you used to hide form the explosions you now have so many perks and opportunities that you may not have thought of as a result of this terrible catastrophe.

No law.
So this can be a gift and a curse, on the one hand plenty of things you might have to do to survive that may be frowned upon in polite company would now be, to all intents and purposes, legal. Due to the fact the is no law and no one to maintain it.
So taking as many tinned goods from abandoned super markets as you could carry WOULD now be very easy. Feeding yourself would not be a problem. However this also means other people could also steal, kill and torture without the threat of arrest. Silver linings right?

All of those great 'Apocalypse' weapons you see on youtube could be yours!
Again this goes kind of back to the no law thing. You could happily ransack peoples houses and make as many brutal weapons as your heart desired and indeed use them. Defending yourself would be very very easy and you could have fun experimenting with different kinds of weapon to find the best to crush the skulls of those who would otherwise do you harm. Double ended chainsaw sledge hammer?

Do what ever you want
Now there are significantly less people to insult and harm, it enables you to treat the world as your playground. Want to take a shit off the Eiffel Tower(Provided it's still standing) you go and take a shit off the Eiffel Tower.

All the time in the world.
No people means no job, that means no worries of money or time. You could spend all week just smashing up a house, or learn to speak Chinese(not sure you could do it in a week but you get the point). Without time restraints in your life and no one to answer to, you would be free to exploit your surroundings to the fullest.

Pretend your in a Fallout game.
For those who game, you could reenact the whole of the Fallout franchise and even build a house or find a dog(if there is an uncooked one available). An apocalypse really is a gamers dream come true.
_
Own anything you set your eyes on.
That really nice classic car your neighbour has? he's dead he won't be needing it anymore, take it out for a spin. Did I mention no speed limit? Is that a great sword in Buckingham Palace? better line up the water melons.

The world may be a giant sandbox now(quite literally I can imagine there would be a fair amount of dust) but you could go anywhere and do whatever you pleased(all while listening to 'The Wanderer' by Dion). The initial shock would be terrible but surviving the bombs would be well worth it. Every person could become whoever they wanted to be the possibilities are endless and all you need is to find a lead lined fridge!
