Undergraduate / "First things first" ; Stanford Essay Supp-- The Fabled Letter to the Future Roomate [2]
The prompt (of doom!!!): Virtually all of Stanford's undergraduates live on campus. Write a note to your future roommate that reveals something about you or that will help your roommate - and us - know you better.
Hello Future Roommate!
I think you're already getting a sense of who I am, something that even I don't know and that's scary don't you think? It isn't!
First things first, I am quite mad in my own right and I am quite likely to think outside the box which usually means my solutions to problems end up being long and tedious unless I'm having a very inspirational day. I am a gamer although not obsessively. I love playing strategy games and if you want we can play a match (I'll win). Ironically though I'm completely useless at actual strategy games like chess and I can only play strategy video games well. What else should I tell you about myself? Oh! I'm probably also going to keep you up at night by reading books (or articles) and for that I apologise in advance because it's not like I'm trying to keep you awake (or am I?). What really matters about me is that I love to learn new things and improve on what I already know so the truth is that I'll be making impulsive (NOT dangerous) decisions at times such as joining a fencing club although I'm useless at fencing (I tried it once, it didn't go well). You should also know that I get hungry at all hours of the day and so if we have a fridge it will never be stocked. If it is then there is something definitely wrong (I'm probably hyper-focused on studying or on Doctor Who). My favourite television show is Doctor Who! I don't know why that is relevant but it probably says something about me... I think I'm a positive person in that respect or at least I try not to be a negative one even when I'm in a bad mood. You'll be able to tell when I'm in a bad mood, I'll start tidying up the room and organising my things (or did that mean I was anxious? Both?).
I don't know which snippet is important and which are not (maybe it is all important?) but the point is you should now know me a bit better. I hope you don't mind my energetic unpredictable self and we have a brilliant ride through this journey of learning. Agreed? Good!
And I only have 3 characters left. Any suggestions on how I could improve this? Even grammatical corrections would be helpful since I tend to miss those easily but what do you really think of this?
Thanks in advance if you reply because this is urgent and I REALLY want it to be good!
