I want to be done tomorrow so please comment what you think! Thank you in advance!
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. (100 to 250 words)
Hey Roomie,
The time came to make a step of a boat of high school and break the water surface, discovering a vast world beyond. This is always exiting and a little nerve-racking, that I can tell you as a diver.
Hailing from Moscow, I may seem to be a person whose life is governed by schedules. Well, let me dispel that notion for you right here and now. While my Jewish mother did instill in me the importance of academics and getting things done in advance, my Ukrainian father balanced out the seriousness of my life by teaching me how to have fun. I'm a prof in organizing all sorts of activities from vareniki party to Maslenitza celebration. "What's that?" you ask. You'll find out as soon as I start organizing crazy parties and adventures for us that are sure to serve as bonding moments with everyone in our student complex. Our room will be known as the no-boredom zone for sure.
I don't intend to send you into a culture shock tailspin. Just know that there is never going to be a dull moment when I am around. Either we exchange cultural stories and learn about each other, or we study through the night together, our room will remain a peaceful harbor for both of us. I have a lot to share with you both philosophical and satirical and I look forward to discovering all that is unique about you.
Roomie, in a few months we'll lounge into exploring the unknown together, as real dive buddies, breathing in the same air from our gas tanks - the Stanford air.
See you soon,
Alina
