Dear Roommate,
Are you ready to make the most of what Stanford presents to us? I sure am! Are you "normal?" I definitely am not!
Enthusiasm is the most vibrant quality of mine. My enthusiasm is contagious, or at least it is to my parents; I make any moment the moment. Whether it's through my harmonious bagpipes, tuned to perfection, or during the 19th minute of baking 20-minute muffins, I make it the most exhilarating moment of the day. You must be thinking, "Seriously, the bagpipes?" Well I speak the truth; I do play the bagpipes and, if I am allowed to, I will definitely show you the splendor of the bagpipes. Do not worry though, as soon as the bagpipes get too annoying for you, I will try not to be offended, and promptly put it away. As much as I like my bagpipes, there is something I am more passionate about: cooking.
I don't cook the greatest lasagna or make the best tacos, but I do know how make scrumptious muffins (as long as it's a just-add-water recipe). I don't know whether it's my eagerness for muffins that serves as a placebo, or I know the golden ratio of muffin mix to water, but my muffins never fail to disappoint. When we arrive to our dorm, making muffins for you will be the second thing I do.
First, I want us to explore. By the second day on campus, I want us to know every corner of Stanford's campus, every research facility, and above all, every fast food location! We'll use a bicycle to travel across the campus so we can burn off the delicious food we eat. Oh that reminds me, we must engage in sports!
I hope you also are hyped about attending athletic events, especially the football games and tennis matches at Stanford, since they're exceptional programs I am passionate about tennis, although I'm not varsity-worthy. I definitely wish to compete at the intramural level. If you join me, perhaps you can learn to love some of the things I do. Of course, we'll establish a healthy balance; I'm open to your passions too.
