Hi, there. I have to say that I have been wondering who you would be since I was a young girl. It is finally that year -- 2012, and I am so excited to start my new life. I cannot wait for the adventures and trials that we will endure together in our dorm, especially those midterm all-nighters. I am an only child, which makes me value the relationships I develop with others even more. I have many conservative values, but if you do not, that only excites me more as I am always interested in hearing the other perspective.
Together, there is nothing that we cannot overcome. I am not afraid of anything. If there is a spider crawling on your mattress, I will gladly pick it up and set it free from its own horrific experience- no spider guts, please! I love to do yoga and I am fluent in American Sign Language, two things that calm my nerves. If you are stressing, I can show you some moves. I love sports and the outdoors, and I plan on joining the novice crew team, rock climbing, and training for a marathon. If you need an adventure, I'm your girl.
My favorite thing about Stanford is its overall entrepreneurial spirit. I want to be a sustainable business owner, and I look forward to getting some startups going while here. So, if you see a wall covered with whiteboards, tape, and scribbles of numbers, do not be alarmed; it's not another one of my art pieces, I am just keeping track of my pennies! Art is a very important part of who I am. I might hang some of O'Keeffe's, Basquiat's, or even my own work up. With regards to art, I hope that my taste in music will grow on you; It's a bit unusual. I love CocoRosie (sisters with beards!) and The Tallest Man on Earth (his voice cracks, but I love it!) and some clean rap. Amongst all of this, I am someone that you can count on. I know that we will have an amazing time together during the years to come. The most important thing to me in life is those whom I spend it with. So, tell me about yourself. By the way, I'm Jade.
