I tried to be unique with this, I'm not sure how it turned out though. Be tough!
Dear Future Roommate,
Seeing as we will likely be spending a lot of time together for the next four years, you might as well get to know a little bit about Steve Prefontaine. No, my name is not Steve Prefontaine. Pre, however, is my hero and source of inspiration. Pre, like me, was a runner. Although I will never make it to the Olympics like he did, you may think I am training for Rio after a few double-digit mile runs at seemingly random times of day (or night). However much I may be obsessed with running, I take Pre's attitude beyond running and apply it to how I live.
My favorite Pre quote is "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift," so do not be surprised if you see me wearing my favorite shirt that has that quote on the back. But do know that I am going to give whatever it is we are doing together one-hundred percent. So whether it is a late-night cram session for that big test tomorrow, or cheering on the Red Sox, I will be giving it my all. Considered yourself warned that watching a baseball game with me can get intense.
You are probably thinking to yourself, "Oh great, a runner. I'm going to be stuck with a health nut!" Do not worry; I've been known to sneak in a Big Mac and Mello Yello on more than one occasion. Just be prepared for large portioned pasta dishes; running makes me hungry. Yes, I do give one-hundred percent on eating. You'll know what I mean if once you see how much I can eat!
I am sure that we are going to have plenty of good times during the next four years. Maybe after forcing you to watch Without Limits and some pleading, you will join me on a few runs.
