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. (250 words/1800 characters)
My two guilty pleasures? Baking and 90's sitcoms. It is the perfect combination for a cozy Saturday night spent with a couple of my best friends. While reruns of Friends or Everybody Loves Raymond play in the background, we are busy making chai snickerdoodle cookies or trying to find a "healthy" alternative to white chocolate bark. It is simple, nothing fancy, but for those few hours, all we have to worry about is making sure that we are not so engrossed with the TV that we forget about the timer that rang ten minutes ago!
I am a little embarrassed to admit this, but until last year, puppy chow was about the only item I could make from scratch. At our school, birthdays are celebrated with trays and trays of baked goods, but there is an unofficial rule that all items must be homemade. However, because I decided to forgo puppy chow as one of my New Year's resolutions, I began to experiment with a little more complicated but still fail-proof recipes. I am proud to say that I have now mastered Oreo truffle balls and peanut butter fudge. I am still working on the vanilla sponge cake, but I am getting there!
By the time I meet you, hopefully I will be able to have a more extensive menu. Let me know whether you prefer chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry though so I can prepare it for our first late night TV date. I will even let you pick the season, but if you have never seen Will and Grace before, I will catch you right up. While we enjoy a few episodes and maybe do a recipe exchange, I cannot wait to learn more about you!
