The prompt is: “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—get to know you better.”

I want to tell the following about myself:

– I start by comforting my friend and saying something along the lines of :

Dear Future Roommate,

I want you to know that no matter what you tell me about yourself, I’ll always accept it. There’s no pressure in our friendship.

– Then I want to tell him that I get excited by the smallest things, such as trying a new restaurant or participating in a club activity.

– The rest of the essay is a supplement to the goal that I’ll be a great friend.
