<p>What kind of stuff should we write in the describe yourself section? I'm blanking. I don't really know what's relevant. Right now I feel like I'll live with anybody that's neat (which they already asked me) and will keep the room relatively quiet (which they also already asked me). Any advice? The exact prompt is below. Thanks.</p>
<p>Please utilize this space to describe yourself more fully, and to describe the characteristics you would prefer to find in your roommate(s). It is important to address this section thoughtfully, and to be open and honest. This additional information allows us to make better rooming matches. (Please limit your response to approximately 250 words).</p>
<p>Don't get too anxious about it- it's not a trick question.</p>
<p>What do you plan to concentrate in? Do you play sports? Do you play an instrument? Nothing difficult, but maybe you'd prefer a roommate you can play frisbee with, or whatever. Just tell them what comes to mind about yourself. It could help them. (And if it doesn't, then it's no big deal).</p>
<p>i did mine in bullet points about myself. the bullets included anything and everything i can think of. i just started writing simple things and then it became easier. here's an example:</p>
<p>*i love being social with people and having them around, but at the same time, i like my privacy.
*i don't mind sharing as long as permission is asked.
*i'm very even-tempered. it takes a lot to make me angry, but when i do get angry, it is usually like world war three. but afterwards, i'm over it.
*i don't really hold grudges
*i like to sing loudly, even though i can't really.
*i'm fiercly loyal
*my favorite activity in the world is laughing
*my motto is "life is short, so enjoy it"
*i'm very very liberal, but i'm not that much of an activist.
*i want a roommate who is from a different cultural background or has different views so that i can learn from them</p>
<p>i wrote out that list in about 2 minutes, and i think it gives a good impression of what i'm like.</p>
<p>darn, forgot to put my political leaning</p>
<p>Wow hotpiece, thank god you're not my roomate...geez.</p>
<p>really harmon, i'm actually super easy to live with. my roommates and i got along great this year</p>
