<p>Hey guys, This is for the "letter to your future roommate" prompt in the Stanford Supplement.
I'd really appreciate it if you could look it over and give me some feedback. Thanks!</p>

<p>Dear future roommate,
I believe that nothing in life is guaranteed except two things: death and our friendship. How do I know the latter? It’s simple. If I’m “a” and you’re “c” and “b” is our time together as destined roommates, then according to the Transitive Property, you and I are guaranteed to be friends.
As I’m sure you can see, I’m always open to a good laugh and hearty smile, even if it’s derived from a lame math reference (this one was much more subtle). I believe that worry is a waste of an emotion and try to make any and all situations lighter. I’m a guy who is very easy to talk to so feel free to come to me with any questions, whether it be about high level calculus or your latest girl problems (no promises on the outcome of my relationship advice). I do have to admit, however, that I am guilty of loud and obnoxious sleep talking and hope that any top secret information that leaks out through this fault remains between the two of us.
As a forewarning, you will probably be woken up many early mornings for I am somewhat into music. As I have been playing the piano for 13 years and the trumpet for 9, I have no intentions to stop, even if it means annoying everyone in our dorm building. I apologize in advance if my high register trumpeting interferes with your studies or if my piano’s major and minor harmonies keeps you awake (that is, if I can fit a grand piano between our bunk beds and night stands). On top of all of this, I also listen to music of all kinds, including jazz, reggae, hip-hop, and rap, all of which I sing or hum along to. I hope that you will join me in one of my glorious singing sessions, although my average lyric accuracy remain around 52.4%, even lower for rap.
The most important thing that you should know about me is that I am understanding. If you accidentally eat my leftover burrito in the fridge, I’d rather you tell me the truth than try to keep it a secret. Although I’ll still make you buy me a new burrito, I will eat it knowing that you are a good and honest roommate and friend.</p>

<p>I sincerely enjoyed that! Although I’d be more cautious about posting essays for everyone to see. Usually, people ask experienced members to read over their essays. You never know who’s reading this essay and stealing your ideas for it (but I’m not applying to Standford, so no worries there!).</p>

<p>Honestly, if I was your roommate and I got this, my immediate reaction would be to dislike you for not being willing to even compromise on your music, when and where it’s played. You don’t seem like you care if people are sleeping or studying, what you want to do (even if it’s not related to studying) appears to be the only thing that matters.</p>
