<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I am having some trouble with the roommate essay on the Stanford supplement. I don't want to just list qualities about myself, because that is probably what everyone does, but at the same time, I don't want to kill the essay trying to make it too creative. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I write it in a letter format, or is it best if I write it a a normal essay format?</p>

<p>It’s an essay you can have fun with. You can never kill it by being too creative. Most of the essays are boring. Write something that will feel like a breath of fresh air to the reader.</p>

<p>It can be any format you want - does not have to be formal.</p>
