Unique Roomate Essay Idea? What do you think?

<p>For Georgia Tech, one of the essay prompts is the "write a letter to your future roomate" type letters. I have an idea that I could talk about how I want to major in computer science, but also I do other things that aren't stereotypically computer-science-y (longboarding, volleyball, snowboarding etc.)</p>

<p>So basically the gist of the essay will be "I may be majoring in computer science, but doesn't mean I sit in my room all day, I do other interesting things too. Maybe we can do them together!"</p>

<p>I think that would be really cool! Maybe research campus activities and talk about specific ones in your essay that you and your roommate could try together, and maybe talk about how computer programming might affect them (like, don’t trip over my power cord or something).</p>

<p>It could be funny and nice!</p>
