To My Roommate,

First off: I am so excited that we are living together. We look alike (you may be my long-lost twin), we think alike (that shared love of coffee, country music, crocs, and coloring); we're a great pair, and I know it's going to be an amazing year for both of us. We've been texting for months, but - with the crazy that is freshmen orientation - haven't had too much time to talk face-to-face. So, I'll fill you in now - here's a list of a few things you might want to know.

1) I could sleep through a literal hurricane.

2) I'm a neat freak, so I hope you don't mind me straightening up your side of the room.

3) My go-to coffee order is a medium iced, black, with two sugars.

4) A cold room > a hot room.

5) I've already seen every episode of Grey's Anatomy, but we can watch it again. And again. And again.

6) I talk about my dogs 150% of the time.

7) Community service is a major part of my college experience.

8) You might need to push me out of my bed for 8am classes.

9) I'm very quiet, but I'm not shy.

10) Please borrow my clothes. I brought too many.

11) Remind me to call home once in a while, because I might forget to.

12) My favorite colors are purple and navy blue.

13) I'm so excited for campus events, and I hope you are too!

14) When I'm stressed out, I pace to clear my head (so don't mind me).

15) My favorite season is Christmas, and our dorm will be decked out.

16) I monogram basically everything I own.

17) I break my iPhone charger a lot, so I might need to borrow yours.

18) You are more than welcome* to come to family dinners at my grandma's house.

19) I love Mondays (and I'm not being sarcastic).

20) We will watch all the Disney movies.

21) I've lived in this community my whole life, so fee free to ask me for suggestions about what to do off-campus.

22) I'm always down for Dominoes.

23) We are getting a pet fish. End of story.

24) I love playing cards and board games!

25) I am always here for you. No matter what.
