ROOMMATES
One of the things I am most looking forward to about starting college is the opportunity to experience the social aspect of dormitory living with my fellow students. Generally, I have always enjoyed the company of friends and some of the most rewarding experiences in that regard have been the casual conversations that develop between us in general, and outside of the distractions of specific activities. On the other hand, sharing hobbies and projects is also extremely fulfilling and has often inspired close friendships as well. One example I can think of is the time last name of month that a few of my friends and I had a stressful day at the Lycee Saint-Louis, and went to a nearby cafe to relax with an adaptation of a commercial computer game, Snake, configured for a multi-user setting. Pretty soon, our gathering there became more intense and serious, and within a month, we developed Multi-Snake, a multiplayer version of the game. By May, we had 200 users of "Multi-snake" on a Facebook group we created for the game.
The other passion that I hope to share with my roommates at Stanford is my interest in music. I enjoy all genres of music and consider sharing music to be a fantastic way of getting to know one another and of being introduced to one another's interests. I also play the piano and would be happy to assume the position of official morning alarm clock for the suite, assuming that everybody else would appreciate that. As a considerate person, I also realize that my opportunities to play the piano and to enjoy music more generally will always be subject to issues of mutual consideration in a shared-living environment. That is something that I am certain is one of the most important determinants of the success of college dormitory living arrangements and I am confident about my anticipated role with respect to that responsibility.
