To The Next Unfortunate Soul
  Dear Future Roommate,
  I apologize in advance for my failures as a roommate. I’ve tried many times, but it never works out well for the other person. I’ve always felt terrible for the people I lived with.
  But, maybe this time will be different. Maybe it’s a good idea to tell you a little about what you’ll be facing.
  Survival Tip 1:
  Don’t judge a book by its cover, or your first impression.
  I might look like a quiet, shy Asian girl, but I’m not. You’ll learn in time.
  Survival Tip 2:
  Be ready for anything at night.
  I do a lot at night: eat, sleep, exercise, study, practice violin, etc. There just isn’t enough time in the day! My workaholic nature pushes me to do everything, even if it’s 1am.
  Survival Tip 3:
  Be ready for anything during the day.
  I’m crazy. In a good way. I love singing and dancing even with my limited talents. I also love talking. I hope that we’ll have many quality conversations and become really close. I’m also learning how to do many strange things: a cartwheel, the splits, frisbee throws, breakdancing... Hopefully you’ll want to try new things with me.
  Survival Tip 4:
  Don’t try to stop me. Unless it’s going to kill me, then yes please.
  I try hard at everything. Literally. I push myself and I’ll be doing the same for you.
Hopefully things work out and I haven’t scared you off already. I look forward to meeting you soon!
