Curiosity aroused while I was filing my housing app for the college. I once saw a work survey, so I was inspired...

The application itself had a drop-down menu - I will add some of those choices and "Others" for non-conformists.

I would generally describe myself as:
laid-back/outgoing/quiet/others

I like to live in a room that is generally:
casual (not too neat but not too disorganized)/neat/not neat/others

I plan to use my room for:
studying/relaxing & hanging out/a place for friends/a place to sleep only/others

I plan to have friends visit:
never/not often/sometimes/quite often

I study best:
morning, before class/afternoon/night, after class

When studying I generally prefer (Studying with):
alone with music or TV/with another person/no music or TV! I need quiet!/others

I prefer the sound level in my room:
not too loud, not too quiet/high-energy , many friends and music and tv on!/quietude!

The best way to approach me about an issue is to:
by appointment (;D)/face-to-face/write a note/others

The relationship I foresee having with my roommate(s) is:
I don't know!/just existing peacefully?/hoping to be good friends and do things together/others

When it comes to sharing items with my roommate I plan to:
share none/share basics/share everything, such as clothes!/others

I am usually in bed:
(Whatever you want)

In the morning I am usually up:
(Whatever you want)

My first roommate in college gave me such a bad habit. I use to always press the snooze button once and then get up. He would let his alarm ring for an hour before he would get up. Now I have a habit of hitting snooze alot. But I notice the better my life is going the less I need snooze. But seriously he would lie there sleeping with his alarm going off for an hour. Great guy, wanted to kill him for that.

My first roommate in college was a nutjob had been abused at home; he would answer the door to our room with a drawn knife... he used to jump up and flail at the occassional cockroach with a bullwhip, and played nonsensical rock music day and night.

But, by the end of our Senior year, he had turned into a great guy... still is.

You just never know.
