<p>I don’t think this is very creative. I understand that it’s an “essay to your roommate” but I don’t think the prompt should be taken so seriously and strictly. You don’t have to talk about things relating to your room. It’s an opportunity to show off some personal, possibly even quirky side of yourself that wouldn’t usually show up in a resume or conventional essay, but to talk about studying, partying, and hygiene just isn’t appealing, unless it is extraordinarily funny. But more power to if you get in.</p>
