Dear stranger (but hopefully future roomie),
Are you looking for someone that:
Sees you only at night when they are going to sleep?
Thrives being taciturn?
Unnerves you on the eve of your exams?
Doesn’t tell Moroccan fairy tales each night?
Yowls while sleeping?
Abhors lending you their clothes?
Never nibbles on snacks and won’t bring you Moroccan cookies?
Doesn’t ask you to go for a walk on campus?
Fidgets when you need help?
Uproots a spider they cross without asking you for help?
Not ready to sing with you if you play Beyonce’s songs?
Don’t fret if you said no to all of the above. That just means we are the perfect match because I am the opposite of everything I described above! It would be my great pleasure to introduce you to the person with whom you will not just share a room, but also have unforgettable moments. Be ready to spend nights laughing–it is not my fault if I keep you up all night with my jokes. Words cannot express how excited I am to find out what makes you, you! I’ve cleverly hidden our theme within my note. In case you didn’t notice, reread the first letter of each line.
P.S: It may be difficult for you to say the “kh” in my name, especially if you don’t speak Arabic or Spanish. So feel free to call me Yara.
