Assignment 12: Katie Chen

Dear Future College Roommate,

First things first: I like to live in an organized mess. Unlike most people, who need to have everything perfectly spotless all the time, I really don’t mind a mess. Don’t get me wrong, I can appreciate a well-organized room as much as the next person, it’s just that having a mess around doesn’t bother me as much. Not an overly horrendous mess where nothing can be found, but not completely and meticulously organized either. A nice happy medium. For example, on my desk, a quick glance and it looks like a tornado swept across it. However, I have my system. Although papers are strewn all across the surface, there is an order. The middle part of the desk is clear so I have space to do work. The upper left corner is filled with blank pages to do scratch work on, and the upper right corner is stacked with old binders and notebooks. So if that annoys you and you feel the need to constantly pick up after me, apologies in advance.

                                              Yours Truly,

                                                   Katie Chen
