Essay on Self
I am, I believe, an average college student who is in average classes and just does what an everyday college student does.

She doesn’t mess with my things without asking, and she is quiet when I am sleeping. I couldn’t have asked for a better roommate.

Overall, Ashton is someone that everyone should want in his or her life. You can always count on her for a smile everyday.” She knows me better than most people so I have to trust that what she says is true. The
