In this journal reflect on yourself in a specific conflict that you are involved in (big or small doesn't matter). Can you look at your own choices and behaviors and reflect on them, or analyze them in light of what you have learned this semester in the course? What insight do you have about yourself in conflict that you did not have before you took this course?
I was so excited for college, I was going to get an awesome roommate and we were going to be best friends. When I found out her name was Sarah my heart leapt. My best friend from high school's name was Sarah. Once I met my roommate she was nothing like my best friend. For some reason when I met her I assumed she would be just like my best friend and she wasn't. This let me down and then little things that really weren't bothersome were annoying to me. I think my assumption caused some problems at first. Things are probably deescalating but at it's worst we were never really mean to each other. We were both a little erritating and didn't communicate enough. I wish we had filled out the sheet like we were suggested to do. But we didn't and then we both had different ideas for what a roommate should be. Luckily break is coming and after some time apart we can talk things out and make sure the outcome is a positive one.
Looking back I think I need to communicate better with my roommates and peers in order to maintain a positive relationship.
