Part One

Choosing A Major ~
I will probably choose a major that incorporates more of an intrapersonal style of communication over a major that would include me sitting in front of a computer by myself all day.

Reading, Writing, Studying ~
Unless I am intensely interested in what I am reading, it is difficult for me to stay focused on a book for too long of a time before my mind becomes fidgety and I want to find something new to do. This also goes for my studying habits; I am not very good at studying for long periods of time. As for writing, when I get really "into" what I am writing about, my tone becomes more passionate and the wording of my phrases will start to sound Shakespearian-esque.

Playing ~
In reference to sports, I am a very forceful player. I was once told by a girl that she actually quit basketball because I guarded her "too well." (I felt kind of bad about that.)

Possible Causes Of Stress ~
I become stressed in situations where there is a lack of communication. If I do not know what to do for an assignment, or if I have a relationship "problem" that has yet to be addressed, there is not much that I can do to attempt to remedy anything, and I get anxious.

Dealing With Conflict ~
I deal with conflict verbally. If there is something wrong, I prefer for the problem to be addressed straight to the person it involves and for it to keep being talked through until a conclusion is drawn.

Part Two
Communication Strategies

I don't really have any one person in my life who I would like to improve my communication with, but I could broaden my scope and say that I would like to communicate more and better with all of the girls on my floor.
The girls all have very different "codes;" there are many extroverts on our floor (Crowder 500 has been known to be extroverted), but there are also some introverts, and even some secret introverts! Communication between the girls has been kind of crazy due to girls simply being girls.
My code compares to a lot of the girls' codes because we all like to be outgoing and have a good time, but in contrast, not everyone understands why others do things as well as some understand it.
I can begin to adapt to these many different communication styles to improve my relationship with them by simply sitting back and listening to the girls rather than throwing in my thoughts and opinions all of the time. In fact, that is a specific "something" that I will probably do differently.
