Up until university, I was never a leader. I would happily follow everyone else, keeping my head down so that I wasn’t noticed. It was easier that way, and required minimal effort on my part. I’ve noticed that since I’ve got to university, I’ve become really bossy.
That’s not to say that I boss people around without doing my fair share of work. If I can see that a group isn’t working out well, I will take the lead and put them in the right direction. I’m more assertive than ever, and the feeling is strange to me. I remember back to the days where the idea of group work made me feel sick because I worried what people would think of me. It’s gotten to the stage now where I just don’t care what they think. I think it changes at university because your grade depends on whether they work or not. Either way, I know that university has changed me a lot. Sometimes I wonder if it’s for the better, because I can be a bit cold when I see someone blatantly avoiding work and deflecting it to someone else.
