When I first decided to join this CDS, I had a few things running in my head, thinking, what if I do not get along with my new roommates? This is the main challenge that has been boggling me for quite awhile. It was hard for me to warm up to strangers, and now I have to live with these strangers for two weeks. One of the main reasons why I do not get along with some people is because we have different personalities and this will lead to conflicts and differences, even over the simplest things, for example, we have differences over what kind of food we should eat. Or perhaps having different opinions to a matter, which will also result in another conflict and make everyone in the household unhappy.
Another challenge would be not getting used to living somewhere outside my home as an independent person as I think I am a sheltered individual, used to having my needs met by my parents and relatives. As such, I am afraid that my roommates will think of me as a “spoilt child” when in fact it is due to my inexperience. Furthermore, I am afraid that I will commit stupid mistakes like not knowing how to do the household chores properly because I have not gotten much experience doing so.
