<p>If roommates actually could work together within school itself (much like a work setting) maybe this concept of conflict management would be useful. But the extent of such an ideal work setting is too low. </p>
<p>If you and me were to have a conflict right now… I’d wouldn’t want to resolve it. I’d just leave a message, get up, and walk away from my keyboard.</p>
<p>Well, that’s all I have to say… To sum it up, I’d rather spend my time actually talking to people I deem worth talking to (ie professors, colleagues, higher-ups, classroom peers). Close friends and acquaintances appreciate the “instant messages”, :), xoxo, and kthxbais. Roommates have the potential to fall under either category.</p>
