Socially group work is often praised. With phrases like “two heads are better than one”, team work seems like the most logical choice for a project. This has not been my experience at Florida State University. When faced with the prospect of another involuntary group project I imagined many possibilities and outcomes.

I struggled with communicating the urgency of completing the project to the rest of the group and not annoying everyone on the group chat.
