I Need ConversationAs a college student, you need to find time to study and complete your assignments.
However, the rest of your life continues as if you have not just gotten busier.
For example, a student, Tammy, was pursuing her masters degree. Because her
husband had supported her when she earned her bachelors degree, she thought that
circumstances would be the same during her masters degree; however, it did not
happen that way. She still did all the cooking, all the grocery shopping, and she was
having trouble trying to finish her homework with the kids running around. Finally,
frustrated, she blew up at her husband. After she calmed down and they really talked to
each other, her husband shared that he thought that because she had already earned a
degree, she knew what to do and would not need any help. Tammy shared that it was
because her husband supported her by taking over some of the things Tammy normally
did that she was able to complete her first degree.
Families (support systems) may not intuitively know what the college student needs.
Tammy was self-advocating, having the I need conversation with her husband. In her
case, she needed a quiet area to study four times a week for two hours, help with the
kids during study time, and some help with cooking and cleaning when projects were
due. She found that by sharing what she needed, her family (support system) understood
her needs and were better able to meet them.

when they help you to meet your needs while you are a college student? Also, be ready
to answer questions your support person may have for you.
Third, during the I need conversation, pay
attention to the verbal and nonverbal cues
your partner is giving you. Be able to interpret those signals appropriately so you have a
