Bug List and Reflection

Bug List

1.       Whenever I go shopping, or am bringing things into my house, there is an obnoxious walk from my car to my room.

a.       This bug exists because there is no room behind the house for all of the people who live there to park. Essentially a lack of parking in the vicinity of the University of Florida.

2.       The Bluetooth on my phone constantly goes in and out whenever I try to use it.

a.       This bug exists because Apple has made their phones so that they start to deteriorate as they get older.

3.       My room gets extremely messy at the end of each week and makes being in my room unbearable until I clean it.

a.       I don’t have the time, will, or space in my room to keep my things in my room organized.  

4.       Whenever I go to the McDonald’s by my house on University Ave. there is always a twenty-minute wait for my food and a crap ton of drunk people yelling inside.

a.       This location has a very unmotivated group of people working there and is located within walking distance of the bars by campus.

5.       During the day the entire campus is flooded with people and I can’t find a relaxing place to study

a.       There are 50,000 people who attend the University of Florida and there are only so many locations to study on campus.

6.       Whenever I go to fill up my water bottle the tube that is connected to the mouth piece always come of and I must get my hand wet to attach it again.

a.       The tube is supposed to stay on by suction and as the bottle gets older the suction begins to wear off.

7.       The air conditioning unit in my room is either spewing out the coldest air imaginable or not doing anything which leads to my room getting stuffy.

a.       My house is old and gross, meaning that the A/C unit in my room is probably thirty years old and completely outdated.

8.       There are a lot of times that I want to go do or buy something but the place I am thinking of is actually closed at the moment.

a.       I have a really bad sleeping schedule which makes me stay up really late, so my days start later than most.

9.       When I’m reading in my bed at night and I am laying down there is never a good amount of light for me to see well.

a.       I read laying down and holding the book in the air so the book blocks the light on the ceiling.

10.   Whenever I have to do laundry at my house I have to walk up two flights of stairs with a huge bin of clothes in order to do so.

a.       The washer and dryers at my house are located on the third floor and I live on the first floor.

11.   The gyms on campus are always extremely crowded and make it super uncomfortable to go there and workout

a.       All of the students on campus are using these facilities because they are free to them. Also, there are a lot of people that make New Year’s Resolutions which makes the gym much more congested than usual.

12.   For some reason I get notifications on Facebook about random people and it makes me angry because I thought that I had an important notification when I didn’t.

a.       I probably did something stupid when I was much younger and created my Facebook that causes these notifications to keep happening.

13.   When I go shopping for shoes and for clothes at retail stores I find it difficult to find my size in most items.

a.       I am much bigger than most people and stores don’t tend to carry the sizes that fit me the best.

14.   Whenever I go to Chic-fil-a and accidentally spill Chic-fil-a sauce on my shirt it leaves a stain that will never come off and completely ruins my shirt.

a.       When I am eating I am usually in a rush and don’t take the time to put napkins all over the place to protect my clothes.

15.   When I drive home for weekends or vacations there are people that drive in the left lane very slowly, sometimes below the speed limit.

a.       People are required to do very little training in order to get their licenses and knowledge on road etiquette varies vastly from driver to driver.

16.   My phone can only get notifications on emails that come from one of my accounts.

a.       I don’t have the knowledge on how to fix the issue that I am facing with my phone.

17.   The top of my car is beginning to rust and the body shop said that there was nothing that I could do for it at this point.

a.       The model of Corolla that I have is prone to having the roof rust and my car is over ten years old.

18.   I have a tendency to lose my socks on a regular basis and it makes me angry whenever I am in a rush to get ready in the morning and I can’t seem to find a sock anywhere.

a.       My room is very messy and unorganized, so finding small objects, like socks, is relatively difficult.

19.   Whenever I decide to go on campus and study for a prolonged period of time, I always bring my chargers, headphones, etc. These wires get tangled in my backpack and the first ten minutes of my study sessions consist of me untangling them.

a.       I have a lot of technology in my backpack and in order to use it I have to carry around accessories that require wires in order to work. The storage that I put them in makes it easy for them to tangle.

20.   Sometimes when I am walking down the street in my dress shoes I will get blisters from the leather rubbing on my heels for long periods of time.

a.       The shoes don’t fit my feet correctly and therefore slide up and down on my ankle leading to the friction.

Reflection

              This process was rather difficult because it made me think long and hard about the things that I do, and use, on a day to day basis. Once I started thinking of things on a very granular level I began to realize the little nuances that piss me off. However, as time went on I just accepted these things and thought that it couldn’t be changed. This mindset is really amazing because it allows you to be open to the idea that things can be changed and don’t have to remain the same for the rest of time. Being able to think analytically and provide improvements for day to day life is one of the coolest things about entrepreneurship.
