2A- Bug List

Bug List

1.  McDonald's on W. University Ave. has a large presence of homeless people. (McDonald's is an inexpensive fast food chain and the restaurant lacks security so homeless people tend to ask students for food/money.)
2. A very long line tends to develop from Farrior Hall during Add/Drop Week. (During Add/Drop week, many students need advising help when arranging their academic schedule. When a mass amount of students show, the students are not being helped enough, or there simply may not be enough employees to see students at an efficient pace.)
3. Chomp-It Line is always long in the racquet club dining center. (There is usually one worker taking care of the cash registers instead of two, which can slow down the ordering process and weaken efficiency.)
4. The intersection near Plaza of Americas (Union Rd and Newell Dr) often becomes backed up. (This happens during transitioning times between classes. Tons of students flood out of the library and adjacent buildings, causing buses and cars to wait for students to cross.)
5. The fire exit for my form in Murphree Hall is not the safest. (I live in Murphree Hall which is a historically significant dorm. Being one of the first built for campus, it doesn't exactly follow modern regulations. I am on the fourth floor, and the only way out is going down the four flights of stairs, which can be dangerous if a fire spreads below me.)
6. My roommate's schedule is much earlier than mine. (This means I have to be quiet at night, and I sometimes wake up early from his alarms.)
7. There was an employee sale for the bookstore I mistakenly thought was for students. (I once received an email for a sale in the bookstore right before Christmas, planning to make use of it to buy memorabilia as gifts, I realized too late that in small text it stated it was for staff and workers.)
8. My four instruments take up a lot of room in my dorm. (My two electric guitars, acoustic guitar, and bass guitar all sit on stands in the corner of my room, as I am not allowed to hang them on the wall instead.)
9. My phone charger near my bed doesn't work anymore. (The charger probably got pinched and was destroyed over time from usage for a year.)
10. My bed sheet always comes off one of the corners. (The bed sheet is not the right size for the mattress and thus becomes lifted often.)
11. The Student Rec Gym is too busy most nights. (Many students exercise in the evening after classes are done, as such, everyone goes at the same time and the gym is not large enough.)
12. CSE-A101 has the worst desks of all time. (I once took a microeconomics exam in this lecture hall and found the desks to be incredibly too small to use. They were designed this way to fit as many students into an area for a testing environment as possible.)
13. My guitar amp is too loud to use in my dorm. (The high wattage amp is too loud to be used above a low setting because it would disturb my roommates.)
14. My laptop disconnects from the UF WiFi every time it goes to sleep. (Could be a problem with my laptop's PCIe chip or a miscommunication between UF and my laptop.)
15. My TV was not working last semester. (Apparently, when using Coaxial Cables you must manually search frequencies to find channels.)
16. My car is always parked very far from my dorm. (Since I am a freshman, my parking sticker places me at distant parking lots.)
17. Traffic in Gainesville is often atrocious. (There is a lot of people in Gainesville due to the population of Gainesville and of UF students and staff.)
18. The parking lot outside my dorm gets blocked off during Football Game days. (The lots are very close to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, so fans use the lots to tailgate.)
19. Parking Spaces are very small on campus. (In order to fit as many spaces as possible, the University has small parking spaces leaving chances of door dings and parking accidents.)
20. My pen smears on my notes. (The ink of my pen and my paper don't seem to mix well as the ink dries in a slower fashion than normal.)

Reflection:

This assignment has forced me to look at problems in the world and ask "why?" I found the bug list was rather hard to use in the beginning, I could barely come up with one. Then I decided to just subconsciously think about the bug list while out on campus. In doing so, I have managed to fit the bug list into my daily life, hoping to inspire me to take action. This is a necessary skill for an Entrepreneur and one I hope to master.
