1) The Bugs
1* The long "driveway" from my apartment to the street is super dark at night
2* There arent too many markets near the hospital for students to buy from
3* Metro Diner on Sundays is always packed
4* Many apartments dont come with utilities included
5* Starbucks is very overpriced with even their simplest items
6* Some microwaves have the most annoying finishing sounds
7*There is way too many people at the gym.
8*There is too much traffic on Archer Road.
9* There isnt enough movie theaters around town.
10* Maintenance takes too long to come and complete complaints
11*The caps on water and electricity are a bit too low
12* There isnt a way to check if you are close to pass the utility caps
13*Healthy foods are too expensive
14*The walk to campus is a little too long
15* There isnt enough recycling bins in my apartment complex
16* Not enough places open 24/7
17*Bathtubs are too small for bigger people
18* Taxes take a lot of money out of paychecks
19* It is too hot to be northern Florida
20* It is very hard to get the smell of cigarettes or pets out of carpets
2) Why the bugs exist
1* There are no lights or illumination along the road
2* City planning was done differently for this area
3* There isnt enough Metro Diners around the area
4* It may be difficult or overly expensive to get an agreement with utility companies
5* Starbucks corporate people think that a brand being well known makes them special enough to raise prices
6* It exists to not let people forget that their food is done in the microwave
7* Everyone is still doing their New Year's Resolutions about getting fit.
8* It is a main road with a lot of businesses and houses on it
9* I guess college students just dont have enough time to go to the movies
10* There isnt enough maintenance people that are hired or they are too lazy or have too many orders
11* To be able to charge people for using up too much when they say that utlilities are included
12* Possibly because it would be rather hard to keep track of this constantly
13* It takes longer to prepare and to grow
14* because real estate is very expensive
15* There may not be the correct facilities or regulations in place to ease this process
16* Businesses may not be profitable after a certain time
17* Larger bathtubs may not fit in the bathrooms
18* Taxes are needed to help pay for other things
19* Global warming is making this happen
20* Carpet is just a very clingy material to work with and to live with.
3) Reflection
I found that after the initial ten or so bugs, it became quite hard to notice inconveniences in everyday life, because we are already used to them or we have learned to overcome them. Once you get into like the second or third week of doing the same things, you get blinders over your eyes in seeing what happens differently in the world around you. Some of the bugs i had came from just following my roommate around his classes for a day. I noticed quite a few things that would bug me, but that he just took as normal.
