Bugs!

  1. When I was organizing campus for a local election, most students expressed that they didn’t care about voting because it doesn’t affect them, even though it affects them the most…this bug exists because many students don’t know about the importance of local government 
  2. The light from the streetlamp outside my apartment still gets into my room waking me up in the middle of the night, even though I have blackout curtains. This is because of the angle and placement of my window 
  3. During the summer, it is almost impossible for me to see an advisor on campus. This bug exists because of the overwhelming number of preview students that need initial advising appointments
  4. When I put on mascara in the morning I always get it on my eyelid because of the shape of the wand.
  5. I can never find a hair tie when I need one, yet I can always find several when I do not. This is because I am a mess
  6. The restaurant “Just Salad” serves more than just salad! They serve avocado toast which is not salad. They do this because avocado toast is delicious and a fast seller. However, the title is extremely inaccurate 
  7. It bugs me when people go by their middle name when they have a perfectly good first name. They do this because they probably like that name better.
  8. I dislike the smell of sponges after I do dishes. I also dislike doing dishes but I understand that it’s just one of those things that has to get done. But the smell, which is probably some sort of chemical reaction, is one of my least favorite things 
  9. I dislike the fact that some people refuse cultural sensitivity and refuse to do very simple things such as respect a person’s pronouns. This probably occurs because of ingrained beliefs, but the lack of concern for another person’s preference makes me seriously frustrated.
  10. Every time I make spaghetti, I can never drain enough of the water out of the pot. This makes the noodles wet and has a horrible consistency, even when I add sauce.
  11. There is never enough parking in Norman…during my internship when I still lived on campus, I had to wake up at 6am to move my car in order to not get ticketed. I literally did not sleep for the entire fall semester.
  12. My computer constantly gives me alerts for spam email because I randomly subscribed to retail emails for coupons
  13. My phone crashes every time I attempt to connect Spotify to my car, most likely due to a technological error because I hate updating my phone
  14. I get extremely annoyed when people chew loudly. It is probably just the way they eat
  15. I hate when people forget to recycle. It is probably something people forget to do out of habit.
  16. It annoys me when people do not put on their turn signal on when they drive! They do it because they are bad drivers.
  17. When people interrupt my stories, I get annoyed because it is simply rude.
  18. It annoys me when I am unable to carry all my groceries at Trader Joes in a small hand cart. It gets too heavy and I get sad.
  19. It bugs me when there are bugs in my house. This is because I live in Florida and it is summer.
  20. It annoys me when I can’t find the clasp on my necklace because it’s extremely small.

This assignment was not too difficult for me, however many of the bugs I first thought of had to do with people and human nature. It would be quite difficult to innovate my way out of those.

  1. Hi! You did a great job listing out things that bug you and effectively answered why they happen, as well as including a reflection. You put really good effort into each step of the assignment and it turned out really well. The post was completed well and organized in a way that made it easy to read and entertaining as well. Good job!
