Bug List

1. The buses that Gainesville uses have confusing numbering, especially any of the single and double digit buses.
1. I haven’t cared enough to read the entire list of buses so numbering may never make sense to me while I remain ignorant to the whole system.
2. Fresh Food Company only makes good food for the Students on preview and the IA students who still need to eat get scraps.
1. I got tricked into paying money for a service that isn’t up to the same standard that I was previously given.
3. The skate park at UF is lacking in basic parts of a normal park, additionally there are pieces that are so old and run-down that they just take up space.
1. Skating has been on a downward trend since the 90’s and there are better places for the money to be spent.
4. The washing machines at Beaty Towers are expensive, as well as not even capable as providing a decent wash.
1. The machines are old, but not old enough to warrant purchasing new ones.
5. The closest library near me closes too early for it to be useful to be, so I have to walk to Marston to do anything in a library.
1. Marston isn’t really that far and my room isn’t that bad of a place to study.
6. Fresh Food company can’t cook rice correctly, it’s always undercooked.
1. They have to feed a large number of students, to expect them to cook everything well at that scale is unreasonable.

1. The need the crisp outside and soft inside, a microwave doesn’t crisp the outside, and an oven can only do so much.
13. I have to use snapchat in order to coordinate my study groups.
1. Snapchat is a horrible chatting client but it’s the most popular app in my age group so it’s the one that gets used.

20. Messy dorm rooms make my feel gross for being near their rats nest.
1. People get lazy with their living space and don’t feel the need to clean as thoroughly as me or my roommates.

Refection

I found this difficult because I could get annoyed with something but not really understand in a concise way why it made me as annoyed as it did. This assignment had me questioning why things that annoy me do so in the first place. I had plenty of gripes that I deleted simply because I couldn’t answer the simple question of WHY.

Additionally, not all of my gripes can be solved through a new innovation from a single entrepreneur. Rather they are systemic issues on the part of the university that can only be substituted with third party companies. Unless some form of consultation counts, if it is that may just be my goal for this class.
