2A: Bug List
1. When my roommates don't take out the trash
Everyone's busy and has a lot going on so sometimes we all forget and it continues to pile up overtime until one of us bites our tongue and does it
2. When UF Financial Aid STILL hasn't put my FAFSA money into my UFOne
The Financial Aid office probably has several people to deal with and since I'm a transfer I'm probably at the bottom of the priority list
3. My water bottle condensation making my desk all wet
Well, water condensation is science, and I could always just use a coaster
4. The fact that my sorority doesn't serve many healthy food options
My sorority definitely caters to the desire of a typical college girl with chicken tenders, pizza, and unhealthy options I don't enjoy putting in my body
5. People who ask to purchase their Guest Ticket at the Student Ticket Office after I've already ran their ticket pick up
People who come to the student ticket office don't necessarily realize what running a pick up is and how complicated this makes my life
6. When no one in the apartment refills the Brita and there isn't any water
We all probably don't realize the Brita is running out of water, and again, get lazy at times
7. When Southwest is so packed you can't even use a piece of equipment
It's the beginning of the year, and just like New Years, I'm sure a bunch of kids are trying to start off the year healthy, hopefully it calms down soon
8. Waiting in line to get into JJ's or Fats all of last week
Whether it was the fact that sorority or fraternity rush had just ended, every kid in Gainesville went out last week
9. My Dad's lack of communication via text but instead via email
He tends to be on his office computer much more often than his phone but I know he sees the text
10. My sister constantly asking me to write essays for her
She's not the brightest in my family and sometimes she asks me to write an essay for her to boost her grade a little
11. Having to walk everywhere on campus
I can't afford a scooter and the bus doesn't run at all times of the day
12. When people at YouFit stare at me as I workout
I guess some people might be trying to learn from me and how I work out but most of the time it's just creepy dudes
13. Publix workers analyzing every single thing I buy and asking me about it
They're probably just bored and looking to start a conversation at work
14. Stop lights that take forever to give you the walk symbol
Most stop lights don't say you can walk until the next light cycle, safety precautions
15. People who take forever to respond to my texts or snapchats
People are probably busy or the fact that texting has become very "overrated" for kids my age
16. When my bluetooth headphones randomly disconnect from my phone
They're not necessarily the best quality headphones and maybe I shouldn't keep them on the charger 24/7
17. Having to walk places in the rain
Gainesville, rainesville... it rains all the time in florida, I gotta get used to it
18. My apartments inability to actually fulfill a maintenance request
There are probably a ridiculous amount of maintenance requests being that it's the beginning of the year, too many to handle for them right now
19. Not having a dog to come home to everyday after work, school, etc
I can't afford a dog, my apartment won't let me have a dog, and I probably don't really have time for a dog
20. People who take equipment I'm clearly using at the gym
I guess some people might not realize I'm using it or they're just selfish
I definitely found making this bug list difficult, because if i'm being entirely honest, I didn't necessarily love sharing what bothers me, and not that many things bother me in my life. I found myself kind of "bs"ing some things that bother me, because I'd honestly consider myself a pretty positive person who shakes most of these things off pretty fast. Honestly, the only thing on here that really bothers me is the fact I haven't received my financial aid package yet ....


Hello Kasey, after reading all of your bug list I have to say that I do find most of them really annoying. Its interesting to see how other people express about what bugs them, and to see how related are they to me. In addition, I found this assignment really challenging too since its difficult to think all of the things that bug you when nothing is happening at the moment. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you when you spoke about walking in Gainesville in the rain but sometimes the traffic is too bad it's faster to walk. The traffic in Gainesville on SW 20th Ave is horrible during rush hour. The traffic lights take a long time to change also. That is one bug that really bothers me. Yesterday at around 4:00 I was going to pick up some food on University Drive and I felt as if I could have walked faster with all the traffic lights and cars on the road. Overall, your post was very relatable and I agreed with a lot of it.
ReplyDeleteHey Kasey, I noticed that a lot of people are finding the gyms to be too packed this time of year. You and Nicolas have written that as a bug. In terms of entrepreneurial ventures it seems something with gyms might be popular with students. I also noticed the constant rain in Gainesville is also a big problem for many students. This I can especially agree on as I always want to wash my car but it always ends up raining. Other than that I find your bugs to be interesting. Keep up the work!
ReplyDeleteHey Kasey!
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well, and that your semester is going good! You did a great job on this assignment - I find many of your bugs quite annoying too. I agree with your thought that it was difficult to complete the assignment, especially because of how positive you say you are. Your comment about the gym is so relatable - that happened to me literally yesterday, and the girl only used it for one set. And also, I agree with the financial aid comment - can't wait until that comes in! Great post!
