2A Bug List

1. There is never anywhere to sit at UF Libraries during finals season. The reason this exists is because Library West is the only 24/7 library on campus so everyone goes there and it is very crowded and almost impossible to find somewhere to sit.
2. There are too many homeless people loitering around The Standard in Gainesville. The reason this exists is the lack of police in the area and the lack of education that these people are given that there are resources to help with shelter and food.
3. The Miami Marlins play in Miami-Dade county, but the majority of their fans live in Broward and Palm Beach. This makes commutes to the games much longer and decreases overall attendance. The reason this exists is because the Marlins are trying to pander to the local Hispanic audience, but the market has simply not reacted well.
4. My favorite sub shop, Larry’s, is closing down at the end of the semester. The reason this exists is because an apartment building company is buying the land to build more apartments which apparently there is not enough of in Gainesville.
5. Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays. I eat Chick-fil-A all the time, but I can never eat it on Sundays because the restaurant is closed due to the various religious and political beliefs of ownership.
6. Commercials during football games are especially irksome. Sometimes it feels like there is a five to one ratio in terms of commercial time to game time. The reason this exists is the capitalist nature of American sports.
7. The WIFI in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is very spotty and always needs to be reconnected every time. The reason this exists is because in such a large place, it is difficult to establish consistent connection throughout.
8. The fire alarm in my building bugs me. Everytime someone cooks and there is too much smoke, everyone must leave the building. This happens very often and is very disruptive to my day-to-day schedule.
9. The location of Southwest Recreation Center is extremely inconvenient. The gym itself is very nice, but it is not centrally located and the only way for me to get there is by bus which can so long that I end up not having any time to work out.
10. The fact that almost every business class takes up two blocks. I much prefer a one period class more often in the week than a two period class twice a week. The reason this exists is because of scheduling and rooming conflicts within Heavener.
11. The school bus stop in my neighborhood. Whenever the elementary school bus stops in my neighborhood it stops traffic for like 15-20 minutes and everything gets very backed up and congested. The reason this exists is because for whatever reason the bus needs to take up both lanes to ensure the safety of the students.
12. My contact prescription. My contact prescription is so unique that they don’t make daily contacts in it, so I have to buy two-week pairs, This makes the maintenance on them much more tenuous. 
13. The new online-ticketing system for Gator football games. This new system randomizes where everyone sits, whereas, I used to be able to show up to the box office early to get better seats. The reason this exists is to make a more fair system, but no other sports works this way so I do not see the need for it.
14. The fact that Study Edge does their own lectures. I understand using Study Edge as a review supplement, but many people do not go to their actual UF classes and learn through Study Edge alone. In my opinion, I don’t see what the point is in getting a UF degree if you are just going to go to Study Edge. The reason this exists is because UF lectures are very long.
15. The lights on West University Avenue take way too long to change. This leads to a lot of illegal crossing which is very dangerous. The reason this occurs is because West University is a very busy street with a lot of traffic.
16. The advising office at Heavener is way too small. There are 50,000 students at UF with many of them in the business school, waiting for an appointment can take weeks. The reason for this is that UF does not put enough financial resources into its advising office.
17. There are portable chargers for iphones but not my laptop. In today’s age, I am with my phone just as much as my computer but with no way to charge it on the go. The reason this exists is because it takes much more energy to power a laptop than a phone.
18. Sharpening your pencil to the ideal point. Electric sharpeners are great but I never know how long to keep my pencil in there for. A sharpener that stopped automatically would be awesome. The problem here is that the technology doesn't exist apparently.
19. The Ubers are gameday are incredibly expensive, which seems like price gouging to me. There needs to be a cheaper option for students so that they are not constantly taken advantage of by an unfair system. The reason this exists is because Uber sees an opportunity to make more money off of people’s needs.
20. The graduate students at UF participate in the same Intramural leagues as undergraduates. This means that 18 year olds might be playing basketball against 30 year olds. This doesn’t seem fair to me and the problem exists because of a lack of organization from UF rec sports.

Reflection: This assignment was rather difficult as I had to look at the world from a different perspective. In order to discover different bugs, I basically went through my daily routine in my mind and pointed the several, small things that seemed to annoy or bug me. It really took me some time to think about the nuisances that bothered me and why they exist. For the most part, they existed because of a lack of effort to correct them.
