Reflection: I had
some difficulty creating my bug list in that there were more things that I
found other people do that were annoying than problems within my daily life
that created a bug. While this may seem like blaming others for my bug, I found
that this is common. I also found that the “why” can lead to ideas for solving
these bugs.
Your list of bugs are very relatable, and as I was reading some of them, I noticed myself agreeing with you and wishing I had mentioned them on my list. The slow wi-fi on campus made me so angry when I lived in my dorm. You would think being on campus, closer to the routers, would make your connection stronger. I definitely feel your pain. Good job!
ReplyDeleteDrew, I can relate to a lot of bugs about Gainesville that you listed. As a person who spent ample time in springs dorm, I know the pain of the failed laundry machines and the slow wifi. I also agree that figuring out the why your bug exists can help you solve your bugs. Finding the source is the key to solving the problem.
ReplyDeleteThe list of bugs you made are very relatable to the average UF student. I also had to deal with a room mate who snored very loudly, it was awful. I also understand the pain of having to wait on line for machines in south west, but the most relatable bug had to have been the fire drills. The worst thing I have experienced as a student at UF.
ReplyDeleteHey Drew,
ReplyDeleteYour bug list is very relatable for any student at the University of Florida, especially the ones that had to live at Springs. I loved at Springs during my freshman summer semester and even back then everything was horrible. I too found a lot of issues with other people being my bugs opposed to everyday objects or inconveniences.
