Bug List

Week 2

1. Every time its cold during the spring in Gainesville my scooter struggles to start or needs repair and its a major inconvenience and expense that I cannot afford.

          If a scooter is not used for some time its battery will die or carburetor will need fixing. Also in the cold, sitting gas can turn to slush which damages the vehicle.

2. THERE IS NO PARKING IN GAINESVILLE. I refuse to pay $100 a month for a spot like my roommates so I bought street parking in which I usually find parking two miles away from my apartment, and therefore do not use my car.

         Gainesville knows the demand for parking is much greater than the supply and they can therefore rip off us students.

3. My roommate loves our apartment to be 74 degrees however I always change it back to 76 degrees because its a perfect temperature and saves us money on utilities.

         She has grown up in a wealthier family than mine and that is the temperature she is accustomed to.

4. My roommates do laundry about every day which is unnecessary and drives up our utility bill.

         They are used to doing laundry constantly at home where they grew up while I am not.

5. They are so over staffed at my workplace, Dough Religion, that you are lucky to get scheduled once every two weeks.

         Dough Religion is overstaffed.

6. Ladies night at Fats ends at 11 or until the bar tab runs out, and it is frustrating to arrive at 10pm and free drinks are already over.

          So many students enjoy this night that it gets packed early. I am also cheap and do not like paying for drinks.

7. Traffic is always a pain.

          I am impatient.

8. My hair clogs my shower drain and I have to apply Drain-O.

          I shed too much hair and should dispose of it elsewhere. I also have a weak ad small drain.

9. Oxford Terrace allows one parking spot per four person apartment and our spot is in between a huge column and wall/line of scooters. I have scrapped both sides of my car on multiple occasions.

          The only other option I have is to pay an insane monthly fee like my roommates for an alternative spot, or park miles away with street parking.

10. Sometimes our sorority meals are really gross so I just make rice and eggs at home.

          I can be a picky eater.

11.  My boyfriend goes to USF and it bugs me when he begs me to visit him when I do not want to. I love visiting him don't get me wrong, just not as often as he'd like me to.

          It makes me feel obligated to visit him and I feel bad/kind of guilty.

12. Technology always changes and is improved so fast that I can hardly keep up. I am so technologically challenged and find myself in the Heavener IT room too often.

           I know that I can watch a youtube tutorial video or take a class to improve my technological skills but I am too impatient and would rather an expert solve the problem quickly rather than learning to do it for myself.

13. It bugs me when I miss watching the Bachelor because I do not have recording and have to wait a week to watch the episode I missed.

           Again, another bug involving my impatience.

14. It bugs me when my older sister both steals my clothes and lies about it when I ask if she has them.

          It bugs me because when my favorite pants go missing I would at least like to be comforted and know where they are.

15. It really bugs me when I have a drink with a straw and someone asks for a sip. I feel rude saying no but I won't drink out of a straw after someone else has.

         I am slightly a germaphobe.

16. Often I am in the middle of an assignment or Netflix show and my internet will cut out.

        This bothers me because it will ruin the momentum I have while typing or taking a quiz and I have to stop and wait to reconnect with the internet.

17. It is frustrating when I host a party and say it starts at 9:00 and most people do not show up until 10:45. Being fashionably late has become too late.

        It bugs me because I am just sitting there waiting. It also makes the party end way later than I would like it to.

18. For some reason it really bothers me that my close friends I grew up went go to college and only continue to hangout with each other, majority of whom are at FSU.

        I think making new friends and connections is what college is all about.


19. It bugs me how easily my lips get chapped in cold weather.

        I always lose my chapsticks and my lips hurt because they are so dry.

20. Its extremely frustrating that our apartment is four stories up.

        It makes carrying heavy grocery items home a pain. We also dread the climb coming home from work already exhausted.


I did not find it very challenging to come up with 20 "bugs." However, after I finished writing them, I was immediately in a bad mood from listing and thinking about so many complaints. I can see how it would be hard to come up with 20 bugs because most people, including myself, tend to be more positive and look passed these bugs and at the positive things that happen throughout every day life.
