The Invisible "Bugs" in my Life
Many days we go about life not noticing the little details. I like to think about the invisible problems that exist in our every day routines. Here is a list of some of those “bugs” I find in my life:
- How salsa in bowls/cups spill out when you try to get some
- Having to tie shoelaces constantly throughout the day
- Waking up to an alarm on my phone
- Not being able to be more productive on your way to work/school
- No one being social on my bus drive in the morning
- How sports figures gain a bigger paycheck then every day American heroes
- Filling up my car with gas weekly
- Not being able to go to sleep because of looking at screens all day
- Not being able to make an income
- Public transportation specifically the bus I take every morning
- A better way to find roommates
- Having to go buy groceries weekly
- Social media and how it effects the way we perceive each other
- Not being able to manage time effectively
- Charging electronic devices
- Waiting for my car to warm up in the morning when it is cold
- My head phone ear buds falling out when I wear them around my neck
- Bringing in dirt and mud into my house when I walk through the grass in my neighborhood
- Coming home late and not being able to walk to my room because it is too dark
- Getting out of bed to turn on my lamp in the morning
Now I will describe why these “bugs” exist in my life:
- There is no edge or rim on most bowls and cup you put salsa into
- With a shoelace I do not always tie them perfect
- The alarm on my phone is not always reliable and able to wake me up
- I have to drive my car so this prohibits me from using my laptop and phone
- Everyone is on their phones and has headphones in
- Sports bring in an enormous amount of money while fire fighters/cops daily activities are unseen
- My car is not electric and is not powered by something other than gas
- Blue light prohibits the natural production of melatonin in your body
- I do not have time to work a typical job with the timing of my classes
- I have to get to campus and cannot park near the architecture building because of certain decals required
- I have had problems with my roommates for the past two years because I could not meet them in person before
- I must eat and my refrigerator only has enough room to store a weeks worth of food
- Everyone has telephones nowadays
- My schedule for school does not allow me to think about the week ahead
- Electronic devices only have a certain capacity for battery storage
- The fluid in my car gets too cold
- The earbuds are interchangeable and not customized to my specific ear
- My doormat does not get all of the dirt off my shoes
- There are no guiding lights or light switches right next to the door
- My lamp does not have bluetooth setting
Creating this list was quite difficult. I feel that there are many distractions in my daily life that prohibit me from unearthing the fine details that bother me every day. I am also used to my routine and I subconsciously get comfortable with these problems. Breaking my routine I think would be the first step in finding more problems that cause these little hardships in my life and the life of others.

ReplyDeleteHi Baron! I enjoyed reading your bug list. I especially relate to the struggle of having to charge electronic devices. In order to prevent my devices from losing charge too quickly, I have invested in a phone case with an attached battery that lasts for several hours. However, this does not solve the same issue I have with my laptop and other devices.
