Reflection/ Challenges with coming up with the Bug List: 

As stated in the video professor Pryor posted, you can't just do this assignment all at once because it is hard to come up with these things. However, jotting them down as I go through my day was a lot easier and I was able to come up with things that bugged me and reasons why they exist. Although it was hard to think about the bugs throughout the day, living through them was much easier, and I was even able to come up with a few that could be good business ideas. All together, this was a really interesting assignment as it opened my eyes to some things that bug me that I didn't even know about.
