reflection: I found it quite difficult finding 20 bugs to write about because I tend to overlook the bugs that I see in my daily life and look at the positives in my life as opposed to the negatives.

  1. Ethan, I actually had the same air conditioning problem as you last year in my old apartment. It was absolutely brutal however I was able to get a window unit which was perfectly fine! We have some bugs in common like the clicking pens and when people are messy. However you do have some interesting bugs I have never even thought about!

  2. Ethan, as a fellow student I experience a lot of these problems similar to you and I like your take on them and why they are around. I didn't look at it from that perspective such as UF overpacking their class to utilize their professors. For your #19 bug, I agree that is a bug but I feel like you should be able to work at your own pace instead of the professors because it's not your fault if you understand the material faster and want to get ahead.
