Reflection:

I struggled writing this list due to the fact that I am a person who usually accepts flaws and doesn't directly try to change them for the better. However, when I sat down and started listing things throughout my day that annoyed me, it was pretty easy to pick up on these "bugs." I definitely see the benefit of being aware of your daily surroundings, the good and the bad. Once I listed the "bug" down I found it was also easier to develop and brainstorm solutions for the particular "bug."
