My Bug List

1. During busier times of the day, the traffic on Cypress Gardens Blvd is so bad that it has added up to  30 minutes to my ETA.
-This bug exists because of the high volume of cars using the main road in my town at a time.
2. Occasionally, my parents tell me to do things like chores and errands in a rude way, which really does not make me eager to help them out.
-I'm sure that their frustration comes from my relaxed quarantine lifestyle. They tend to think that being generally unproductive is not how I should be spending my time.
3. My sleep schedule has shifted to where I sleep in most days, which shortens my day and decreases my productivity.
-My change in sleep schedule is definitely because of my quarantined state. I am less tired at the end of the day so I stay up later, which results in me sleeping in.
4. Some mornings, I don't have any of my coffee ready so I can't drink it, resulting in a withdrawal headache.
-Sometimes I forget to make my coffee the night before, and since it has to be brewed overnight, there's no way I can make it in the morning.
5. I've been pretty dehydrated lately, which makes my body feel weak and bad.
- I haven't been moving around as much as I normally do at school, so I forget to drink water.
6. Sometimes, people take up more than one parking space.
-This probably happens because people don't park correctly and don't care to fix their mistake.
7. Because of the quarantine, I can't spend time with my boyfriend.
-Both of us are respecting the social distancing guidelines, so we can't see each other in person.
8. The food in the house isn't always what I want to eat.
-When I don't help with the grocery shopping, my family gets food that I don't like.
9. My bathroom isn't always available when I want to use it.
-My sister shares the bathroom with me.
10. I want to exercise but lack the motivation.
-Factors such as sleeping in late and procrastinating affect my motivation.
11. My nail polish gets messed up within a few days after I do it.
-This is probably because of the low quality nail polish I used and the constant use of my hands.
12. There's nothing that I want to watch on Netflix.
-The new shows that they add are unappealing to me.
13. Consistent chores, like laundry and dishes, are tiresome after a while.
-Because dishes and clothes are constantly used, these chores are almost always ready to be done.
14. When I cook, the food doesn't always turn out as good as I imagine.
-This is due to my amateur cooking status and limited experience.
15. I enjoy having a made bed, but making it is tedious.
-Making the bed by myself in the morning takes a lot of time and it never turns out as neat as I want it to.
16. I enjoy making art but sometimes lack the inspiration.
-I think this is because I spend most of my time in my house these days.
17. Sometimes I reach for something in the fridge and the container is empty or nearly so.
-My family members sometimes put containers back like this.
18. Occasionally our Wi-Fi goes out for 10 minutes.
- This might be because of the type of Wi-Fi plan we have.
19. I am bored, yet also overwhelmed with the amount of tasks I have to do.
-This is because not every task I have to do is necessarily interesting.
20. I spend a lot of time and money on online shopping.
-This is because of my boredom and the fact that there are a lot of sales right now.

I think this list was fairly challenging to make. This is because my life is relatively easy, and I am privileged enough to have problems that are trivial and somewhat hard to come by. It's very strange to look at my life with such scrutiny, because I am a pretty optimistic person. However, once I thought of a few bugs and put myself in the problem-seeking mindset, it became easier to identify the small problems in my own life.
