Reflection:
Before this assignment, I didn’t realize that I had so many things that bugged me .
This list took me some time to figure out because I’m not used to see life from this perspective.
One of the most difficult challenges I had with this list was the fact that I kept forgetting which problems
I had during a day. Because some of the problems of this list can be solved easily, they are easy to forget.
Another challenge I faced with this assignment was the amount of bugs I had to think about in my life.
I’ve always had problems in my life but having to write twenty of them and then think of why they exist
is a totally different experience. In the end, I learned that many of the problems that I face in my daily
life can be easily solved if I start by thinking about why they exist. Which is the main purpose
of this assignment.

I really loved all the points you made, these are definitely things that bug me to no end. However, I wish you were more specific with some of your bugs. For example, you could explain WHY having to take tests at 8 p.m. bothers you rather than just blatantly saying that it does. I'm glad you reached the conclusion that many of your daily problems can be solved when you look at them from a different point of view and I hope you continue to think like this.
