This was a pretty challenging list to come up with which is surprising since I spent a lot of time complaining on my snapchat for a while. Guess I'm kind of over it at this point, or maybe I'm so jaded it doesn't faze me 🤔🤔🤔hmm.

In all seriousness this assignment took way longer than I expected it would take. It took mental gymnastics to figure out individual, relatable experiences that weren’t overly simple such as people eating with their mouth open, or children crying.

 Coming up with explanations was sometimes more challenging than the bug itself as we rarely think to go the step beyond of going deeper into the cause of said problem. It was interesting to make myself do the extra work do go a layer beneath the surface and see another dimension to the problem. I look forward to continuing my growth and development as an entrepreneurial thinker.
