2A- Bug List

After going through and thinking of things that bug me in life, I have decided to include the following 20 bugs, why they occur, and how I can overcome them:

1. Getting less than 8 hours of sleep and feeling like you want to nap all day even though you have so much to do.

Reflection:

I found it easy to think of the first ten bugs but started to struggle with the second half.
 I think that the reason that I found it harder to come up with more was because I kept
questioning the validity of my bugs and realize that I have solutions to many of them.
 I really enjoyed this assignment because I am able to look back on it and become a happier individual
since I am now aware of my frustrations and can overcome them.
