Bug List

Bug list

1.     I don’t like that the minimum wage is 8.05, it should be higher.

a.     This issue is affected by many forces and overlaps a lot of issues with our society and economy. But I agree some people don’t deserve to get paid more for simple jobs, but in the other hand you have college students trying to balance life and school and getting paid so little just makes life a whole lot harder. All in all, I wish I got paid more.

2.     I think we need more specific immigration laws with exceptions.

a.     My roommate is from India, she’s one of the nicest girls I’ve ever meet, but she’s here on a student visa and her life is really hard. Legally she can only work on university property, but back to point number one, she doesn’t make enough money to live here. So as a result, she works at U.F and she has 3 other jobs all under the table where she gets paid very little, in cash and gets no benefits. She’s a brilliant hard working student who would be an asset to this country, and I find it so unfair that the U.S makes it so hard for students like her to prosper.

3.     Sexual inequality between men and women.

a.     When I talk about this I don’t just mean the wage gap between males and females, but just socially how women are viewed in today’s society. I find it so weird how people don’t realize they are being sexist. I got into an argument once with my boyfriend and his friends because they were praising one of their friends for having sex with some girl and then they has the audacity of calling the girl he screwed a slut for screwing him back. I brought their hypocrisy to their attention and they flat out told me it didn’t matter because he was a guy. Just how does that make any sense?

4.     Lonely old people

a.     I work at a nursing home and there are so many residents here that the only family they see are the nurses and employees that work here. Either their family just abandons them or they have no one left. If you really want to make someone’s day come visit some lonely residents they are so sweet and they will talk to you for hours.

5.     Abandoned and abused animals.

a.     I am a dog lover and it breaks my heart when I see stray dogs or videos on social media or abused dogs. Dogs and animals in general have feeling and they are just such loving creatures they don’t deserve to be treated in anyway other than either love. And you are just the lowest a person could ever be if you hurt an animal on purpose.

6.     Student loan debt.

a.     I hate that going to school is so expensive. Cause it’s not just tuition, its books, food, rent, gas and more. School should be more affordable or free. None the less lenders and the government should at least make interest rates lower, because I shouldn’t be paying off the interest to my loan for 5 years and them finally stat to hit the money that I actually borrowed.

7.     How many homeless people there are in the U.S

a.     It absolutely breaks my heart to see so many people on the street. I personally believe that half of these people just need a little push in the right direction and some confidence. Something so small as a shower and a haircut are all thing we all take for granted, that would make such a difference in a homeless person’s life. And to even think that a lot of them are veterans, people that put their life on the line to give us our freedom and they don’t even have a ben to sleep on.

8.     Sexual education in the U.S

a.     Sexual education here is so bad, most schools that even have some type of sex ed just teach abstinence. Sex is a part of life and it shouldn’t be such a taboo topic to bring up in high school. If the U.S had a decent sexual education program, teen pregnancy and abortion rates would plummet. Just look at some of our European neighbors.

9.     Pollution

a.     This planet is what gives us life and in return we do little to nothing for it. We don’t even realize how much damage we are causing this planet. Such simple things like recycling could make such a difference. And if you’re that person that’s throwing your trash out the window or doesn’t pick up after themselves when you leave the beach, have fun trying to look for another planet to live in.

10.  UF Parking

a.     I don’t understand why parking here is so bad. Either get crammed in a bus which you have to get on 30 minutes before your class starts, although campus is 10 minutes away, or ride your scoter and freeze to death. We don’t need a new building next to Library West, we need more parking garages.

11.  Shipping cost

a.     I shop online a lot and it bothers me that companies feel the need to charge shipping, shipping cost should be incurred by the company. None the less they should pay for the postage if you need to return an item. I remember I bought about $50 from forever 21 and to send it back you have to pay the shipping cost, that’s never happen to me before, and the shipping cost was almost $17.

12.  When people don’t pay delivery drivers adequately.

a.     I’m a receptionist at a nursing home and a lot of the CNA’s and nurses order pizza for lunch and they give me the money to pay the delivery driver and they always give me the exact amount. They never give me enough to cover for a tip and I’m not going to put it in, it’s not my food. And I find it so embarrassing and just wrong, some employee live of tips. Same goes if you go to a restaurants. If you can’t afford to tip, you can’t afford to eat there!

13.  People that post obnoxious quotes on social media.

a.     If you’re that girl or guy that’s posting relationship goals or quotes and paragraphs on how you wish a guy would treat you or how you would treat girl, just stop please.

14.  You’ve ever hit your pinky on the side on the table while you’re walking, yeah I hate that too.

15.  Slow driver

a.     I am really aggressive, I don’t know if it’s because I was thought how to drive in a different country, but people here drive so slow its annoying! I don’t know how many times I’ve screamed at someone in my car because people felt the need to completely stop to make a turn. Like no, if there’s no red light or a stop sign and you’re just driving in the street and you stop to turn right, you are the reason there are car accident in this world! You’re also the reason why I have high blood pressure.

16.  Related to my previous bug, driving slow in the left lane.

a.     If you’re in the highway and you’re on the left lane the slowest you should be going is 80 miles an hours. You want to go the speed limit, fine that’s why the other two or three lanes exist, I got places to be.

17.  When my winged eye-liner doesn’t match my other eyes winged eye line.

a.     I have nothing more to say.

18.  Forever 21

a.     There’s a reason why I love online shopping so much, I already have an awkward personality, but I hit my breaking point when I started shopping at Forever 21 like 5 years ago. That store is too big, its overwhelming, but its sucks cause they have too much cute clothing, but on the other hand it causes me to have anxiety attacks (kidding)

19.  How Ulta doesn’t accept coupons on high ends products.

a.     They send you 20% off coupons and $3.50 off $10 or more, and you can’t use it on any of the good stuff. The least ulta can do is help me out, I already have to pay $30 for this urban decay concealer, like your $3.50 off coupon that could save me the tax.  

20.  School

a.     School is not just expensive it’s stressful. How many times I’ve cried in a semester I don’t know. It sucks that it’s so emotionally straining. I’m graduating from you U.F not just with my degree but with depression, anxiety and high blood pressure as well.  

I hope whoever is reading my blog is not offended in any way shape or form, some of these are exaggerated reactions and I’m not really this annoying. I didn’t find this exercise that hard it maybe took me 30 minutes. I have been called a complainer a lot in my life time, so maybe that’s why. The first 10 things are actually intellectual things that annoy me about society, and yes these are all my opinions and they actually things that annoy me. The rest are just first world problems, and hopefully you’re not a guy reading them because you won’t be able to relate to a few.
