It was pretty difficult at first to think of things that bothered me especially having the opportunity to be abroad and take classes online, but once I began to think of things it was pretty easy. I just tried to think of times when I was really annoyed (mostly times when I just woke up and was cranky to do things), and it helped me out more. I felt very pessimistic creating this list, which is hard for me to do because I usually try to be a positive and optimistic person, and if not that then at least a reasonable or logical person. After completing this list I thought of how useful it is into creating products/ business ventures that will help solve problems for people.
