Entrepreneurship story

   

     My entrepreneurship story in fact is going on right now. Me and one of my friends who also attends UF, decided that we would start making and selling hate shirts for game days here in Gainesville and possibly game day polos as well. The t-shirts seem like they'll be easier and more profitable due to cheap production and hopefully a higher demand for something more unique. We're still in the early stages, but we plan to continue to move forward with our plan and hopefully be up and running shortly!
   
    Secondly, the reason I chose to enroll in this course was to seek basic advice and gain general knowledge of an entrepreneurs mindset. A dream of mine would be to own my own business one day and be my own boss. As for now, there are many things I need to study and learn about the business world to prepare me to the absolute fullest for when the day comes that I enter the business world.

The BUG list

                                                                        20 bugs


1. The time period between when classes start and financial aid drops. These textbook prices, access codes, and adobe downloaders have me eating ramen noodle out here every day with a side of sleep for dinner.
      - this occurs because is takes time for the bursar to acknowledge all the inconveniences that present themselves in the first week or two, on top of the distribution process to every student.

2. Waiting in the line at Chipotle on University at any time time during the day. 
      This is a product of Chipotle establishing itself as one of the most popular and affordable places to eat. With that being said, a Chipotle located right across from a school with 50000 plus students would likely be crowded at most times.

3. The lack of equipment at the Sw gym
     -Like the Chipotle scenario, if youre not waking up at 6 A.M to workout (which I never have) you're likely to run into an overpopulated gym that leads to a wait time for certain equipment.

4. Not enough scooter parking on campus.
      - Im not really sure why there isn't more scooter parking to be honest, there are some areas where you can find a decent amount of parking at busy points during the day, but it seems that the areas where people usually need to park don't have enough space.

5. My toilet that some genius built pretty much underneath my sink.
    -This was most likely a product of a sick joke, or the builder just half-assing the assignment but trying to squeeze underneath this thing is probably the mother of all cockroaches in my life right now.

6. Not having unlimited Data for my cell phone.
      -This is exists because T-Mobile and other phone companies are always trying to finesse a couple extra bucks when all I'm trying to is load a snapchat when I'm not on wi-fi.

7. Constantly putting oil in my car
   -It seems that every other week I need to refill my oil, the mechanic however claim nothing is wrong with the oil tank and that maybe I shouldn't drive as much. hmm....

8. Lack of bars at midtown.
   - These lines at midtown having been looking Sheikra-like lately due to the shutdown of a legendary bar ( RIP Cantina), increased population, and other bar closings.

9. Slow speed limits on campus.
     - Im all for safety especially on a school campus, but 20 MPH really... I understand that this is for the safety of everyone in the area but I can't help to laugh a little bit when I see turtles from lake Alice passing me on the sidewalks.

10.  Headphones falling out of my ear while run.
        - Likely due to cheap quality by Apple and extreme sweat from my ears.

11.  Intense Florida Heat.
      - Not and everyday bug, but definitely this time of year due to Florida being the closest thing ever to the Sun.

12. Crash effect from pre-workout.
      - result from too much caffeine and likely abuse of recommended portion.

13. New music isn't good anymore.
       - It seems that listening to the radio nowadays is pretty much a form of torture, most likely a result of todays society in relation to what they perceive as good music.

14. Uncontrolled work schedule.
      - This is result of lack of employees therefore our schedule requests often deferred.

15.  Decrease of iPhone battery life
       -Likely from the product aging and accumulated apps and music.

16.  Rush week for fraternity members.
       - You get to meet some cool guys, but usually you end up talking to a bunch of dudes you don't really care about and most likely won't see again. This a requirement for members to attend.

17. Overcrowded class rooms.
      - Sometimes you can't get into a class your want due to limited space and high demand.

18. unfair Treatment at restaurants for students.
    - Theres no question that when a group of college students dine in at a restaurant, that they're most likely to be treated differently due to an expected lesser tip towards the waiter/waitress.

19.  Chick fil a being closed on Sunday due to owners beliefs.
       - Frustrating because a numerous occasions I've went there and realized a little too late that their closed on Sundays.

20. And most importantly, that the Gator game this Saturday isn't home.
     - Due to our great University getting selected to participate in a special event, most students and teachers will be watching the game through a television as opposed to in person.
