Story Time
A time I have experienced entrepreneurship is through this program called launchpad scholars through UF. This program is run in infinity hall by a group people that help create startups and encourage entrepreneurship. This program is responsible for laundromat delivery services, freshman starter packs, etc. I was put in a group of 5 with all different majors, interest and years. Some had experience and some like me were brand new to this. This program was semester long and included multiple meetings creating a solution to a small problem. What my group decided to create was a laundry lock system to avoid getting your clothes taken in the dorm laundromats. We went through the process of interviews, small prototypes, multiple pitches and a final low-fye prototype. I really enjoyed this experience because it required me to get out of my comfort zone and speak out while working with a random group of others. overall it was fun and learning experience that provided me with skills I lacked prior to this situation.
The reason why I joined this class is because I am apart of the innovation academy and it is a requirement. Through the innovation academy we take a series of courses which would lead to graduating with an entrepreneurship minor.
As for picture uploads it was over a year ago and I tried looking for the power point and emailing a group member but was unsuccessful but if you look launchpad scholars UF you can get more information.

"Can you not BUG me"
1. The long waiting time in line at Chick-fil-a at the hub during lunch time.
- Why? This problem exist because Chick-fil-a is the best fast food restaurant ever and there are thousands of students on campus that all are hungry and want the best chicken just like me.
2. When your late to class and literally everyone in the class turns there head to stare at you as you walk in trying to get to your seat.
- Why? This problem exist because everyone natural instinct is to break their focus when a new event happens. As the door opens that new event is breaking their focus causing everyone to turn to see what is happening.
3. When I asked someone such as my friends or boyfriend a question I already know the answer to and they lie about the truth.
- Why? This problem exist because when people don't want others to know something even is very minor their first thought is to lie about it.
4. When people say "what even is gluten or how I became allergic" when I tell them I'm allergic to gluten.
-Why? This problem exist because gluten is just now becoming more known but when it first began to be a thing no one knew what was gluten, what it was in or what factor of food gluten is in that makes people allergic.
5. When I want to go out on a Friday night and I tell my parents exactly where I am going and my mother asks me 50 questions before I leave.
-Why? this problem exist because parents are naturally protective and want to know every aspect of their children's well being.
6. when I have an important event to go to such as an interview or formal and the one day I want my curly hair to not be frizzy, it wants to be extra frizzy.
- Why? this problem exist because no hair is perfect and especially curly hair has a mind of its own. Weather also plays a big part in how frizzy hair gets.
7. When I go to get my nails done and the my nail technician asks me 5 times if I want to cut my nails down after I have already said no the previous times she has asked.
- Why? This problem exist because shorter nails require less maintenance, filing and less polish so nail technicians try to get you to cut them to save on cost.
8. When people at McDonalds across the street from house in Orlando get my order wrong and get mad at me when I ask for the right food I ordered.
- Why? This problem exist because McDonalds workers are over worked but customer service is also not emphasized at that location at all.
9. When I study and study for weeks at a time and still fail the exam in chemistry.
- Why? This more of a personal problem that I feel like exist because maybe I'm studying wrong and need a new method of studying.
10. When I plan out an outfit in my head to go to the club that night and 15 min before leaving I put the outfit on and look horrible,
- Why? This problem exist because we often imagine things the way we want to be rather than how it actually is sometimes.
11. When I want to go to the beach on a random Saturday and the weather says no rain but Florida is bipolar and it rains,
- Why? this problem exist because Florida is unpredictable when it comes to the weather.
12. When I ask for help in chemistry and the person I asked for helped rom makes me feel dumb because they think it is easy.
- Why? this problem exist because we forget that everyone learns differently and something that may be easy to us is difficult to the other person.
13. When I am trying to get to get to class in a hurry and everyone wants to walk slowly in front of me.
-Why? People are to busy on their phones and I am usually also running late.
14. When my friends tell me they are 5 min away from picking me up but arrive 30 min later.
- Why? This happens because girls are usually always running late.
15. When I just typed a beautiful essay for literature and the wifi goes out and erases all my work.
- Why? this happens when the internet in unrealiable.
16. When I have my nail appointment set that day and I break a nail an hour before and have to pay extra to get it fixed.
-Why? This happens because I wait to long to get them filled.
17. When I buy brand new pens and they stop working a week later.
-Why? Cheap is not always better especially when it comes to pens.
18. When I am supposed to be at work at 3, I show up and they tell me they don't need me for the shift because were slow.
-Why? I Honestly don't know why this problem exist.
19. When I buy food and by the time is arrives to me the food is cold.
- Why? Because traffic when uber eats drivers are trying to bring us food.
20. When I am really looking forward to vacation but when I get there I get sick.
- This is because immunities act up when in foreign countries or out of the state do to change.
Reflection: I found this assignment difficult because I am very easy going so it took me 3 days to think about the most tedious things that bother me that I don't speak on.
