Articles "Scam Alert" by Joseph Erickson https://mycbs4.com/news/local/dewarn-of-popular-scamming-methods In Levy County, Fl, Police have warned the citizens in the area of a scam that has been occurring over the phone. There is a robotic voice that will call locals personal phone numbers and claim that there is an issue regarding their social security numbers. The scammer proceeds to ask the person on the phone to get into contact with an "investigator" where they then ask for personal information. Along with the phone scam, there is a scam that is in ties with the "Dr. Pepper" ad which is when they promise the caller a large lump sum of money. Once the person decides to allow the scammer to deposit the money into their account they claim they have to make a donation and can keep the rest which gives the scammer access to the victims account and they are then robbed a large sum of money from their accounts.

An "Unmet" Need      After spending some time thinking of an "unmet" need we may in our day to day life, not many things came to mind. Throughout the past couple of weeks, I have been spending many hours at Library West and then it came to me. I started to observe everyone and listen to those around me talk, and I suddenly realized that an "unmet" need we may have is not enough booths at Library West.

I have been going to Library West for the past three years and I have seen the same "unmet" need from students of all ages and majors. I believe this "unmet" need exists due to the fact that a booth is a comfortable environment to study and do work in and for many of us ...

My Entrepreneurship Story This specific topic is fascinating for my to write because I, myself, was engaged in my own   entrepreneurship   work for about a year. When I first moved to Gainesville I created an instagram page titled "healthyhabits" and I would post lots of content from working out to the foods I would eat/create. I started as a private account and only shared to my close friends and family, but then I eventually expanded out and became a public account and starting to create more fun content and engage with lots of people who enjoyed my posts. I then started to make healthy desserts that I had created and began selling them locally here in Gainesville. I even had my own blog page for that account as well! It was really fun to do and something I really enjoyed, but unfortunately I currently am no longer doing it because school became really time consuming and I felt I wasn't able to give it my full potential like I once was, and I never like to do somethi...

Assignment 2A: “Bug” List 1. Slow internet service in my apartment building WHY : I live in an apartment building with many others trying to do the same things I am, therefore causing lags in the internet from time to times 2. A crowded public area, like the Oaks Mall or the Publix on University Ave WHY:  many others have to get errands done just like me and only have certain times in their schedules to get it done 3. Rude people WHY:  everyone has their days when things just aren’t going right, and their anger might not be intentional to those around them 4. People who chew loud at restaurants  WHY : some people may have grown up eating this way and maybe they don’t even realize how loud they are truly being 5.
