By Keira De Vita and Alan Lu

Life is difficult for everyone in vastly different ways. A day can be long and challenging or just not pan out in your favor. The piece that sets that day over the edge from bad to horrible is are small inconveniences. We made a tiny list of minute inconveniences that could tip someone over the edge (in a specific order from least to most inconvenient).

    1. Each replacement Chromebook is also broken and glitches.
