A bump in the road
Meaning: an obstacle/hindrance in a process or task.
Example:- Rika: Oh, Sayuriiiiii our three weeks in Hawaii is almost done! :(
- Sayuri: Yes, there were a few bumps in the road, but we've really learned a lot.
- Rika: I know, classes were so hard, but we're at the end now.
- Sayuri: Yes, many hardships, but we will miss Hawaii a lot.

Origin: When driving (or biking) down the road sometimes you run into some bumps. However, bumps aren't big enough to stop a car or bike. So people usually use this phrase to talk about small problems that have happened when doing a task.

Another scenerio where this phrase might come up: "Steve you are driving too fast! Oh Snap! I think you just hit someone or something!" "You didn't see nothing! It was just a bump in the road!"
