8 Life Changing Inventions... That Haven't Been Invented Yet
Kaboompics // Karolina

Often times I think of things that don't exist yet, but really need to be invented. Some of those things are practical, some of them are not, but all of them are awesome. Over the past few months, I have kept track of some of my best inventions and have narrowed them down to this list.

The list seems to comprise of many things that would make a college students life easier, but I think they would benefit everyone. If you know one of these things exists already, don’t tell me. I want to feel like an inventor. I’m actually just going to throw a ™ on all of these right now. Here is a list of eight of my greatest ideas.

1. Margarita K-Cups

I’m sorry but this is nothing short of genius. By margaritas, I do not mean just margarita mix. I mean a real margarita, alcohol and all. Imagine – it’s a Friday night, you’re busy getting ready to go out. Instead of having to waste time making yourself a drink, you just pop in your margarita K-cup and you’re ready to go. Again, it is genius.

2. Cream for tongue burns

Honestly, it’s 2016, how is this not already a thing? Tongue burns are the bane of everyone’s existence and there needs to be a way to heal them rather than suffer for days on end without working taste buds.

3. Find command for books and class notes

The find command is the best thing about computers. You can be doing research for a paper, and rather than actually reading a long document, you can search for the relevant keywords. As a college student, I can attest to the amount of time this has saved me. Now if only we had something like this for pages of books or handwritten class notes, we’d be golden.

4. A hood for coats that dries your hair

I’m not sure how this one would work out logistically, but think about how convenient this would be! I for one hate blow-drying my hair, and am often times just fitting in a shower before running to class. How great would it be to throw your hood up and have your hair dry on your walk to campus?

5. Self Control for iPhone

There is no way my roommates and I would get through finals week without the Self Control app to keep us off our emails, Facebook, Instagram and Buzzfeed. But unfortunately, there is nothing like this for our IPhone’s so when we’re rejected access from those sites on the computer, we just turn to the mobile apps. I know that this is apparently not possible to do on a non-jail broken phone, but I think that’s a lame excuse and it needs to be invented.

6. Voice control for the emoji keyboard

This one probably isn’t necessary, namely because I never use voice control for normal texting, but it would be cool. I would really enjoy just saying the word ‘chipmunk’ and having the chipmunk emoji pop up.

7. Tissue armband for running

If you ever run in the winter, you have probably had to deal with the challenge of packing tissues. I never seem to know where to put them, and end up trying to stick them in my clothes which never works. I imagine that making some type of armband, like the ones they make for phones and iPods, would end up working well. You could be like a running tissue box.

8. A money tree

This may sound greedy, but I have wanted to invent a money tree for as long as I can remember. I wouldn’t want the money tree to be growing hundreds, I just want to be able to run out of my room and grab two dollars from the tree on the way so I can buy a snack or something. I could even use all the dollars I grow for charitable giving. I don’t really care; I just want to be able to pluck money off of a tree.

If you think you can make one of my ideas a reality, let me know. Maybe we can work out a deal. Otherwise, I’m keeping the ™.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
