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

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 ™.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
