What If We Had Floating Houses?

Maybe the idea isn't so far?

What If We Had Floating Houses?

Okay, So humor me.

This is spring of 2016. Next school year, the class of 2020 starts their freshman year. By the time they graduate.. It's only about a century away from 2121- also the year that the futuristic family from Disney's Phil of The Future.

I'm not sure if you understand. We are almost a hundred years from living the life of Phil! (before he ended up in highschool while we were in middle school)

So this got me thinking. If our great grandchildren will live in the future, what will they have?

We've passed the time of "Back to The Future" and saw all of the things that aren't actually a thing yet (like real hoverboards) but what if my great grandchild will have cool things like flying cars or floating houses.

What if my lineage can wake up, press a button and their house fly to work while they get ready for work in the morning. Then they could press a beeper to send it off and retrieve it, so it's not just floating above their place of business.

Now, I'm not talking a Floating House like in Disney's "UP" with a bunch of balloons. That is so.. 2009.

Guys. WHAT IF HOUSES COULD FLY?! (or we could put two giant wheels on the side of our house and call it a hover-house)

Does that mean everything would fly?

Cities could lift above the clouds! No longer worrying about wind and rain to damage buildings. In a storm? Just lift out of it!

Dogs and cats flying around like the Jetsons?

But not only that! if a house can fly that means people have been flying for decades, which means flight is closer than we think!

Can we get someone working on this immediately? I had the idea, now let's make this reality!

Oh! I'm getting emotional! Isn't it nice to have an imagination sometimes? It comes in handy especially to procrastinate.

That is all, Thanks for your time.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
