It's crazy how people can come up with amazing and inventive ideas before they're even old enough to vote. Looking at these, all I can think is, "I need to step up my game." Let these people be an inspiration to you. Everyone should always be encouraged to follow their dreams, even at such a young age, because who knows? They could turn out to change the world.

At 18, he sold his app, Summly, to Yahoo for $30 million. His mobile news app called attention to problems with how people receive news on their smartphones.

2. Maddie Bradshaw

Starting as a way to decorate her school locker, Bradshaw turned this into a company called Snap Caps. After showing her idea on Shark Tank, she was able to make $1.6 million in a year at age 16.

3. Justin Bieber

You know I had to throw him in. At just 15, he came out with his EP, My World, and became a teen heart throb around the world.

4. Mikaila Ulmer

After coming up with the idea to combine her newfound appreciation for bees and her grandmother's lemonade recipe, she came up with Me & The Bees Lemonade. At 13, her lemonade is currently stocked in Whole Foods...amazing.

5. Moziah Bridges

When he was just 9, Bridges decided to start his own bow-tie business. After emerging on Shark Tank, and later scoring a deal with the NBA, Bridges plans to take his company global.

Coffee! Coffee! Coffee!

Lorelai Gilmore and I are kindred spirits.

Coffee! Coffee! Coffee!

When I was in high school, I was the occasional coffee drinker, if you could call it that. I would drink Starbucks frappuccinos and iced mocha drinks, which were more like snacks than coffee, BUT they had coffee in them, so I said I drank coffee. I progressed from my love of “snack drinks" to a more general appreciation of coffee, and would have a cup of coffee once a week or so. My “cup of coffee" would consist of a little coffee and a lot of cream and sugar, but it was coffee nonetheless. Then I started college.

JoinOneLove

Today's society places a ridiculous amount of importance on social media and what we see on our computer screens. Some of these short films you might have seen shared on Facebook. Some of them you may have never even heard of. Whatever the case may be, these productions have used thier position of power in our world today to spread a message. The messages vary from domestic violence, LGBTQ acceptance, self-love, the role of men in society to end the unfair treatment towards women and even the promotion of the furtherence of medical discovery in our country. Regardless of the message, each film advertises something that needs far more screen time than Victoria's Secret Fashion shows or Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Here are 14 of the best and most revolutionary short films to date:

Well, this school year has come to a close, and it's off to having fun in the sun. For college students, summer offers a few different options: get an internship somewhere AMAZING like NYC, India or somewhere else awesome, travel, stay in your college town or go home for the summer. Whatever the reasoning, many people do end up going home and living with their parents during the summer. Many things are different when you go home for the summer. After almost a whole year being an adult, it's time to return to your parent's home and follow rules that you threw to the wind the second you stepped on campus last fall. And you get to see all your old friends, the ones who came home anyway. You'll also see people you haven't talked to since you graduated that you were really okay with never seeing again. If you are going home for the summer, here are some things that will happen to you.

Airports

Because the best part of flying isn't the flying.

I’m not sure that many would consider their airport experience to be “fun.” It is either boredom or panic, layovers so long that you forget what the outside world looks like or connections that are made by the skin of your teeth. It is the decision between buying expensive food and starving; it is hunting for outlets (because the airports I’ve been in seem to have about five); it is the stress of making it through security without being that person who holds up everyone else. In short, it is stressful and time-consuming.
