12 Things I Wish Were Already Invented

We've all had moments of pure ingenious when it comes to inventing innovative things for the real world. Here are 12 things I wish were already invented.

1. WIFI treadmill that when you stop walking, wifi stops.


I mean with constant checking of all our social media sites and cute cat videos, we would all be so much healthier!

2. Text Recall Button

We've all done it, sent that text that you regret right after touching the “send” button. By now, with our advanced technology, there should be a way to recall those somewhat embarrassing texts and keep them from the eyes of others.

3. Watches that vibrate instead of beep so as not to disturb anyone.

There's always that one person whose alarm seems to go off in classes or meetings. So instead of disturbing EVERYONE around you, why not be able to avoid the cold stares and angry looks in your direction by simply having a watch that vibrates.

4. Erasable highlighters!

Hello college students! This is the invention for you! You would be able to highlight in your textbook rentals ALL YOU WANTED and still be able to sell them back.

5. iPhone chargers that don't break.

I think everyone can appreciate this one. C'mon Apple, is it really that hard to make a more sturdy charger? We're really not asking for much here.

6. Fizz pill for flat soda.

A pill that you can simply drop into your soda and bring the fizz right back. Because let's face it, nobody likes flat soda.

7. Waiter/ waitress call button.

Instead of them coming to the table whenever you don't need them, a call button would ensure that servers only approach your table when you need them too. Might even save them some time and energy running around and checking every single table.

8. Two in one microwave.

I like my dinner hot and my ice cream cold, but I can heat up my dinner in about two minutes, and if my ice cream melts, it takes forever to solidify in the freezer! So why not have a two in one microwave that can beat food up and freeze it in seconds!

9. Two in one washer and dryer.

Because having to get up to switch over your laundry is just too much of a feat.

10. YouTube app that plays music when you use another app.

I think we've all been waiting for this one.

11. A lower brightness setting on phones.

So when you go to check your phone in the middle of the light you aren't blinded by the light. Even the dimmest setting still seems blinding.

12. A safety strap to attach your iPhone to your hand.

The gif says it all.

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.
