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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
