12 College Inventions That Should Exist
mls.k12.nd.us

College is all about learning to manage on your own in the easiest way possible. We're in the 21st century. There is no reason why any invention that could possibly make life easier for all of us, does not exist yet. They say that our generation is lazy, that we will be the cause of the destruction of the earth. But what if we put all of our lazy brains together to create things might make our day-to-day lives more manageable?

1. Alarm Clock that shouts your GPA at you until you shut if off.

Because there are few things in life less terrifying.

2. Glow in the dark textbooks.

Now you can pull that all nighter without causing your roommate to throw a tantrum over the status of the light switch.

3. Phone case that doubles as a cupholder.

Okay, so apparently this already exists and I'm unsure as to why I don't have one yet.

4. Yelp... for people.

Ever had a bad experience with someone and felt as though it is your civic duty to warn the rest of the world about that person? Leave a Yelp review!

5. Contact lenses that project your notes.

Sounds like a major violation of academic integrity. I like it.

6. Body pillow that mimics the shape of a loved one.

Sick of being in a long distance relationship and just wanna cuddle with bae? Living away from home and missing mom? Customize a body pillow that is shaped like the one you miss.

7. Scantron Printer.

Save yourself a panic attack and print your own scantron at home. You'll never show up to another final without one again.

8. Campus Doppelganger finder.

Sometimes getting out of bed for that 8am lecture is a physically impossible task. Don't worry. Just log onto your campus doppelganger finder to match you with your true hero. He/she will go to class for you for a small price.

9. Shout rooms for rent on campus.

Just flunk a midterm? Recently concluded that your TA is actually Satan and wanna send her back to hell? Let it out.

10. Insulating lotion.

Sick of going out without sufficient clothing in an attempt to look cute, and ultimately realizing that hypothermia is a thing? This lotion will block any cold sensation on your body.

11. Dry shampoo for clothes.

Yup. It's exactly what it sounds like. No need to dig through your dirty clothes hamper anymore and pretend like you didn't wear the same exact things yesterday.

12. Fu**boy repellent.

I'm gonna leave it to science to figure this one out.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
