5 Things That Don't Exist, But Should

5 Things That Don't Exist, But Should
Young Aus Skeptics

It’s 2016, and we have hover boards, smart phones and cupcake vending machines. Humanity has become pretty technologically advanced, right?

Wrong.

There are so many things that, if you think about, we should be able to obtain by now. The following list consists of just a mere few of the various possibilities that we should’ve been able to create by now.

1. Capri Sun gallons.

Seriously, why wouldn’t Kraft Foods Inc. produce gallons of the greatest sugary drink America has to offer? Or, better yet, why do they not patent giant juice pouches?

2. Laser vision.

We have Google Glass and virtual reality headsets; why hasn’t anybody made a set of glasses or contacts that can shoot laser beams? It would make lighting fires and cutting things so much easier.

3. "Roy: A Life Well Lived."

The video game that we know, love, and wish existed: “Roy” is a game featured in Rick and Morty that allows its players to live an entire life vicariously through Roy -- the main character -- via virtual reality.

4. Teleportation and portal guns.


You’re lying if you’ve never wished that, rather than driving home after a long night, you could just teleport to your bed. Similarly to the previous un-invented-invention, Rick and Morty star, Rick Sanchez, has his own portal gun; he programs it, shoots and goes through the portal and immediately to another location or planet. It’s easy to get jealous of the concept.

5. Real grape ice cream.

Fun fact: this did exist, once! Our beloved Ben & Jerry’s created it. The issue with it -- and the reason why we no longer have it -- is that it kills dogs. The high concentration of anthocyanin, a chemical found in grape skins; plus, the fact that grapes themselves are poisonous to dogs; mean that even a few licks of this strange, but tempting flavor, could cause your pup to drop dead. Check out this article for the full backstory.

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.
