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.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
