8 Life Changing Inventions... That Haven't Been Invented Yet

8 Life Changing Inventions... That Haven't Been Invented Yet
Kaboompics // Karolina

Often times I think of things that don't exist yet, but really need to be invented. Some of those things are practical, some of them are not, but all of them are awesome. Over the past few months, I have kept track of some of my best inventions and have narrowed them down to this list.

The list seems to comprise of many things that would make a college students life easier, but I think they would benefit everyone. If you know one of these things exists already, don’t tell me. I want to feel like an inventor. I’m actually just going to throw a ™ on all of these right now. Here is a list of eight of my greatest ideas.

1. Margarita K-Cups

I’m sorry but this is nothing short of genius. By margaritas, I do not mean just margarita mix. I mean a real margarita, alcohol and all. Imagine – it’s a Friday night, you’re busy getting ready to go out. Instead of having to waste time making yourself a drink, you just pop in your margarita K-cup and you’re ready to go. Again, it is genius.

2. Cream for tongue burns

Honestly, it’s 2016, how is this not already a thing? Tongue burns are the bane of everyone’s existence and there needs to be a way to heal them rather than suffer for days on end without working taste buds.

3. Find command for books and class notes

The find command is the best thing about computers. You can be doing research for a paper, and rather than actually reading a long document, you can search for the relevant keywords. As a college student, I can attest to the amount of time this has saved me. Now if only we had something like this for pages of books or handwritten class notes, we’d be golden.

4. A hood for coats that dries your hair

I’m not sure how this one would work out logistically, but think about how convenient this would be! I for one hate blow-drying my hair, and am often times just fitting in a shower before running to class. How great would it be to throw your hood up and have your hair dry on your walk to campus?

5. Self Control for iPhone

There is no way my roommates and I would get through finals week without the Self Control app to keep us off our emails, Facebook, Instagram and Buzzfeed. But unfortunately, there is nothing like this for our IPhone’s so when we’re rejected access from those sites on the computer, we just turn to the mobile apps. I know that this is apparently not possible to do on a non-jail broken phone, but I think that’s a lame excuse and it needs to be invented.

6. Voice control for the emoji keyboard

This one probably isn’t necessary, namely because I never use voice control for normal texting, but it would be cool. I would really enjoy just saying the word ‘chipmunk’ and having the chipmunk emoji pop up.

7. Tissue armband for running

If you ever run in the winter, you have probably had to deal with the challenge of packing tissues. I never seem to know where to put them, and end up trying to stick them in my clothes which never works. I imagine that making some type of armband, like the ones they make for phones and iPods, would end up working well. You could be like a running tissue box.

8. A money tree

This may sound greedy, but I have wanted to invent a money tree for as long as I can remember. I wouldn’t want the money tree to be growing hundreds, I just want to be able to run out of my room and grab two dollars from the tree on the way so I can buy a snack or something. I could even use all the dollars I grow for charitable giving. I don’t really care; I just want to be able to pluck money off of a tree.

If you think you can make one of my ideas a reality, let me know. Maybe we can work out a deal. Otherwise, I’m keeping the ™.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
