What If We Had Floating Houses?

Maybe the idea isn't so far?

Okay, So humor me.

This is spring of 2016. Next school year, the class of 2020 starts their freshman year. By the time they graduate.. It's only about a century away from 2121- also the year that the futuristic family from Disney's Phil of The Future.

I'm not sure if you understand. We are almost a hundred years from living the life of Phil! (before he ended up in highschool while we were in middle school)

So this got me thinking. If our great grandchildren will live in the future, what will they have?

We've passed the time of "Back to The Future" and saw all of the things that aren't actually a thing yet (like real hoverboards) but what if my great grandchild will have cool things like flying cars or floating houses.

What if my lineage can wake up, press a button and their house fly to work while they get ready for work in the morning. Then they could press a beeper to send it off and retrieve it, so it's not just floating above their place of business.

Now, I'm not talking a Floating House like in Disney's "UP" with a bunch of balloons. That is so.. 2009.

Guys. WHAT IF HOUSES COULD FLY?! (or we could put two giant wheels on the side of our house and call it a hover-house)

Does that mean everything would fly?

Cities could lift above the clouds! No longer worrying about wind and rain to damage buildings. In a storm? Just lift out of it!

Dogs and cats flying around like the Jetsons?

But not only that! if a house can fly that means people have been flying for decades, which means flight is closer than we think!

Can we get someone working on this immediately? I had the idea, now let's make this reality!

Oh! I'm getting emotional! Isn't it nice to have an imagination sometimes? It comes in handy especially to procrastinate.

That is all, Thanks for your time.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
