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.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
