LADIES imagine this. It's 10 years from now. It's a Sunday morning.

You wake up to the beautiful sunrise next to your husband. You're eating Cocoa Pebbles and he's eating Lucky Charms. Your *Smart TV* has recorded 20 episodes of SpongeBob, Powerpuff Girls, Sabrina the Teenage Witch AND Fresh Prince WHILE you were sleeping. You're living your best life.

Here are 10 things you *wish* your "Smart TV" would actually do:

Increase the volume when you start eating chips.

Giphy

It is 2018. Why isn't this already a thing and why is nobody talking about that?

Shock your siblings when they try to steal the remote.

Giphy

Touch my remote ONE. MORE. TIME.

Refrains from passive aggressively asking, "are you still watching," when you so obviously are.

Giphy

Maybe a different approach would be more effective. "I'm not judging you Allyson, but are you still watching? You're right, dumb question." *continues to play the Netflix show I was binging*

Automatically pauses when the oven timer for your pizza goes off.

Giphy

What's a good movie marathon without pizza?

Pauses the movie/show you are watching if you accidentally fall asleep.

Giphy

No longer are the days you have to rewind all the way back to what you last remember.

Records nostalgic TV shows/movies you watched as a kid.

Giphy

The recording possibilities are endless. SpongeBob, Fresh Prince, Rugrats, Full House, Powerpuff Girls...

Automatically turns down the volume when you are trying to overhear a conversation in the next room.

Giphy

You can't tell me you haven't manually done this before. Imagine your TV doing it FOR you.

Tells you to get to class if you become so engulfed in a show you forget you have other responsibilities.

The TV may be smart enough to remind you not to be late, but that doesn't mean you still have to be on time.

Tells you where the remote is when you lose it.

Giphy

"You're sitting on it." Wow. Thanks, Smart TV! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Voice activated TV that answers all questions one might have while watching a movie or show.

Giphy

"What else is that actor in?"

"When was this movie released?"

"Are Jim and Pam married IRL?"

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
