About a million times a day, my friends and I say “we wish we had…” about some item that hasn’t been invented yet. While I’m in no way an inventor (I consider it a huge success when I rig a way to get my leggings to stay in my boots) I figured creating a list of things we ladies absolutely need this year can only help the actual inventors get projects started, right?
- A pill that makes me stop obsessing over a guy. My usual combination of vodka and denial isn’t working, and I need some help.
- While we’re at it, a pill to stop the feels. That shit just makes everything more complicated, and the last thing I need is for my life to be more complicated.
- Oh, and a pill that will just melt off my extra pounds. I hate the gym and I love chocolate, which doesn’t help.
- And one that will prevent a hangover. So, pretty much pills that will solve all of my problems. That’s what modern medicine is for, right?
- A Chipotle make-your-own-burrito kit. Sometimes I want a burrito, but I don’t want to put on pants, and they won’t serve you without some form of pants. At least, that’s what they told me last time.
- Or just a Chipotle delivery service. Let’s be honest, I’d most likely fuck up making it for myself at home.
- Pizza vending machines. If they have them for cupcakes, they should have them for pizza.
- Vodka vending machines. What goes better with pizza and cupcakes than vodka?
- Cute heels that turn into flats. My bag is too small for a second pair of shoes, and yet I don’t want to break an ankle when I’m drunk later.
- A breathalyzer for my phone. Somehow, despite not being able to find my shoes or my purse or my sanity, I can find the number of the asshole who I deleted six months ago when I’m wasted.
- While we’re at it, a way to recall stupid texts I sent that he hasn’t read yet. I don’t understand how this doesn’t exist yet.
- Fat-free cheese that tastes good. The war between my love of cheese and the size of my ass is an ongoing struggle and this is a weapon I need in the fight.
- A spout in the bathtub that dispenses wine. I’m always afraid I’m going to break or spill the bottle in there, and that would be a hot mess.
- An option on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter that lets you filter out engagement photos. I don’t need the constant reminder that I’m single, you happy assholes.
- Actually, if we could make the filter so I could just see the really ugly ring and manicure combinations as well as horrible engagement scenarios, that would be great. My friends and I spend hours mocking that shit.
- An erasable highlighter. Sometimes I study drunk and it shows and I don’t want to be judged by the kid I sell my history textbook to.
- Or a way to study while sleeping. That osmosis stuff we always hear about must be true, right? So I’ll just put my book under my pillow and we’ll be good? I could use another nap.
- Little chips that I can put inside the things I lose all the time. The chips would sync to my phone to show me where said missing items are located. If I lose one more pair of cute heels after a night out, the people at DSW are going to start to think I have a problem.
- Restaurants and bars that have cell phone chargers at every seat. Again, I don’t understand how this doesn’t exist yet. My iPhone has three percent battery and I don’t want to actually talk to the people I’m out with.
None of this sounds unreasonable, right? I mean, we have little vacuum robots and cars that park themselves and apps for everything under the sun. So, inventor people, let’s get on it — there’s a whole market of sorority girls waiting for this stuff..
