Ever since Snapchat launched in September 2011, there have been consistent, game–changing updates. For example, Snapchat enabled the video feature in December 2012, stories in October 2013 and most recently, the addition of memories in July 2016. However, there are some essential updates that we still need.

We live in a time where almost everything revolves around social media. You can follow current events, get instant sports updates, scroll through @yungbenfranklin memes on Instagram (follow this account if you don’t already), or just see what people are up to. However, this can lead to many regrettable decisions on social media. More likely than not, we've all either seen or posted something on some form of social media that was a little questionable. Hopefully after reading this article you’ll be able to hide from your future employers...who will most likely be Goldman Sachs since this is Penn.

During our time in college,
almost all of us have
known someone who went
to the hospital for having
a few too many drinks. It’s
pretty tough to argue that
alcohol isn't huge issue on
college campuses around
America. In an effort to
reduce alcohol–related
incidents and promote a
safer drinking space, Max
Reed (C '19) and Anders
Larson (W '18) have created
a startup called BACelet.

Snapchat just got easier. On August 30, 2016, Snapchat released a new web tool that allows anybody to easily and quickly make their own geotag. Previously, to make a geotag, you needed pretty good Photoshop skills to make a design and then submit it to Snapchat for approval.

Buying and selling some of your shit around campus is a great, easy way of making money, but it can also be a huge pain in the ass. Although we still do it, nobody really wants to be posting in their class or the Free & For Sale Facebook pages. Thankfully for us, Erica Polle, a senior Communications major, and her sister, Karen, just made this easier with their startup, a website called GivTake.

Whether during 4k parties, Quad pre–games or simply the long stretch of month at the end of your money, you have probably suffered the vile experience of forcing battery–acidesque liquid from a plastic bottle down your throat. Some people even have the audacity to call this substance vodka. Among these lethal brands are Banker's, Barton’s and Vladimir, which can be found as cheap as $7.99. Although you can save nearly $50 by settling for one of these rather than Ciroc, you end up paying the difference in horrid tastes and painful burns. Tired of the unpleasantness I constantly withstood just to save cash, I ambitiously (and slightly desperately) set out to test the rumor that putting Banker's through a Brita filter improves the taste.

There’s no getting around the fact that nearly everyone is lazy nowadays. People have automatic car trunks because apparently even closing your own trunk is too fucking difficult. Whether we like it or not, we live in a day in age where convenience trumps all. As a result, everyone looks for the easiest way to buy what he or she needs. Whether it’s using Instacart to deliver alcohol to your door (Ed. Note: RIP the days of Instacart alc, though) or getting pledges to deliver you food, it's clear that the less time and moving something requires, the better it becomes. Nobody wants to wait a long time or walk unnecessarily far just to pick up something as simple and generic as laundry detergent. Luckily for us, Penn has just teamed up with Vengo and has made all of our lives just a little easier.

Whether we like it or not, we live in a day in age where some people think that wearable technology is the greatest thing since...well...non–wearable technology. Whether it’s a Fitbit, Apple Watch, Nike Fuel Band, Google Glass, etc. the list goes on and on. It’s actually incredible how useful these things can be. They can help you track your physical activity to stay in shape, help you stay on top of your diet or even allow you to surf the web right on your wrist. However, Ringly, a relatively small and new company, is working on releasing a women’s bracelet that they call “Aries” that will change the game forever.

It's hard to miss the borderline–pornographic pictures of food filling your newsfeed. Whether it's Snapchat, Instagram or Facebook, our generation clearly has a taste for food pics. If you sit inside Farmacy or Sabrina's for more than five minutes, there is a good chance you will see a Penn student (or 12) trying to find the perfect lighting and angle for her runny eggs and s'mores french toast. This picture is then either edited and posted to Instagram and Facebook, or marred by those heinous "Philly" geotags and storied on Snapchat. While some haven't yet satisfied their craving for foodporn, others think that their feeds are starting to feel a little...stuffed. I guess some people out there just don't give a shit about your #hangovercure Bloody Mary from White Dog or your artfully–arranged bouquet of popsicles from Lil Pop Shop. Well fuck them. Whether you're a culinary paparazzi who can't be tamed or are still just hungry for more food pics, download Phoodie for a safe and mouth–watering space to get your fix.

Every once in a while, I try
to do things that make me feel
like an adult. I take the trash
out, I trek to Fresh Grocer to
buy food for my room and I
go all the way to the basement
of the quad to do my laundry.
And sometimes, I even try to
read the news. Nothing makes
me feel like a real person more
than learning about what the
fuck is going on in China,
staying up to date with the
presidential race or what the
price of oil is nowadays. Still
though, I kind of suck at it.
Most of the time, when I try
to read the news, it takes so
long to sift through all of the
bullshit that by the time I
find something I'm actually
interested in, I'm out of time
or already bored. Other times,
different newspapers have so
many sections that I have no
idea what pages to open (and
by that, I mean click on). Lucky for me though, Quartz cuts out all this bullshit and gets right to the point, which is exactly why it should be your new way of following the news.
