While we're all over here living in 2018, the students of NUI Maynooth are living in 3018 thanks to the introduction of the new energy pods on campus.

Bleary-eyed students can now take a well-deserved study break and recharge in one of the library's designated nap pods.

The university will be the first in the country to introduce the innovative technology – and to be honest, we're just raging they weren't around when we were in college.

The futuristic sleep stations feature a privacy visor, built-in speaker system and that timer that will allow students to rest for up to 20 minutes.

Needless to say students have welcomed their arrival with many taking to Facebook to express their delight at the news.

“Where have these been for the last six years?” wrote one.

While others suggested that other institutions follow suit – and who could blame them?

One of these wouldn't go astray in the office canteen tbh…

If you were the type to keep a diary back in the day, you'll know how easy it can be to find yourself questioning your past thoughts and actions.

But with the benefit of hindsight and experience, most of us now feel more than capable of dealing with the trials and tribulations our teenage selves went through, but what about the trials and tribulations our future selves will ultimately face?

In a project which has given everyone in SHEmazing! HQ serious feels this afternoon, Alice Kiernan and Megan Daly invited 14 students of NUI Maynooth to speak to their future selves, and the result is a bit of a tearjerker.

As part of mental health campaign Note To Self, Dear Future Me taps into the fears we all face about our future, and reminds us to acknowledge how far we've come… no matter how short that distance might seem at the time.

Take a moment for this one, ladies.
