15 Thoughts You Have While Über-ing

... Or, 15 thoughts you'll have when you finally take one.

Though it new to West Virginia, Uber has been sweeping the nation as the hottest new trend in transportation since 2009. The local, and virtual cab ride is probably the one of the safest options to get you from point A to point B while on campus, AM or PM (... but mostly PM). Ever Uber excursion is one to remember, from the driver to the ETA at your designated drop off destination.

Here are 15 thoughts you have while riding Uber. For those of you who've caught an Uber: you'll totally be able to relate, and for those who haven't: now you'll know what to expect!

1. How much am I willing to spend?

Ok, I'm a broke college kid who can definitely NOT afford UberBlack. I envy the person who can. But I'm perfectly fine settling for uberX.

2. Who's coming with me?!

We can literally have our own version of Carpool Karaoke. Except we're not famous, but its whatevs.

3. Everyone better have the app downloaded and be ready to split the tab.

Like I said, I'm a poor college kid.

4. Ok, so, the Uber said it would be here in 5 minutes 10 minutes ago.

I've got places to be and people to see.

5. I wonder if they've got an aux cord.

6. If they want a 5 star rating they better hand it over.

Because let's face it, my taste in music is the irl equivalent of the fire emoji.

7. I hope they have snacks.

I might get hungry on this 6-minute car ride.

8. I wonder how much extra it is to go thru Taco Bell?

9. He is probably so annoyed with my friends and I.

Oops?

10. I'll give him a 5-star rating for his troubles.

11. OMG do I know him? I think I had class with him?

12. Should I tell him I know him? Or is that too weird? Because he definitely doesn't recognize me.

This is the hardest decision I've made since deciding between pizza and tacos for dinner.

13. Too late, we're here.

14. Should I tip him?

My number counts as a tip, right? Oh wait, he already has that...

15. I could totally be an Uber driver.

Except I wouldn't have snacks and I'd be late of the time.

So remember, if you lost your student ID and need to make it to class within the next 20 min... just call an Uber. It's perfect when it comes to not needing to have cash, and being directly dropped off at your location. Like, the college version of a soccer mom, dare I say?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
