Uber

Living in a college town has increased my need to use Uber almost everyday and to almost any destination. Uber drivers can be anywhere on the scale of very creepy or too cheerful. Some Uber drivers won't stop talking the whole ride, and others don't even bother to say hello. Throughout my first year at college, I've had hundreds of encounters with Ubers and here are some things you and I probably both experienced at some point during an Uber ride.

1. You've been called 5 times in a row because you won't come outside quick enough.

2. You get in someone else's Uber and try to take it anyway.

3. You are forced to answer questions about your major, life career, goals and aspirations for the entire trip.

4. Your Uber drives so aggressively you've found yourself seconds away from an accident.

5. You've been taken 10 minutes out of your way which seemed to just be so they could make more money.

6. You've been forced to listen to weird types of music on the ride.

7. You've been rejected from getting in an Uber because you try to get in it with too many people.

8. You've been told life stories about their children and where they're from.

9. You've been asked if you were coming home from date party.

10. The route they take has never seemed to be the quickest.

11. You've tried to make friendly conversation, but only gotten one word replies.

12. You've made your Uber wait outside somewhere for you while you run in and get something.

13. You've been scowled at by an Uber for making them drive you around the corner.

14. You've angrily called your Uber to ask why they are driving in the opposite direction from you.

15. You've been asked at least 35 times what year in college you are.

16. You've found yourself having the same Uber driver more than once because you Uber way too much.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
