24 Thoughts of A Single Uber Rider
Push Nation

Try and think of the most awkward and excruciatingly uncomfortable moment of your life. Some of you will picture making an ass out of yourself in front of some hottie you're trying to hookup with, others might imagine a majorly embarrassing public mishap, but if you're one of the lucky ones, like myself, you’re awkward moment comes in the form of a single Uber ride. The typical uber ride involves a group of drunk friends trying to get from A to B, while attempting to opperate the AUX cord. The single ride, the absolute worst of all the Uber rides, is a god damn nightmare. A single ride happens when you are the only one drunk and have no other choice but to pay a stranger to take you to your destination. If you've been there you know exactly what I'm talking about.

  1. Okay, he's here I really hope he's not a rapist
  2. He opened the door for me, that's nice
  3. He was just being nice right?! Maybe I'll just text a few people so they know I'm in his car
  4. Please for the love of God and all things glitter don't talk to me
  5. I really hope we don't make eye contact in the mirror
  6. Dammit we just made eye contact
  7. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
  8. Now he's talking to me
  9. Yes, I did have a fun night you nimrod, I'm obvs drunk *rolls eyes*
  10. Did he really just ask if I'm single!!
  11. For fucks sake if he asks me out I'm jumping out of this moving car
  12. Actually no, I'm just going to lie and say I'm dating someone
  13. IT WORKED!
  14. Just kidding...how long have we been together? Wtf man.
  15. At least he's playing good music
  16. THANK GOD he stopped talking to me
  17. I'm just going to keep looking out the window and avoiding him
  18. Why does nothing out the window look familiar?!?
  19. Oh, wait nope...I recognize that Taco Bell
  20. Okay, we are almost at my house..
  21. Should I walk to a different building so he doesn't know where I live?
  22. Shit. My address is in the gps
  23. I'll just walk to the back in case
  24. Yeah, you have a good night too bud

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
