25 Thoughts You Have When Taking An Uber

Most college students will agree that Uber is a lifesaver when it comes to getting kids safely from point A to point B in a timely fashion. The app comes in handy especially when the school shuttles do not drop students off in front of their favorite nightclubs or off-campus house parties. While some Uber excursions are more eventful than others, here are thoughts that every Uber passenger has experienced before, during and after their ride.

1. Who is coming in my Uber?


2. What type of Uber should we take?

I'm a broke college kid... I cannot afford the luxuries of an UberBLACK! Although, it would be nice to roll up to a house party in a Rolls-Royce or Porsche...

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

4. I hate the moochers who give every excuse not to split the fare... I am just as broke as you are!

5. Why are the Ubers so far away... doesn't anyone stay in nowadays?

6. These surge prices are ridiculous.

7. Are all these people going to the same destination as me?

8. What are the odds my driver is foreign?

1 in 2...

9. Will our driver notice if we squeeze an extra person or two in our Uber?

10. Other students better not steal our Uber... it's like a shark tank out here!

11. I wonder if our driver has an aux cord?

12. If he/she wants that five-star rating, they better hand the aux cord over.

13. I love the Uber drivers who provide juice boxes and snacks for their customers.

14. Some of these drivers frighten me.

15. Is Uber safe?

16. Are we going to get kidnapped?

17. Well, it's too late to turn back now...

18. Uber drivers are either super talkative or silent. There's no in between.

Either way, a car ride alone with an Uber driver is 100 percent awkward.

19. It grinds my gears when people pronounce the app as "yoober" instead of "oober"

20. I swear if anyone throws up in the Uber, they're paying for it... I do not have $200 to waste on the poor decisions of other people

21. How many laws is this Uber driver breaking?

22. Thank God we made it to our destination safely

23. Don't worry, Uber driver, regardless of how strange our conversations were and how many rules of the road were broken, you will basically always get a five-star rating from us college kids because we will forget to fill out the star rating until the next time we are in a rush trying to find an Uber.


24. How do I become an Uber driver?

25. ...Yep, I'll be Ubering home, too!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
