Honestly, what college student in 2018 doesn't use Uber?

I can honestly say I can't imagine life without it. Uber is the best, especially when you're living in LA and parking is non-existent. But, let's admit it, there have been times we promised ourselves we would find another mean of transportation/walk and not order and Uber.

When you're running late for class

Giphy

Remember when you decided on those extra 30 minutes of sleep?

When it's the first rainy day of the year

Giphy

What? You expect me to walk and risk slipping or stepping in a puddle in these new shoes?

When it's over 100 degrees out

Giphy

The last thing you want to do in this weather is walk all the way across campus.

When you decide to wear those heels

Giphy

You knew you couldn't walk in those shoes, yet you chose to wear them anyways. Now you're paying the consequences, literally.

When you *accidentally* stay out till 2:30 in the morning

Giphy

When you decide to take a quick grocery store trip...

Giphy

and it turns into stocking up for the entire month

When you enroll in an 8am class

Giphy

The only thing worse than having an 8am, is waking up for your 8am and giving yourself enough time to walk to class.

When you miss the last train

Giphy

You really have no other option at this point.

When you get lost in a foreign country

Giphy

You told yourself you'd take public transportation, but next thing you know you're lost and confused and Uber can pinpoint your location.

When you realize you forgot your computer at your apartment

Giphy

You told yourself you would just walk back and make it to class in time, but you know you won't.

When you want to go home from the bar down the street

Giphy

Yes, your Uber driver is probably internally making fun of you for your 0.2 mile trip.

When you wore that outfit you knew you couldn't walk in

Giphy

You thought that you could walk to your destination, but you couldn't make it five feet.

The networking event on campus

Giphy

You know, the one you almost forgot about.

When you said you'd jog to the gym

Giphy

You're going to work out anyways and that's good enough, right?

When you decide to go to your friend's place who lives across campus

Giphy

Why waste time walking across campus when Uber can get you there in under 10 minutes

When you need to get to recruitment

Giphy

You spent longer than you thought getting ready and now you're running late. On the plus side, your makeup won't be melting off.

When you promised to be the DD

Giphy

Oops? Thank God for Uber right?

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
