Fly In Style Thanks To Uber

Chad is arriving in three minutes with your UberChopper.

Fly In Style Thanks To Uber

What if I told you that a notification on your phone saying, “Your UberChopper is arriving now,” could be a reality? Uber is expected to expand their business and start to offer helicopter rides as an Uber option. The plan is supposed to be put into action this month, and the company will experiment with the project at the Sundance Film Festival. An Uber car will be used for rides to and from the helicopter as well. The move is supposed to be a part of Uber’s plan that will start to offer more on-demand services, such as food, and other modes of transportation, such as boats.

Uber will be partnering with the European company, Airbus, to fly out their new helicopter additions to the company. Uber has played around with the idea of a helicopter ride in the past, as it has given promotional chopper rides for promotional festivals and large stunt events. No prices have been given for the new expansion, but for the promotional rides, the price was around $400 per person. So, do not think waiting for a helicopter in order to get to class is going to be an everyday option now.

This could be a revolutionary step for the $62 billion worth company. Arriving in style at your friend’s party, or planning a destination vacation, could be made easier with the click of a button and a notification letting you know that “Chad is arriving in three minutes with your UberChopper.”

Fly safe, my friends.

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.
