Uber Because Everyone Uses Uber

The ride-share service has so much to offer, why wouldn't we use it?

As a college student, Uber has saved me from the streets of San Luis Obispo one too many times. Whether it be the cold weather, uncomfortable shoes, or a few too many drinks, Uber has been there for me. However, Uber isn’t only there for me. Uber is everywhere. Somehow over the past few years, Uber has taken off -- and thank god it has. It was about time that people have safe, reliable rides at all times. However, Uber isn’t just your average taxi service. Recently, they have been taking their services to a whole other level.

Your average Uber experience will typically consist of a speedy arrival, an efficient route and a hospitable driver. What more can you ask for in a taxi service? And if you forget to split the check while in the Uber, since that is the only time you can do so, don’t fret. You can always use Tilt, https://www.tilt.com, as an efficient way to collect money in your group once your ride is over.

If Uber fares are multiplied in your area, or you're just a little short on cash, share a ride. Uber Pool allows you and a friend to join another person or two in the vicinity to split the cost of the ride. This is great to save a little money for when you are just with one other friend and not short on time.

Uber delivers puppies. Yes, you heard me. Fluffy, cuddly puppies at your command. However, it is not available everywhere yet -- only in Atlanta, Baltimore, Cleveland, Dallas, Washington, DC, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Seattle. This kind of fun does come at a cost. You can pay $30 for 15 minutes of puppy playtime in which the proceeds will go to animal welfare organizations. So, not only do you get to cuddle with a puppy but you're also being philanthropic.

If you are more of a food person than a puppy person, UberEATS is going to be your dream come true. It is currently only available in select cities at the moment but quickly growing. So, if you're hungry and feeling gourmet, hit up UberEATS for food delivered straight to your door.

If you're more thirsty than you are hungry Uber Wine is going to become your best friend. Since wine tasting has become all the rave, Uber knew what they had to do to step up their game. They then created Uber Wine to serve as a designated driver for wine tasters who want to spend their day at the vineyards.

Uber somehow always seems to stay ahead of the curve, whether it be a simple ride or puppy deliveries they know the way into people’s hearts. What human doesn't like puppies, food or wine? Uber has hit everyone’s soft spot and they are just getting started. Uber just continues to grow and create more features that will continue to attract more people. Keep your eye for the next Uber invention because I am sure it will be worthwhile.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
