Though it new to West Virginia, Uber has been sweeping the nation as the hottest new trend in transportation since 2009. The local, and virtual cab ride is probably the one of the safest options to get you from point A to point B while on campus, AM or PM (... but mostly PM). Ever Uber excursion is one to remember, from the driver to the ETA at your designated drop off destination.

Here are 15 thoughts you have while riding Uber. For those of you who've caught an Uber: you'll totally be able to relate, and for those who haven't: now you'll know what to expect!

1. How much am I willing to spend?

Ok, I'm a broke college kid who can definitely NOT afford UberBlack. I envy the person who can. But I'm perfectly fine settling for uberX.

2. Who's coming with me?!

We can literally have our own version of Carpool Karaoke. Except we're not famous, but its whatevs.

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

Like I said, I'm a poor college kid.

4. Ok, so, the Uber said it would be here in 5 minutes 10 minutes ago.

I've got places to be and people to see.

5. I wonder if they've got an aux cord.

6. If they want a 5 star rating they better hand it over.


Because let's face it, my taste in music is the irl equivalent of the fire emoji.

7. I hope they have snacks.


I might get hungry on this 6-minute car ride.

8. I wonder how much extra it is to go thru Taco Bell?

9. He is probably so annoyed with my friends and I.

Oops?

10. I'll give him a 5-star rating for his troubles.

11. OMG do I know him? I think I had class with him?

12. Should I tell him I know him? Or is that too weird? Because he definitely doesn't recognize me.

This is the hardest decision I've made since deciding between pizza and tacos for dinner.

13. Too late, we're here.

14. Should I tip him?

My number counts as a tip, right? Oh wait, he already has that...

15. I could totally be an Uber driver.

Except I wouldn't have snacks and I'd be late of the time.

So remember, if you lost your student ID and need to make it to class within the next 20 min... just call an Uber. It's perfect when it comes to not needing to have cash, and being directly dropped off at your location. Like, the college version of a soccer mom, dare I say?

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
