16 Things You've Probably Experienced in an Uber
Uber

Living in a college town has increased my need to use Uber almost everyday and to almost any destination. Uber drivers can be anywhere on the scale of very creepy or too cheerful. Some Uber drivers won't stop talking the whole ride, and others don't even bother to say hello. Throughout my first year at college, I've had hundreds of encounters with Ubers and here are some things you and I probably both experienced at some point during an Uber ride.

1. You've been called 5 times in a row because you won't come outside quick enough.

2. You get in someone else's Uber and try to take it anyway.

3. You are forced to answer questions about your major, life career, goals and aspirations for the entire trip.

4. Your Uber drives so aggressively you've found yourself seconds away from an accident.

5. You've been taken 10 minutes out of your way which seemed to just be so they could make more money.

6. You've been forced to listen to weird types of music on the ride.

7. You've been rejected from getting in an Uber because you try to get in it with too many people.

8. You've been told life stories about their children and where they're from.

9. You've been asked if you were coming home from date party.

10. The route they take has never seemed to be the quickest.

11. You've tried to make friendly conversation, but only gotten one word replies.

12. You've made your Uber wait outside somewhere for you while you run in and get something.

13. You've been scowled at by an Uber for making them drive you around the corner.

14. You've angrily called your Uber to ask why they are driving in the opposite direction from you.

15. You've been asked at least 35 times what year in college you are.

16. You've found yourself having the same Uber driver more than once because you Uber way too much.

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.

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.

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.
