The 18 Different Types Of Uber Drivers

Uber has completely revolutionized the driving service game. The app provides immediate transportation and requires very little thought. Open the app, select your location, and bam, a driver is ready to take you to your destination!

With drivers in cities all across the country, as well as in Europe, Central America, South America, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, you are bound to meet some interesting people and experience crazy things. Here is a compilation of the kinds of Uber drivers we know and love (or hate?):

1) The guy that offers you a mint and mini water bottle for your 5 minute drive. Yes please.

2) The driver that pretends his car is the Cash Cab and asks you trivia questions the entire ride. (For candy, not cash. Sad face.)

3) The woman that has zero sense of direction and asks you to use your own GPS.

4) The driver that offers you the aux cord. Hell, yeah!

5) The girl you accidentally spill your entire life to.

6) The guy who has a glove compartment loaded with snacks. Sketchy? Nah.

7) The driver whose car is a complete disaster.

8) The driver whose car probably didn't pass inspection because he has to turn it off every time you stop.

9) The guy who is completely silent the entire ride making you question if you're even in the right car.

10) The guy who is actually not an Uber driver but you try to get in his car anyway. My bad!

11) The driver that doesn't speak an ounce of English. No habla Espanol.

12) The driver who brings his girlfriend along for the ride.

13) The lady who will not stop talking about her eight cats at home.

14) The driver who lets you squeeze an extra person in the car. Double buckling?! That's how we do it.

15) The Uber driver who calls you before they pick you up just to ask about your day.

16) The driver who has too many air fresheners hanging on their rear view mirror.

17) The guy who probably should have his license revoked.

18) The driver that stays a few extra minutes to make sure you make it safely in the sketchy looking house he just dropped you off at.

Regardless of if your Uber driver talks too much or has a messy car, each ride is unique and an experience in itself. Shoutout to you, Uber. You've made traveling a little easier and a whole lot more fun.

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.
