24 Thoughts of A Single Uber Rider
Push Nation

Try and think of the most awkward and excruciatingly uncomfortable moment of your life. Some of you will picture making an ass out of yourself in front of some hottie you're trying to hookup with, others might imagine a majorly embarrassing public mishap, but if you're one of the lucky ones, like myself, you’re awkward moment comes in the form of a single Uber ride. The typical uber ride involves a group of drunk friends trying to get from A to B, while attempting to opperate the AUX cord. The single ride, the absolute worst of all the Uber rides, is a god damn nightmare. A single ride happens when you are the only one drunk and have no other choice but to pay a stranger to take you to your destination. If you've been there you know exactly what I'm talking about.

  1. Okay, he's here I really hope he's not a rapist
  2. He opened the door for me, that's nice
  3. He was just being nice right?! Maybe I'll just text a few people so they know I'm in his car
  4. Please for the love of God and all things glitter don't talk to me
  5. I really hope we don't make eye contact in the mirror
  6. Dammit we just made eye contact
  7. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
  8. Now he's talking to me
  9. Yes, I did have a fun night you nimrod, I'm obvs drunk *rolls eyes*
  10. Did he really just ask if I'm single!!
  11. For fucks sake if he asks me out I'm jumping out of this moving car
  12. Actually no, I'm just going to lie and say I'm dating someone
  13. IT WORKED!
  14. Just kidding...how long have we been together? Wtf man.
  15. At least he's playing good music
  16. THANK GOD he stopped talking to me
  17. I'm just going to keep looking out the window and avoiding him
  18. Why does nothing out the window look familiar?!?
  19. Oh, wait nope...I recognize that Taco Bell
  20. Okay, we are almost at my house..
  21. Should I walk to a different building so he doesn't know where I live?
  22. Shit. My address is in the gps
  23. I'll just walk to the back in case
  24. Yeah, you have a good night too bud

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
