5 Things You Think About When Taking An Uber

As college students, the Uber app is our total savior. Every Thursday through Saturday especially Uber gets all of our love, attention and money. When the shuttles are canceled or the line is just too long we turn to this beloved app to save the day. Whether it’s a quick ride to a house party or a 20-minute ride into the city everyone has this thought process before hopping in the car for his or her ride.

1. How many ways can we split this?

Depending on how far you’re going the price of an Uber can really add up. As broke college students, none of us want to be the one to volunteer to pay for the whole thing and no, you can’t just pay me back with a drink when we get inside.

2. Why is there literally always a surge price?

I get that Uber is in high demand these days, but seriously twice the normal price just because a lot of people want one? It could literally just be raining and there’s a surge price because of it. How rude.

3. I hope this guy isn’t a serial killer.

Using Uber is totally normal but sometimes getting in the car with a stranger seems questionable. Like have you seen some of their pictures? So sketchy.

4. Where did you say you'd be parked? What kind of car is it again?

When you get that phone call saying he/she is here and you haven't left your building yet and you answer the phone like, "Oh hi! I'm totally walking out now! Be there in one sec!" When in reality nobody is ready and everyone is still pre-gaming and taking pics for their Instagrams.

5. Do you have an aux?

Most of us use Uber when were on our way to a party and we obviously want to keep the high-energy going. I’m sure all Uber drivers hate us when we grab the aux and immediately start blasting "Where are U now" by Justin Bieber. Sorry, not sorry.


Thanks for always being there for us Uber! Remember to never drink and drive.

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.
