Honestly, what college student in 2018 doesn't use Uber?

I can honestly say I can't imagine life without it. Uber is the best, especially when you're living in LA and parking is non-existent. But, let's admit it, there have been times we promised ourselves we would find another mean of transportation/walk and not order and Uber.

When you're running late for class

Giphy

Remember when you decided on those extra 30 minutes of sleep?

When it's the first rainy day of the year

Giphy

What? You expect me to walk and risk slipping or stepping in a puddle in these new shoes?

When it's over 100 degrees out

Giphy

The last thing you want to do in this weather is walk all the way across campus.

When you decide to wear those heels

Giphy

You knew you couldn't walk in those shoes, yet you chose to wear them anyways. Now you're paying the consequences, literally.

When you *accidentally* stay out till 2:30 in the morning

Giphy

When you decide to take a quick grocery store trip...

Giphy

and it turns into stocking up for the entire month

When you enroll in an 8am class

Giphy

The only thing worse than having an 8am, is waking up for your 8am and giving yourself enough time to walk to class.

When you miss the last train

Giphy

You really have no other option at this point.

When you get lost in a foreign country

Giphy

You told yourself you'd take public transportation, but next thing you know you're lost and confused and Uber can pinpoint your location.

When you realize you forgot your computer at your apartment

Giphy

You told yourself you would just walk back and make it to class in time, but you know you won't.

When you want to go home from the bar down the street

Giphy

Yes, your Uber driver is probably internally making fun of you for your 0.2 mile trip.

When you wore that outfit you knew you couldn't walk in

Giphy

You thought that you could walk to your destination, but you couldn't make it five feet.

The networking event on campus

Giphy

You know, the one you almost forgot about.

When you said you'd jog to the gym

Giphy

You're going to work out anyways and that's good enough, right?

When you decide to go to your friend's place who lives across campus

Giphy

Why waste time walking across campus when Uber can get you there in under 10 minutes

When you need to get to recruitment

Giphy

You spent longer than you thought getting ready and now you're running late. On the plus side, your makeup won't be melting off.

When you promised to be the DD

Giphy

Oops? Thank God for Uber right?

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
