It's been two weeks since Samantha Josephson unexpectidly lost her . Josephson was kidnapped and killed after exiting a bar and hoping into a car she thought was her Uber. Since her unexpected death, ride service companies having magnetic signs on their cars, have been discussed to help improve the safety of it's riders. Here are 5 reasons why all of them need them.

1. More informative toward customers

Although companies such as Lyft, have them inside of the car, not many have them are on top of it. Having them on top of cars like taxi's do, would better inform customers

2. Customers would trust them more

A sign on top of the veichle, is another way for customers to build more trust with the companies.

3. Can help differentiate between other cars

Sometimes, people don't always know which car is a ride service one and which isn't. One big magnetic sign, can make a difference.

3. Makes the double checking process quicker

As soon as a customer see's a sign, they can immediately begin the process of asking the driver what their name is, who they are there for, looking at the license plate, car model, and making sure the information on the app is true.

4. More visually appealing at night

Finding your Uber, Lyft, or other car from a ride service, can be tricky at night when it's pitch black. That lit up sign can make finding your ride easier.

5. Less Stress Toward Customers

Josephson's unexpected death, has raised stress in many individuals when it comes to using Uber, Lyft, and other companies similar to them. A sign outside the car, can help shrink the stress.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
