Uber and Lyft Should Be Everywhere

People should feel more comfortable having a regular car as a taxi.

Uber and Lyft Should Be Everywhere
The Yeshiva World

Taxis in the U.S. in my opinion are rarely used for transportation because of the quality and prices. It is something that people only use for emergency purposes like going to the airport, or traveling to another small town that is kind of far from where that person lives. Being mindful of the fact that some people in the economy do not like to drive, or can't afford cars, their only options are to either hitch a ride, ride the public bus or train, or even walk. Transportation has been getting very suitable for people nowadays though. New services have been created like Uber and Lyft.

Uber and Lyft is a transportation service that has local people, around the area anyone lives in, to give them a ride. The Uber or Lyft driver use their own car to drive people to the selected destination. I feel like this was the purpose to try and have local people meet each other in a different way, other than meeting people at local bars, clubs, and other different activities around the city they live in.

The good things about Uber and Lyft is that the quality service of the driver is pretty extraordinaire. The car is usually comfortable for the passenger, and you can put on any type of music you want to. An Uber or Lyft driver is always near your location also, depending on the time of day. There are usually a lot of drivers roaming around neighborhoods and cities in the daytime. During nighttime, you'll probably have to wait about thirty minutes for an Uber or Lyft driver to come to you.

The bad things about Uber or Lyft is that it is not an all around ride. It cannot take you around the city to different locations using the same price. The only transportation I know that does it is public buses and trains paying a day pass. when you get to a certain destination using Lyft or Uber, you have to call another one just to get to another destination. It can be confusing and frustrating sometimes because of the different cars coming to pick you up. It is the way of their quality service of trying to keep everyone suitable for a ride if they need it. It wouldn't be fair for a person to keep and Uber or Lyft driver for the whole day.

Having Uber or Lfyt has been a remarkable app that people enjoy to use for different purposes. Whether it is coming home from a bar, club, or even a friends house. it has a different feeling of using transportation. It has a relaxing vibe to anyone that wants to use Uber or Lyft. You don't have to ride in a nasty transportation bus, train, or even a taxi.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
