Depending on your device's settings, Uber may be unable to detect your location automatically. If you receive a message to this effect: Tap/click on the white box underneath the green "Pickup Location" banner and enter your current location. You should see the black "Set Pickup Location" pin in the middle of your screen move to the location you entered. If Uber was able to detect your location, you may find that the pin it selects is not perfectly aligned with your actual address. Look for the blue dot in the center of your map and its corresponding location at the top of your screen. If it's not quite correct, click/tap and hold the screen and drag it to your actual location. At the bottom of your screen, you will see a slidable icon underneath a number of different types of Uber car. Drag this icon to the slot underneath the type of Uber you would like to take. uberX is the standard service offering from Uber. Click here if you're not sure what type of Uber you should select. If you see a lightening bolt circled in blue underneath an option, that means there is currently surge pricing for that option. This occurs when there is a lot of demand for a certain type of Uber car and Uber temporarily increases its prices to compensate for the shortage of drivers. This typically occurs during rush hours, and can usually be avoided by waiting a few minutes when the demand destabilizes. Once you have selected your Uber type and confirmed that the address of the pin is in the correct place, click/tap on the "Set Pickup Location" banner in the middle of your map. You will be taken to a confirmation screen. In the top-left corner of the confirmation screen, you'll see a "Destination" bar that is labelled red. Tap/click on it and type your destination in to set it. On the bottom-left region of the screen, tap/click the "Fare Quote" button for an estimate of your journey's cost. If you have a promotion code, tap/click "Promo Code" next to the "Fare Quote" button and enter it into the box that appears. Tap/click on the black button at the bottom of the screen to request your Uber. It's on its way! You will see the icon of a car traveling towards you (a blue icon) on the screen as well as a picture of the driver, their name, and an image of their car at the bottom of the screen. As the icon approaches your address, look outside for the car as it pulls up. Do not close the browser, as it may log you out and cancel your trip in the progress.

Ask your parents if you can rearrange furniture before you do anything. If they say yes, make space so your guests can stand and socialize while also giving them places to sit. Move any valuables your family may have in the rooms where you're hosting the party. This way they won't break or get stolen. Check with how many people have RSVP'd to your party and check the rooms you're throwing your party in for seating options. If there is not enough for everyone, set up a few folding chairs or ask your parents if you can move chairs from a different room into the party rooms. Don't have arranged seats since it can make your guests feel anxious and uncomfortable. Hang streamers from the ceiling or spread them out on tables and chairs. You can either blow up balloons with your breath or ask a store to fill them up with helium so they float. If you're throwing a theme party, think of the colors relating to the event. For example, use orange, black, and purple balloons for a Halloween party. Check your local dollar store for cheap decorations so you don't have to go overboard with a budget.

Summary: Reorganize the room to maximize space if you need to. Make sure there's enough seating for everyone. Decorate your home with streamers and balloons.

If you don't have a Skype account already, click the green "Join" button in the middle of the page. This will take you to the account creation screen.
