At a rally at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon on March 25th, a small bird landed on the podium at which the presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was speaking. The crowd went wild, and Sanders let the small bird sit in peace, pausing his speech so he did not bother his new, winged friend. After it flew away, Sanders announced, “I think there may be some symbolism here. That bird is really a dove asking us for world peace.” The audience roared again.

The Audubon Society seized the opportunity to educate the public on birds, tweeting about “Birdie Sanders.”

This happenstance is one of many examples of Bernie Sanders's gentleness. Whether or not people believe the little finch perched on the podium is a symbol from Mother Nature that Bernie is the way to go, no one can deny his love and caring for humans and nature alike. Bernie Sanders's environmental policies are both revolutionary and effective in preventing catastrophic climate change. Bernie is an advocate of local family farming, protecting wildlife, cruelty-free breeding and livestock farming, clean energy, safe air and water, and conserving our natural resources.

Bernie's stance on environmental issues is one of the countless reasons why his followers are so passionate about his campaign. Sanders recognizes the importance of protecting our planet and the dangers that we will face if we continue to violently exploit our resources the way we do now.

No wonder he's made friends with the birds.

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.
