Why Would You Steal Packages?

My rental textbook package was stolen.

I am going on a rage-filled rant. Apparently, my rental textbook from Amazon was stolen.

 

I know the risk of having packages delivered and the potential of someone stealing them. I think everyone that goes online is aware of the danger with constant news, articles, and videos of people stealing packages. That doesn’t stop us from buying things online, it is just part of society now. The difference is that people take precautions to prevent their packages from getting stolen. That’s the real kicker in my case, my roommate was even at home. The package wasn’t sitting out there for days or something like that. My roommate only left once to run an errand. I just don’t understand, why would you want to steal my package? I hope you are happy with a science textbook and not some fancy clothes or expensive electronics.

 

Now I have to pay around $200 to buy the dang book because it was a rental. I didn’t have that kind of extra money which is why I rented the textbook in the first place and I don’t even actually get the freaking book. Oh, and I still need that book for class so thanks for that!

 

My roommate and I have things delivered to our place a lot. When I say a lot, I am not kidding, more than most people, think about once a week. The crazy part is that we have never had anything else stolen, some of our previous packages have sat on our doorstep for days (when we both leave for the weekend). I don’t know if it was because this one had an Amazon label on it which is more inviting than a generic Chinese label, whatever the case you suck.

 

I never understood why people stole packages when I heard it happening to other people, and now that it has happened to me I still don’t understand. You must have a special disregard for anyone else to be able to do that. I hope when you opened my package there was a huge feeling of disappointment when it was only a textbook.

 

This is the end of my rant, be good to each other out there.

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.
