USPS, I Guess Our Notice Of Mail Delay Got Lost In Transit?

If you haven't already heard by now, the USPS will be suspending deliveries today in honor of President Bush's death. Now, I understand that this Bush did make an impact on our nation, I don't quite understand why now all of a sudden we as a society are doing this instead of implementing other tasks that would stand out more. I also don't think that this was properly communicated to everyone, I actually just found out about this news yesterday and it didn't become a trending topic from my knowledge compared to Bush's death.

President Bush was a very influential man, so I do think that other activities that could be on the same playing field as suspending deliveries would be to include more TV specials on how Bush contributed to our world as president. I think this would be more beneficial because it will allow millennials and baby boomers to watch the footage of him throughout the years and to get a better understanding of who he was outside of being president.

I also think that it would be better and more impactful for schools around the nation to include a recent chapter update of presidents and what they did in the past as well as the present because that will help future generations to truly grasp who is and has led our nation.

I found out about Bush's death later on Friday, so I was in the loop a little bit of his death and how everyone was reacting to the news. However, I was not aware of this news for the suspended deliveries that were going to happen in honor of him.

This news should have been out on other platforms online other than the news platforms because sometimes it is hard to see what is trending when it is only in one place. If it would have been more well known, websites for online shopping that we USPS would've been able to put on prior on their website that they wouldn't be receiving their packages until later.

My point is that if we are going to continue to do this in the future, we should not only think about what we should add to our society but as a whole, we should be connected about what is happening in our world with topics such as these. I do think that we will keep up with each other better in the future if we do this.

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.
