A couple of months ago I found myself in a minor predicament. I needed to send my transcript to an organization via the mail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I got over my initial annoyance of not being able to do something through the internet, I realized I had absolutely no clue about how to send something the old-fashioned way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was suddenly very apparent of my extreme reliance on emails and premade shipping labels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I briefly recalled going over the rules to addressing an envelope once in elementary school, but I was still pretty clueless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I of course turned to Google and searched up an image on how to send an envelope through the post office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is obviously the easiest thing to do when you need something done quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you\u2019re reading this and are also realizing you don\u2019t know how to send mail, here is a quick guide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to send mail:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Get an envelope that fits the materials you are trying to send and make sure you have a few stamps<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. In the center of the envelope write the name of the person or organization you are trying to send the envelope to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Under the name write the street address<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Under the street address write the city, state and then zip code<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Then, in the top put your first and last name<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Under your name, put the street address of your current residence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Under your street address, put your city, state and zip code<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. To figure out how many stamps to use, you can use the U.S. Postal Service Postage Price Calculator, but you will need to know the dimensions and weight of the envelope<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Another way to figure out how many stamps is to take your envelope to USPS and they will charge you for the necessary postage and put it on your envelope <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. If you don\u2019t go directly to the post office, you can drop your envelope off at a mail drop off box near you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now go show of your new skill and send a letter to your family and\/or friends!
