5 Things To Take To Mars

5 Things To Take To Mars
Universe Today

My last article was about what might happen if we ever colonize Mars and it got me thinking about what houses on Mars would look like. They'd have to be a bit different than our houses on Earth and they'd probably end up missing a few things that we find commonplace in American houses. So I decided to compile my own little list of things I would take to Mars.


1. A Stuffed Animal


The worst part about going to Mars is the fact that pets won't be a possibility at first, if ever. That means no dogs and no cats, so you'll need something else to cuddle up to at night and a stuffed animal is just the thing. It's soft, squishy and doesn't hog the covers. Plus, there's no mess to clean up!

2. A Maryland Flag

As a Marylander, we really can't do anything or go anywhere without a Maryland flag of some kind. And moving to Mars just means there will be a huge lack of Maryland flags. I need at least one to put in a window to show everyone where I'm from.

2.1. A Second Maryland Flag

You can never have too many Maryland flags, so there's always need for a second one.

3. The "Young Guns" Movie

Nothing says America more than a movie about Billy the Kid featuring Emilio Esteves and Charlie Sheen. It's a great way to remember home, while also enjoying the time of Charlie Sheen's life where he wasn't a dead meme.

4. As Much Beef, Chicken and Pork As Possible

So this might upset vegetarians and vegans I know, but I, for one, cannot live without meat. I would have to find the largest cooler I could and shove as much steak, beef, chicken, and pork in it as I possibly could. I'd also have to bring seasoning and Old Bay, but that's a given, really. I might also bring hot dogs (so Phil Kessel might come too), but that's an iffy thing.

5. US Currency

Since we'll be moving to a new colony, which will probably have its own currency, it might not be a horrible idea to bring some from the old world. Of course it'll probably be a bunch of ones since I've just paid lord knows how much to even get on the ship to Mars.

Of course I'd also take the people that matter the most to me, but I also love bringing material things with me because I'm a material girl who lives in a material world. Unless meat isn't considered material, then I'm mostly a material girl.

So then I have to ask: what are your top five things to take to Mars?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
