Eagles vs. zombies.

Given the train wreck that was 2016, is it really that unreasonable to assume the apocalypse is nigh? I think not. Here's a list of 10 reasons you want to be at Asbury University when it begins.

1. Everyone on campus is loaded with weaponry anyway.

Look, we literally train for this at least once a year. Granted, the zombies often win, but that's not important. What's important is that there are at least two hundred nerf guns on our campus, locked, loaded, and ready to fire at the first sign of the undead.

2. There are secret underground tunnels that the zombies don't know about.

Okay, so I haven't actually managed to find these legendary secret tunnels, but I'm confident they're around here somewhere. I bet Sandra Gray knows their location (that's why her hair's so perfect, it's full of secrets).

3. Campus is less than five minutes from Dollar General and IGA.

Conveniently located nearby in case you need to stock up on peanut butter, canned tuna, apples, and Ale 8.

4. If the contagion breaks out in urban areas first, we're safe.

See? Even if the zombies are as fast as the average person, we'd still have five and a half hours to prepare for their arrival once they finished feeding on the good students of UK.

5. We can use Josh Forringer as a star-spangled distraction.

What? He's got a full-fledged Captain America suit and shield. He can at least play frisbee with the zombies while the rest of us escape, if nothing else.

6. The media comm and film students have seen (and dissected) enough dystopic movies to know the drill.

World War Z, Hunger Games, The Purge; you name it, they've seen it. And discussed every plot hole. Furiously. Several times a day.

7. Speaking of media comm, there are several weapon props just lying around in Miller.

Can they do any actual damage? Not sure, but I can't wait to find out.

8. Not to mention that a certain boys' dorm has a tradition of beating stuff up with baseball bats.

Look, if you're not afraid to beat up several TVs, then a zombie should be nothing, right?

9. And I'd like to see a zombie outrun a horse.

Our Equestrian majors, while they do get their fair share of teasing, are hard-working and dedicated. And if cars stop working, you're going to want alternate means of transportation (also, unlike a bicycle, a horse can't get a flat tire, obviously).

10. Finally, no zombie is a match for the labyrinth that is Kresge Hall.

Their shirts this year literally say "embrace the maze". If I had a nickel for every time I got lost trying to find someone's room, I'd never have to talk to financial aid again.

In short, when the zombie apocalypse comes, there's no better place to be than 1 Macklem Drive, Wilmore KY.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
