1. My cell phone.

Whoop, there it is. Bet you couldn't guess that one, or that it would be #1, did ya?

My cell phone - unfortunately - has basically my entire life on it. Whether I like it or not, I rely on it for so much more than I should. Every day, I can't go anywhere or do anything unless I have my phone on me or in my hand.

If I had it with me, I could at least call, text, and FaceTime people from a distance. At least there's some form of communication so that I don't go completely insane all alone. At least I could still have social media and interact with those far from me.

2. Cell phone charger.

Above all else, if I want to have a working cell phone, I'm gonna need its charger. If there's a metaphorical wall plug or computer for me to plug my phone into, then I'd need a charger so that I can use it.

This may seem like an easy one, but if you had to put yourself into this exact situation and immediately chose to have your phone with you but not your phone's charger, you'd be rendered useless. Most people don't think to wish for a charger.

3. A blanket.

I get cold so easily as it is whether the weather is cooler or not. I'm never without a blanket anyway, so I figure if I'm gonna be stranded, I'd want one so that I can at least stay warm wherever I am. It would give me something to snuggle with and even use as a pillow during the day for naps.

4. A pair of closed-toed shoes.

As comfortable as sandals and flip-flops can be to wear for leisure, I'd prefer to have a pair of closed-toed shoes because - well - you never know what you'll encounter. I could step on a sharp shell, a sand crab, a piece of glass, anything. I'm too uncomfortable to put my bare feet into the sand as it is, or even wade into the water without knowing what awaits me. If I had a single pair of closed-toed shoes, I'd be set for life. Just as long as they're guaranteed to last me and won't fall apart.

5. My iPad.

This is probably not the one you were expecting to see as #5.

My iPad doesn't get used enough since I have a MacBook Pro, but I'd want to be able to have something to watch my Netflix on; assuming the island has free wifi all of the time.

I like to live stream my YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu so that I can watch reality T.V. and my favorite shows that aren't airing anymore on channel T.V. I'd need something to watch it all on, and my computer just isn't the same as my iPad. With this, I can at least feel more at leisure and not like I have a 500-word article to type once a week.
