Getting drunk is always an option.

1. Cling to Loved Ones

Turning on the morning news and learning about our impending doom, I will tell my family and friends truly how I feel about them, which one I love and which ones can… Well, have an unpleasant 24 hours. I would say all my goodbyes, and hold close all of the one that are dear to me.

2. Drive

While clinging to my love ones may be one way to pass the time, it feels too sad, I might end up abandoning any and all attachments in my life. They won't need me anyway, after all everybody on Earth is about to die in 20 hours and I've never even seen the ocean. I would head east until I saw the coast and was able to walk along the beach with my toes in the sand.


3. Skip Rocks

Since I'm at the beach I might as well spend some time here, stretching out my legs after a long car ride. I would pick up every rock that I could and hurl them into the ocean. Some will skip across the placid surface of the water, others will sink to the bottom causing a large splash and rippling in the water.

4. Have Lunch

This might not seem exciting to anyone else, but everyday I have a turkey sandwich and I think with the impending doom looming over me that today's sandwich will taste even better then every other one I've ever had. The mustard smeared on a slices of toasted white bread, with fresh slices of tomato and lettuce. Now that's a last meal to be proud of.

5. Cry

While eating I might break down and cry. It might be because I know that the end is near or because I'll never have another turkey sandwich. I'll sob uncontrollably, as I begin to think about how this really is the end.

6. Go Through Denial

This can't really be the end, I mean how would we even be able to know that besides the giant asteroid on a crash course with our planet. We're all going to wake up tomorrow and feel so stupid.


7. Purge

It's the end of the world and lets face it New Jersey is going hard right now. I could pass the time stealing, fighting, and general rioting as the world descends into chaos. Breathing in the smell of smoke as civilization collapses and literally drinking from the skulls of my enemies, the purge will be the most memorable experience of the end of the world.

8. Look for Spiritual Answers

I might end up stopping my car, and parking on the side of the road before wandering aimlessly into the desert. Collapsing from dehydration and arguably delusional and hallucinating, I'll scream, begging for answers into the cold night air. What is the purpose of life if all of us were meant to die in one big event anyway? Why now?


9. Get Drunk

Right about now nothing would be better than a beer as cold as the Rockies, so its time to drink all 30 of them all by myself. Sure I may die from alcohol poisoning but I don't think I need to spend much time worrying about that.

10. Sit Back and Watch Atrocities

It's finally the end and in our last few minutes I would just sit and watch as the world is being destroyed. Trying to take in all the bright beautiful colors being created in the sky as the sun explodes, or observing the ground crack and shatter beneath my feet. I would only be able to stand there mesmerized as the universe is torn apart and as I realize how insignificant we all really were. Is there any beer left?

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.

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.
