A New Meaning To Eternal Life

Turning death into something beautiful.

Have you ever had an eerie feeling walking past a graveyard? Graveyards can be quite haunting and morbid, can’t they? Or has your dog knocked over “grandpa”? Or maybe “dad” was mistakenly poured into your coffee like in the movie ‘Due Date’?

What would you do if I told you that this will no longer be a problem? That you could have your recently deceased loved one live forever? You would think I’m crazy.

But the truth is this: There is such a thing as life after death and it is through a tree. There is a company that makes 'Bios Urn' and 'Bios Incube' (Bios Incube is not yet released).

This urn turns your cremated loved one or pet into a tree of your choice, which could be maple, pine, gingko, beech, or ash. These urns are made out of coconut and are biodegradable, and include a seed which can be planted in your yard or in a forest. Your recently deceased will transform and return to life through something beautiful: Nature.


Here’s how Bios Urn works:

There are two compartments. The top section holds a seed, soil mix, and an expansion disc. The soil mix allows for water flow and the expansion disc increases to mix the ashes, which are held in the lower section. The expansion disc allows for decomposition and allows the ashes to help the tree grow.


Here’s how Bios Incube works:

This is the world’s first incubator designed for the afterlife. All you need to do is plant your Bios Urn inside of the Bios Incube until soil is covering the top, put the sensor on the soil and fill the Bios Incube with water.

After that, you can connect to the app on your mobile device and sync to your Bios Incube! You will be able to track and monitor your tree’s vital signs while it combines it’s data to understand the specific needs of your tree. You can stay up to date on environmental conditions like local weather that could affect your tree, learn about the soil’s amount of fertilizer, temperature and moisture, water quality and light exposure, all while Bios waters itself!

Cost of a Bios Urn?

$145 + shipping. And an object for you to admire and remember your deceased loved one for the rest of your life? Priceless.

These biodegradable urns will transform cemeteries into forests. They are also respectful to the environment, and not an eye sore, like many cemeteries can be.

After my death, I would be blessed to re-enter this world as a tree for my future generations to enjoy and cherish.

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.
