So You've Been Abducted By Aliens

How to make the best of a bad situation.

So You've Been Abducted By Aliens

So, it has finally happened. You were out too late last night, perhaps tending to the crops, and you were abducted.

First off, you need to relax. No, like actually relax. They can probably smell fear.

...

Relaxed? Good. Now we can talk about survival.


Step 1: Make sure you haven't been drugged

A good first step is to make sure that this is actually happening. Ask the aliens a question that you don't know the answer to, like whether or not there is a god. Make sure to ask them to rationalize it too because, let's face it, if you were drugged you would have no idea how creative your mind is then.

That is, unless they answer that they are what us humans call "god." If this is the case, do not push it any further. You should probably start worshipping them or something.

Step 2: Try to relate to the aliens

Now that you have determined that there is/is not a god and that you are not drugged, you should try to befriend these aliens. Considering their advanced technology (compared to our rudimentary ones), the last thing you want to do is piss them off.

Yeah, sure, I know what you are thinking. What could you possibly relate to?

They might have 15 hands and two heads or whatever, but they still have feelings, dammit! And if you want to survive, you should attempt to tap into that well of empathy that these aliens work so hard to disguise.

Some sample conversation starters are:

"So, does dubstep sound like talking to you guys?"

"Hey bruh, I brought some beers with me. Wanna get trashed?"

"Are you guys, like, clothed? Like is it normal to not wear clothes on your planet? I'm, uhh, just curious."

Step 3: Pretend to get some sort of sick thrill out of any probing they attempt to perform on you

This is going to sound weird, so bear with me. These aliens might have abducted you to understand the human anatomy (you can now brag that, to the outsider, you are the pinnacle of the human body) for their alien physiology classes. So they might try to ... ahem ... probe you. The best course of action is to pretend to be excited for it. Act like this is the most exciting part of your trip with them. In this way, the aliens might be so freaked out by your alien (heh) behavior that they will just drop you back off at your field of corn.

If that does not work, and they are still going to go ahead with the procedure, make sure that it is covered by your HMO. The worst scenario is needing to pay out-of-pocket for a procedure done against your will.

Step 4: Do not tell them about Donald Trump

If they do not bring him up, do not bring him up either for the sake of humanity.

Good luck out there!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
