Ten Essentials for Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse

As we all know, 2016 will be the year that our world as we know it comes to an end. We've all seen the signs. The recent outbreaks of disease caused by our beloved Chipotle, the death of the McDonald's dollar menu, and last but not least the horror that is little girls crying over Donald Trump in the backseat of their mothers car. The only common link that can connect these three unexplainable phenomenon is clear. A zombie apocalypse is coming our way.

Pack your bags ladies and gents because after a short survey of 100 college students, these are the top ten trending items that people would choose to bring over anything else in their moment of crisis.

1. Water

A clear choice, but perhaps not the most creative. In the wake of flesh eating zombies all you need is a little H2O to open up those pores and exfoliate your wounds.

2. Ninja Sword

The experienced zombie hunter necessity. The ninja sword cuts right to the point with nothing but pure unadulterated zombie murder. Could also be used to chop fruit if desired.

3. Guns

Is there any explanation necessary?

4. First Aid Kit

Bandaids might not fix bullet holes but they can put a dent in a zombie bite. I'm willing to bet that even zombies love a good Hello Kitty bandaid.

5. A Dog

A man's best friend and a zombies worst enemy.

6. Swiss Army Knife

With 141 functions there are 141 ways to get a zombie off your tail.

7. Alcohol

No matter what situation you find yourself in, getting lit is always the answer.

8. Chapstick

Devouring brains? Debatable. Chapped lips? Absolutely not. Keeping your lips fresh is essential when fleeing the undead.

9. Your Favorite Blankie

Everyone has that one blanket that just makes them feel so at home.

10. Twinkies

Just like cockroaches and Madonna, they are one of the few things that could survive a nuclear detonation, so a zombie attack has nothing on them.



Honorable Mentions

1. Porn

Because even zombies get lonely.

2. Your mom

Yo momma's so fat that she ate brains before the apocalypse just because she was hungry.

3. Insulin

Shoutout to all the diabetics out there. Nick Jonas I still love you!

4. My UCard

If you find yourself down in dumps after looking at hideous zombies all day, you can take a look at your UCard and remember that you are hideous too.

And there you have it! With a high probability of zombies coming our way in the near future we recommend gathering these supplies as soon as possible.

A special shoutout to the residents of Patterson Hall @ UMass Amherst who were surveyed for this article and another shoutout to Justine O'Brien, the woman i would want by my side in any apocalypse.

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.
