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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
