How To Survive The Zombie Apocalypse

As fans of "The Walking Dead," "Z Nation," "Fear of The Walking Dead," and all of the other zombie shows and movies, we can all agree that it is important to properly prepare for the zombie apocalypse. The day that the dead begin walking is drawing near, so here are some tips and tricks to survive the horrifying day that is soon upon us:

1. Have a plan


It's never too early to begin planning. Make sure that you know what you're going to do when the zombie outbreak begins. Know the first place that you're going to head to.

P.S. Go as far away from humans as possible.


2. Designate a leader



Preferably someone who has good leadership experience and is able stay grounded through all the chaos. Someone similar to Rick Grimes, but maybe not as insane. But then again, it's the apocalypse. What does it even mean to be sane? Just designate someone who would make the right decisions when it is most needed.


3. Recruit people



Start gathering people who you can team up with when the apocalypse begins. People who you can depend on to have your back when there's a zombie coming at you. Carefully choose based upon what they can bring to the table: doctors, farmers, military personnel, etc. Give everyone a role to fulfill.


4. Stock up



Stock up on non-perishable supplies: canned goods, medicine, toilet paper, gas, guns, and more gas. It doesn't hurt to be prepared, and it definitely doesn't hurt to have too much. Well, it does if space is limited...but you get the point.


5. Reliable transportation



Have a good reliable car ready and on standby, because you never know when you're going to need to absolutely floor it. Also, you don't know how far you're going, or even where you're going, so choose wisely.


6. Stash of weapons



Begin collecting weapons. Us zombie fans know that although guns are very useful, zombies are attracted to sound. So also have shovels, knives, and anything else that can be used to kill a zombie directly in the brain.


7. Learn how to survive in the wilderness



Most of the apocalypse involves being outdoors, so you must learn how to survive. Start by watching shows about the wilderness, join boy/girl scouts, or read. Discover what's edible or poisonous, and even how to know what direction you're traveling in.


The zombie apocalypse is near, so get ready and be ready.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
