How To Survive a Party​

Survivng a party Zombieland Style

ZOMBIE PARTY

If you're like me, it's not that you don't like parties, you just don't like going alone because then you feel like you look like the weird person in the corner when really, you can be fun and cool if the voices in your head would just leave you alone long enough. If you are not like me, then you can just skip reading this, but if you are, here is a guide to surviving a party-Zombieland style.

RULE 8: GET A KICK-ASS PARTNER

Going to a party is already somewhat awkward; you're not sure who will be there, does your outfit look okay, should you drink, etc. That's why bringing a plus one is key (at least then you can lean against the wall with someone instead of alone). Like Columbus, who needed a partner to help him survive a zombie attack, which, even though a party where a bunch of people are asking you questions you don't have answers to may feel like you're being attacked by a horde of zombies, you'll need a kick-ass partner to watch your back.

RULE 27: INCOMING!

Just like Columbus, you always need to be aware of your surroundings because you never know what's going to be around the corner. It may not be a zombie, but it could be someone with a drink ready to be spilt on the next person who is walking around not paying attention.

RULE 16: OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

Now, we have all heard this saying before, but it's true! Going to a party can open doors for you whether that's giving you a chance to make some new friends or finally get the courage to try guacamole again despite that one time at that restaurant. If it's an office party you're at, it can give you the opportunity to casually (but still professionally) talk to your weirdly intimidating (even though he's only 5 years older than you) boss or chat-up that cute coworker.

RULE 10: DON’T SWING LOW

For this rule, Columbus was referring to where not to hit a zombie (always aim for the head). In our scenario, you don't want to swing too low…on the dance floor. Yeah, you might feel like you look super cool and flexible from all that yoga you've been doing but before you realize it, you've either ripped your pants because you attempted to twerk or have fallen face-first on the making you no longer look cool.

RULE 22: WHEN IN DOUBT, KNOW YOUR WAY OUT

Okay, so let's say this party scene isn't going well for you; you ripped your pants (which that sweater around your waist isn't fooling anyone), your tried that guac hoping this time would be different, but it wasn't so your intestines are more torn-up than your pants, and your kick-ass partner is flirting in the corner with that cute coworker. It's time to bail, but you don't want to draw anymore attention to yourself so it's a good thing you noticed all the exits and have rehearsed your excuse to leave. Now you just have to ninja-stealth your way through the crowd and to the door before your so-called kick-ass partner asks you to give them and that cute coworker a ride back to their place.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.
