Zombie Apocalypse 101

It's 2016 and the world is getting weird....you never know. Better to be prepared than not at all (;

So, just because the Zombie Apocalypse hasn’t happened yet that doesn’t mean it won’t! Fortunately, today is the day you’ll learn not only how to survive an apocalypse once the sh** hits the fan, but how you can start preparing immediately so that you’re ready when it does.

1. Of course we've all seen Zombieland, so this first tip is simple: work on your cardio! Wouldn't want to get eaten alive because we can't outrun a dead guy!

2. Surround your house with treadmills. They'll never be able to get you!

3. “Take car. Go to Mum’s. Kill Phil. Grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.”

4. Resort to a boat, pretty sure they can't swim.

5. Get a group together but use common sense. This isn’t a ‘Scooby-Doo’ mystery — you’re trying to stay alive. No matter how tempting it is, don't be Fred Jones. Never split up.


6. Have an apocalypse wardrobe!

Nothing fancy but earth-tone colors (to blend in), sh*tkicker boots (You never know when you’ll need to kick in a door, a zombie’s face or the butts of your crew), a bandanna (eh, why not?) and fingerless gloves(gotta pull a quick trigger!) Bang bang.

7. You need a pet, someone to keep you company and to keep watch while you snooze.


8. Learn basic parkour.


9. Gear up with weapons, plenty of ammo and back-up alternatives.



10. Prioritize, because we all know what is really important.

Which leads me to my next tip.

10. Prepare your food supply in advance.




11. Pretty basic but don't panic (unless you're at the disco).



12. Dress up as Michael Jackson and we all win in this situation!


13. You could go into hiding, but how much fun is that?


14. Quit playing Pokemon Go now. That way when all of this unfolds, you don't accidentally catch all the wild zombies.



15. Have reliable transportation.



16. Never forget a first-aid kit! If Homer can do it, you can too.


17. Never fall in love with them. This is not a movie. Once a zombie, always a zombie.

18. If you can't find a crew, every man for himself!

19. One word: Crossbow!


20. Binoculars (for the ones who think they're sneaky.)

21. Snag a CB Radio so you can try to find other survivors.


22. Stay away from hospitals! (Most likely, this is where it all started!)

23. Know your zombies!



24. Don't get bit.

But if that happens, what should you do? Pray? Chop off the infected limb? Do a double somersault into a backflip? Any of these are as good as the other because if you've allowed a zombie into your home or have been foolishly tricked into letting one bite you then you're going to die. And let's face it, you probably deserve to be turned into a smelly rotting corpse too. The only thing left to do is offer yourself up to another survivor as target practice.

25. Become a ninja, no just kidding. You better start training now.

Well, anyway, good luck.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
