How To Survive A Zombie Apocalypse!

If you ever live long enough to see a Zombie Apocalypse here are some types!

Get A Good Car!
If you ever ever ever live long enough to see Zombies find a good car. You will need a car that would be able to drive you far places and withhold dead people jumping on it. I would choose a jeep or a hummer!

GUNS !!!!!
Get guns! LOTS! Enough to carry you for a long time. Go raid a Sporting Goods. Like Big Five!
They have guns, get bullets and guns. Like an M-16! It will last a while and they shoot at a good distance.
If guns don't work then get knifes!

Be Strong!
There is a good chance that people will get sick. So if you can find two or three people that can walk around with you just in case you get sick or get bite. They will take care of you properly.

Cardio!
If you are planning on running away from Zombies then you will have to be fast and fit.
Sad to say, but the chuncky people that get tired will go first. Especially because there is more meat.
I'm not saying that you need to run but if you do then your going to have to be fast and strong.

SEAT BELTS!!
If you do get a good car and you are in the run from a Zombie crowd then you will have to buckle up. It may not seem important at the time but if you come to a quick stop or a fast turn then if your buckled then there is a less chance of flying out of the glass.

FOOD!
Keep your house close to a store. So just in case you run out of food you can walk to the store and have your guns handy so you can attack any Zombies on your way over there. Keeping food is good so you won't go hungry or sick.

If there ever was a zombie apocalypse (which there will probably not be one) I will tell you how you could survive one. You would need weapons and others to help you. Also, find a safe house that you all could fit in. Never go out at night and never go out alone.

Weapons:

To survive the hordes of zombies that come at you, you need weapons. A gun could be handy at fighting them off. Like an assault rifle. Don't be going around hitting a zombie with a inflatable baseball bat you would get at a carnival. Use a real bat. When using the weapon try and hit their brain/head. 

Safe House:

Also, you would need a safe house to stay at most of the time. A place were you could live with food, weapons, and a source of energy. For example, Target or Walmart. They both have energy sources and food. The only thing bad about Target is that they don't have much weapons. Also, while your there you would have to check for survivors and zombies. You will have to board up the doors and make sure no one goes close to them.

Friends or Survivors:

You need to find at least a couple survivors or friends you can trust. They could help you fight the zombies. Also, you would need them so you won't feel alone and scared that something might pop out at you.

Never Go Out At Night:
You never should go out at night during one. You don't want to be out in the dark and a zombie popping out at you and eating your brains. After that the survivors or what ever will worry about you and wonder about you, go outside to look, and probably get eaten to so there will be less humans in the world.


Never Go Out Alone: 
This is as same as the one above but this is where the survivors come in handy. They could get your back while you can be getting Twinkies. While walking down an alley you can have some one to talk to.  

How to survive a tornado!

If you have ever been in a tornado and have lived to tell people about your story then you understand how horrible they can be if your not prepared. Tornadoes are like earthquakes. They are both common. If you ever experience a tornado and dont know how to survive it. Follow these 5 steps.


Step 1: Learn about them!

You can’t survive a tornado if you don't know what they are. You have to educate yourself about them. Go to the library get some books so something. A tornado is a powerful column of winds spiraling around a center of low atmospheric pressure. The wind is so powerful is can blow a mansion away or completely destroy it. They say tornadoes are nature’s most violent storms. So educate yourself before you come crossing down a tornado.


Step 2: Get prepared

If you live somewhere, where tornadoes are common then get prepared. For example I lived in Minnesota and there tornadoes are common. I’m not just going to sit there waiting for it to come. I’m going to prepare a tornado safety kit. In this kit you can include items such as bottled waters, blankets, clothes, food, batteries, and a radio. You never know when a tornado can come so you better prepare before hand. You should keep your safety kit in a tornado safety room or just the safest room.
Just understand how horrible they can be if your not prepared.

Step 3: Know the warning signs

People that live where tornadoes usually hit don’t really have time to prepare. They never know when it will come. Even though this happens most people have a emergency tornado supplies. People who have these usually leave them in a safe room where the tornado can’t get them. If you want to survive you have to know the waning signs. The people that don’t have kits just wait until they see warnings that a tornado will occur. Some signs are weather changes. You have to pay attention to see if any sudden weather changes occur. For example if it’s like 45 degrees then its 101 degrees. That’s weird! If a tornado has happened close to where you live there’s a chance that it will hit where you live next.  SO watch these signs.

Step 4 : Seek  shelter

If a tornado occurs when you’re outside the first thing you need to do is seek shelter. You will die if you’re outside. If your inside in a safe place there is a chance you will survive. In most places where tornados occur there is usually a room down stairs where the tornado doesn’t hit. If there is one of those in your house that’s the safest place. If you don’t have one go to a restroom, closet or any other room that is windowless and has very little furniture in it. If you are driving when a tornado hits pull over and lay down where there is a whole or a ditch.

Step 5: hold on tight

If a tornado is really strong hole on to something that most likely wont break or come flying out. Hold on to it very tight. Do not release until the wind is calm and you feel is not going to come back that same day. When the tornado has struck don’t try and save some of your personal items. That can distract you to release what you’re holding on to and come flying with the tornado. Its either you save yourself or your items.

If you live in an area where these storms are common follow these steps above. Some people say you can still die but by following the above guide, you can at least try and stay one step ahead of the storm.

How to Survive Dumb Questions

"Kasaan, do you eat like everyday?" That was a dumb question, everyone in the world is going to be asked at least ten dumb questions in their life. Sometimes they can be very nerve wrecking, you have to learn how to get around or handle these dumb question situations better. I have five main instructions in how to survive dumb questions.
  Figure out the level of dumbness
When being asked a dumb question it can be dumb for many reasons such as, them knowing the answer already, them being to young to know logic, the mood you're in, and how they ask you.
They can ask,  "Why are pillows soft?" My answer to that would be, "Do you want a hard pillow so your neck could hurt in the morning pillows are soft for comfort, if you wanted a hard pillow you might as well sleep on a rock." You just have to keep your temper and not approach it all hostile. Tell them in a quiet tone or tell them to search it.

 Figure out how to answer dumb questions politely
People are going to sometimes ask you dumb questions because they might think it's humorous or just to get on your nerves. To deal with this you have to be polite no matter what, KEEP CALM. If you answer politely they'll find it less humorous because you answered in such a calm fashion. If you are already upset and they just ask you something ridiculous like, "What if you stubbed your toe on the moon would it be one sixth of the pain you'd feel if you were on earth?"Answer politely figure out what they are trying to accomplish by asking you this question. If you give them a reasonable explanation they'll feel dumb wasting their breath asking you.

 Learn how to avoid dumb questions(If possible)
 Parents even ask dumb questions not even knowing if it was logical to ask or not. They ask questions like, "I know you just came back from  skateboarding but have you seen the comb i was just using?" To prevent getting asked dumb questions always have in earphones that way people wont even  bother to talk to you. Next, don't speak to people who ask dumb questions on a regular. If you do speak to them you must like dumb questions and getting frustrated. Try to stay away from dumb question situations.

Tell the person how you feel about them asking that question and to them never put you in the predicament again.
 Once you are asked a dumb question and you are just having a bad day and don't want to hear it. Grab them by their shoulders lightly look into their eyes and say, "That was dumb don't ever ever ask a question so dumb again, Thank you." They'll understand after that. You can also tell them, "Think before you speak."

 Try to find the humor in the question
If you are asked a dumb question by a close friend just laugh, go along with them  and it'll make the situation easier. Once you laugh with them you can find the positive side of dumb questions and make it not such a big problem.

If you get a dumb question asked to you follow these steps and  you can survive dumb questions. One of the steps is the key to survival for one of your dumb question situation. My steps have been proven to stop hair loss and mind numbing upsetness.

How To Survive When Your Grounded

  

Being Grounded

Life is not easy and so there's many things you have to learn how to survive. One thing you need to learn how to get through is being grounded. Being grounded is horrible.

You have to learn how to immediately get home after school, stay home on the weekends and watch in misery as all your friends are having fun going out. If that's not enough torture, when I'm in trouble and get grounded my parents take my luxury's away. My phone and my laptop go bye bye.

Then since your parents are upset with you whenever something needs to be done around the house guess who has the honor of doing it ? No not your other siblings that are probably sleeping in but you.

Survival Guide

When your grounded the best thing to do is do whatever your parents ask without one word. If you argue with them they just get more upset so it's best to do it quickly but do it right. Don't even say as much as the word okay because it might come off as "attitude" but if you do dare respond do it as cheerfully as possible.

Also its best to not even look at them. Well you can look at them but when they ask for something don't make a sour face or any dramatic faces. Smile or at least try to keep a straight face with them so ther's no scene.

 If you want to get off of your life sentence early do extra too.Randomly do the dishes or walk the dog. That will look good and maybe get you a day off or something. Even if it doesn't at least you can say you did something.

 Be nice no matter what kind of mood they are in. Help them with the littlest things and even ask about their day. If you do ask though, make sure you actually listen.


When your friends are talking about what their doing or how last weekend was just stop listening and think of happy thoughts. Another thing is to tell your friends you're grounded so they don't get mad or upset when you don't text them back or go to the movies with everyone.

The last thing you need to defeat is any temptation. I always have those thoughts about sneaking into my parents room and taking my phone or laptop back but then my common sense comes back because if I get caught I just add more time to my imprisonment. Definitely don't try to sneak out because that usually never works or at least for me it doesn't. Really just take your grounded time and turn it into the time that you will really focus on your school work or help around the house.

Learn From Your Punishment

 As much torture as it is you have to learn to take it and once your done being grounded make sure the next time you get to go out you really have fun. Also whatever you did to get grounded in the first place make sure you learn your lesson. Well hopefully you get more out of this then I do because even I don't always follow my own advice but really who does ? So when your grounded help out without attitude, or looks,  be nice, ignore anything you can't do or couldn't do from your friends and fight back temptation.

Surviving The Living Dead

If you have miraculously survived the first couple of days in a zombie outbreak, here are a couple tips on keeping your brain in your head and your flesh on your bones.

1. The first crucial tip for surviving is food. If you want to survive anything you will always need food. I bet the first place anyone would go to to get food is a super market. Thats the bad part, everyone would go there so unless it's the size of a foot ball stadium, I would suggest not going there, at least until everything has toned down a little bit. I would say the best place to go to is other houses, I mean they're every were and there's also a pretty good chance that they have canned goods or other necessities. Also small liquor stores wouldn't be a bad idea or gas stations.

2. One of the most important parts of surviving a zombie apocalypse is defense against them, weapons. If you're thinking huge shotguns and huge machine guns you're probably wrong, because unless you're fighting a town, you don't have to all out Rambo on them. The problem with guns is that they have a limited supply of ammo, need maintenance regularly, and just too loud. Don't get me wrong, it is crucial to have a gun, but it's a bit overkill and should only be used if you need to. A good weapon would be something silent, easy to maintain, and relatively light. Like a good melee weapon, I would say a base ball bat or a machete, maybe put some razors or barbed wire on the baseball bat for extra fun, but if thats not your style well then maybe you can pick up a bow or a crossbow, because they are silent, relatively light, and retrievable ammo. Pretty much anything that will cause some major damage to someones head, and is dependable, is a good weapon.

3. The third step, Proper attire. Now just because there aren't any people around doesn't mean that you have to straight to the mall and get the latest fashion, because no one's is going to be around to care, except zombies. What you need to wear is something thick, or layers of clothes, maybe try to find something light, that would with stand a couple of bites, because when you find yourself cornered by some walkers in an alley, layers count, because zombie teeth aren't made of Teddie bears. Your hair, you might see it as a long and luscious lion mane, but zombies, zombies see your lion mane as a handle, in which to jerk you back and make a meal out of your not so smart brain, because you should cut your hair, or crop it back.

4. If your stranded in a city and looking for a place to spend the night, don't just go anywhere, because that Walmart might be infested with fat Mcdonalds loving zombies that want to make a happy meal out of your face. Go to high ground like a sky scraper, not an apartment building, because the tenets could be, you know, zombies. Back to that sky scraper, now getting in may be a problem, but only if the place is covered with 'em, obviously, but you should probably only go if the whole apocalypse thing has died down a little bit, if it hasn't though, well then read step 5

5. If the zombie apocalypse is at it's peak and you are struggling to survive or fight off those zombies, well then find a permanent residence, far far away. If your thinking outskirts of town well there are obviously still going to be zombies around. The best place to go would be a tundra, but don't just hit the road without preparing for it, get your camping/tundra supplies and get to it. The reason a tundra is good because it's pretty cold out there, and zombies don't seem to have a lot protection, so it's their problem not yours. But if your not much of a cold person, well then go to a forest, not a camping place with trails but an isolated forest with lots of animals around, so bring your hunting tools and get to it, unless you would like be eaten of course...

Work Together!

By : Dr. Chiao-Lin Nien

I honestly think that working together is a horrible thing. Not only do you argue with the people in your group, if you choose a friend for a partner you will get side tracked. I'm not saying that working together should be banned altogether, but maybe lay low on it for a little while. I mean working in groups is fun for kids from Kindergarten to like 6th grade, but when you get into Junior High and High School, kids start to become rude and don't like to work together.

In 6th grade I had to pick one partner to work with for a final project that will risk your grade dropping really low. So, I picked my best friend to work on it with me. Not knowing that she was going to get sick the week we needed to work on it...I had to do most of the work by myself and we both got the same grade for it. With me doing all the work ever since then I hated working in groups. Yeah, we got a good grade but it still made me a little angry.

Not everyone hates to work together. I was reading on I Love Team Work, that team work is a great way to keep your mind focused and moving. What fools! Working in a group will make you lose focus because someone will start talking about how their weekend was or how much drama they have, always something to make the other team members get less focused.

If working together is supposed to make us smarter than why is it that a lot of people that work in groups get low or bad scores on their projects. Also a lot of groups may do bad work because they couldn't get it done so they rush at the last minute.
