Do you think that you could survive a zombie apocalypse? What if it happened during school, could you still survive it? These tips will help you if this were to ever happen during school.
If you were sitting in English class and all of a sudden a zombie came bursting through the door you’d probably freak out. The best thing to do though is keep calm and think straight. Most people can’t handle stress and pressure of near death experiences, which wouldn’t be helpful in a situation like this. You should try and figure out what the best option to do is. If you’re a good fighter then maybe you should be the hero and save everyone. Try and find the sharpest object or one that can impact the hardest blow, just try not to get bitten. If fighting isn’t your thing than maybe you need to get behind the fighter or find a way out. If you’re on the first floor then it may be best to you just take a little jump out the window and find a safe place to hide.
If you happen to be in the cafeteria when one of those brain eaters comes out then what should you do? Best thing to do would probably be get in the middle of a crowd of people trying to storm out. A perk of being in the cafeteria when it happens is that you’ll be able to grab any sharp utensils that are near you. If all else fails just grab a chair and swing it at them until they can’t move anymore. After that you should probably try and find an adult that you can run to, and its best to follow them.
Even though its not too likely that something like this will happen, its good to think about what you’d do. Try and think of what you would do in a situation like that and think of strategies to help you get through it. Think smart and don’t let the brainless get you.
The End of the World Benefit Concert took place December 20 at 6:30 pm in the OHS auditorium to raise money for Carolina for Kibera. The concert was hosted by the Peace Club, led by Marc Sprintz. The concert featured performances by many including but not limited to the Apollo Panthers, The Blue Suits, and a duet performance by seniors Terrance Morrow and Chelsea Aniol.
The concert started when Peace Club President Karla Lozano and Vice-President Indy Reid-Shaw walked up on stage and gave a brief intro to Peace Club's cause, Carolina for Kibera.
The first performer was Anastasia Zitko. She sang two songs, the first being “Jar of Hearts,” originally performed by Christina Perry. The second song was “Fix You” by Coldplay. The crowd loved it, and it was a great start to a great evening.
The singing performance was followed by poetry performed by Apollo Panthers, which consisted of several people performing poetry. They came up individually, and performed several poems/raps in between other performances.
One band who really fired up the auditorium was the Blue Suits. They performed four songs with high intensity and sound.
Terrance Morrow and Chelsea Aniol performed “Next To You,” originally sung by Chris Brown and Justin Bieber, as a lovely duet.
“It was a really great concert with great performances,” junior Christian Walker said when it was over.
However, there is no reason to be concerned.
While the Mayan calendar is known for its accuracy and stunningly remarkable consistency, there is no scientific evidence to support this conclusion. In fact, NASA has released a statement explaining the situation.
“The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012 and linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 — hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012."
To apprease the public, they added: “For any claims of disaster or dramatic changes in 2012, where is the science? Where is the evidence? There is none, and for all the fictional assertions, whether they are made in books, movies, documentaries or over the Internet, we cannot change that simple fact. There is no credible evidence for any of the assertions made in support of unusual events taking place in December 2012.”
While the lack of imminent danger is certainly a relief, citizens still need to be cautious on December 21. While there is no proof that the end of the world will occur, dangerous situations can take place in the face of stressful situations. Be aware of the possibility of riots, looting, and an overall rise in crime.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel, though. Peace Club is holding its End of the World Benefit Concert Thursday, December 20 for students, teachers, and community members to attend. Orange County has the option to rock out and spend their money on a good cause. After all, if the end of the world actually occurs, you can’t take your money with you.
