Now now, I know you dear reader are thinking, “Why the hell have I not thought about the possibility of a zombie outbreak at UPEI?†I mean we university students bear a strange semblance to zombies — overly tired bags of flesh trudging from class A to B to C then dragging ourselves to a dead-beat job, fueled only by hunger and fear. Jokes aside, how should we handle such a serious and realistic situation?
What would be the most important things to consider during such an apocalypse?
a. Food and WaterÂ
I bet you wouldn’t have guessed that one.
b. Medical Supplies
Well in case you get a boo boo, big or small.
c. Weapons
A bat for zombies and a gun for bigger zombies.
d. Entertainment
You should make surviving fun or else what are you doing?

From my little masterpiece, you can identify where on campus to find and gather your basic survival needs. There are only two places that I think would serve as the ultimate safehouses:Â
- Robertson library is the better location in my opinion; having the café as a bunker, plus it’s near to the medical supplies in the AVC, the food bank in Chaplaincy Centre and the pantry from the dining hall. Â
- The Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre could be argued to be better; the water from the pools, you could get useful tools from the gym or security services buildings, and Subway’s pantry. Â
Additional tips:
-Cardio
-Fill all available containers with water, dump all soda, water is key.
-The plants and seeds from building 28 could provide a sustainable supply of food.
-You`ll hold your own better with a bat than a gun unless you are the next Deadshot.
-Cardio
– Nick the booze from The Fox and Crow
-Did I mention cardio?Â
Good luck and happy hunting!
