The Pros and Cons of Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse

This might seem like a no brainer (excuse the pun). Of course it's better to survive the zombie apocalypse. Choose Life. However on closer inspection, a number of arguments can arise which casts shades of grey upon this apparently monochrome issue.

I will present a list of positives and negatives of life after the zombie apocalypse, which will hopefully serve as a useful guide for consideration, should the need ever arise.

Pro: You get to play with guns

Con: EVERYBODY gets to play with guns

Pro: The requirement to shower or look after yourself will be obsolete

Con: You will live in a world of ugly, smelly people 

Pro: This is a chance to build a new Society

Con: The society will probably dissolve into a rabble of people who serve a tyrannical overlord in the fashion of Jabba the Hut 

Pro: You can loot until your hearts content

Con: You may end up exchanging sexual favours for food. 

Pro: Everybody who told you that preparing for zombie invasion was a waste of time is proved wrong.

Con: These people are probably your close family and friends who have since died horrible horrible deaths. 

Pro: You're alive 

Con: You will live in a world exclusively populated by people who have zombie invasion plans. 

I hope you find this list useful when deciding whether to fight like the devil or lie down and put a paper bag over your head when the crucial moment arrives.

Over Education

Human beings have a natural academic limit, and I have definitely reached the end of mine. Three and a half years of university is more than enough and studying is no longer enjoyable or exciting. You know what sunlight looks like? Because I don't. I've transformed into one of those creatures from the Descent. All blind and pale and covered in mucus. The fact that I am no longer having fun is not the main issue I take with realising I've bitten off more than I can chew. There is a far more dangerous consequence to my decisions.  

It is my belief that all people have a natural capacity for knowledge retention after which no more information can fit into their brain. What happens when new information is presented to the affected person? Something else, something important, gets pushed out.

At first it starts  with the names of acquaintances, or Professors you don't see all that often. After that it moves onto general social skills and the ability to converse with people outside you particular area  of expertise. Finally most of the basic functionality leaves your system, and your motor neuron ability begins to fail. In three short years you go from this:

To this: 

Most people would agree that this is the OPPOSITE of what you want from an advanced education, however it's incredibly easy to overdo it. Your brain just overloads. The sad thing is, that when I'm in a grown up job with taxes and two weeks holiday a year, I'll really miss this.

 Until then though, Fuck You Uni Work.
