So it is that time of year when all the kids are going back to school. I, thankfully, never have to partake in this ritual ever again, but a lot of my friends are teachers so I figured I would make them a back-to-school supply list to help them get ready for the new year. The thing is, I have become just as obsessed with Fear the Walking Dead as I am with The Walking Dead, so I decided to include some items that may be more useful if you are attending the fictional Paul Williams High of Fear the Walking Dead.
*FEAR THE WALKING DEAD SPOILERS AHEAD*
*Don’t actually bring any of these to school*
-A pocket knife that wouldn’t even serve as a letter opener: Okay, maybe this should not be included on the list since you shouldn’t bring it to school and it also proves to be worthless in knife to mouth combat with an actual zombie.
-Plenty of Oxy: You never know when that junkie family member will go into withdrawal. It always happens at the most inopportune times like the start of the end of the world and the day of your algebra exam.
-Fire extinguisher: It is always best to be safe and what better way to practice fire safety in school. It also comes in handy when the previously mentioned knife does not.
–Call of the Wild: There is no better way to learn about survival than from Jack London. Not only is this a great book, but it can teach you that when people tell you not to go out into the cold on your own, you probably shouldn’t. Also when they tell you not to go into the zombie hoard, you probably shouldn’t. (*You can bring this one to school*)
-Sharpie markers: Markers are great for making posters for projects and labeling your binders. They also serve as a great way to make temporary tattoos that look like a game of snake. It’s a great way to remember your dying boyfriend. (*Hey, look at that, you can bring these to school too*)
-Crow Bar: These work best for breaking into the school’s drug cabinet as well as for breaking into zombie heads. That is, if you remember to pick it up after you open the cabinet.
-Brown bag lunch: Little known fact, but “school food is made to survive like a nuclear explosion. It’s good until like year 3000.” Whether going to school or setting off into the apocalypse it might be best to just bring your own lunch. (*Also safe to bring to school*)
-Camcorder: This way you can film your lessons. You will never have to take notes again. Also you can document the apocalypse as it happens, or at least capture police brutality on film. (*Check with your school policy before bringing this one*)
