Everyone is taking advantage of the renewed paranormal obsession that has begun to affect the younger population. This is most evident in the slew of paranormal books, movies, and television shows that have hit the shelves. And one of the biggest consumer groups of these products is found on every campus in America.
With the epic success of Twilight it is no surprise that everyone is giving their products a paranormal twist. For example, we recently had a blood drive on campus and the slogan was “Starve a vampire. Give Blood.” But it's not vampires that seem to be making headlines lately, but zombies. More and more students are organizing "Humans vs Zombies" games on campus with much success.
As one student said, “it’s a great way to meet new people.” The entire ordeal is basically a more complicated game of tag. In a place where maturity growth seems to come to screeching halt.
And some students have even found a way to tie these activities to their studies. A few students, with the help of their quirky professor, have even created a mathematical model of how the world would fare against an actual zombie attack. Models such as this have also been used to determine how to handle real pandemics such as H1N1.
The students here at Georgia Tech are even attempting to have their own zombie invasion this coming February.
