A student once wrote an application essay that was a completely made - up story about being abducted by aliens and how that experience made him want to study astronomy. The admissions officers were so amused by his creativity that they actually considered him seriously. Another funny one was when a student submitted a self - portrait drawn by his 5 - year - old sister as part of his art portfolio, thinking it would show his family - friendly side.
Sure. One of my friends accidentally sent his application essay full of typos because his cat jumped on the keyboard right before he clicked submit. Another story is about a student who wrote an entire essay about how he was inspired by his love for pizza to study business, thinking outside the box in a really funny way.
Sure. I heard about a guy who accidentally sent his application to the wrong company. He was applying for a job at a tech startup but sent it to a bakery. The bakery owner thought it was so hilarious that he actually called the guy and offered him a part - time job to help with their online orders and marketing, which the guy took while still looking for his tech job.
There was a memorable case where a student filled out the application form for a college in a different language by mistake. He thought it was just a really in - depth form about his language skills. The college was so impressed by his accidental display of confidence in a new language that they actually gave him an interview. Also, a student wrote an essay about how his dog ate his first attempt at an application essay, and then he had to rewrite it in a rush, which led to some really creative and funny writing.
Sure. One time in college, my roommate was so tired from studying all night that he fell asleep during an exam. The professor noticed and gently tapped his desk to wake him up. My roommate, still half - asleep, blurted out 'Just five more minutes, Mom!' Everyone in the class couldn't stop laughing.
Sure. There was this one time in my college when a group of students decided to have a water balloon fight in the quad. They filled hundreds of balloons, but just as they were about to start, the campus security showed up. The students tried to act nonchalant, hiding the balloons behind their backs. It was hilarious to see their guilty faces.
Sure. One time at our college homecoming, the mascot's costume got stuck in a fence while trying to do a little pre - parade stunt. The poor guy was flailing around and the whole crowd was laughing so hard. Another story is that a group of students decided to do a synchronized dance routine during the homecoming talent show but half of them forgot the steps and it turned into a hilarious mess.
Sure. There was a time in my college when a student accidentally walked into the wrong classroom during an exam. He sat down, started answering the questions, and only realized his mistake half an hour later when he noticed the different exam papers. Everyone in the class couldn't stop laughing.
Well, in one college football game, the quarterback was about to make a long pass. But a big gust of wind blew his hat right off his head at that moment. He was so focused on the pass that he didn't notice at first. By the time he realized, the pass had already gone wrong. His hatless and confused look made the whole stadium burst into laughter.
I heard about a college freshman who was so excited for his first college party. He dressed up all fancy. But when he got there, he realized it was a costume party and he was the only one not in a costume. He tried to play it cool but ended up being the center of jokes all night.
One of the funniest college rejection stories I've heard was about a guy who sent in his application with a really creative but completely off - topic essay. He wrote about his adventures in training his pet squirrel instead of something related to academics or his goals. Needless to say, he got rejected, but his story has been passed around as a humorous cautionary tale among students applying to college.
Sure. Once in my biology class, the professor was trying to explain the concept of evolution. He made some really funny gestures imitating how early humans might have walked. Everyone was laughing so hard that we almost forgot we were in class.
