One of the funniest pranks was when students changed the campus radio station's playlist to only play really old and cheesy love songs all day. People were so confused at first, but then they started to enjoy it. It made the whole campus seem like it was stuck in a different era for a day.
One really funny prank involved a family. The kids took all of their dad's shoes and hid them around the house. He spent hours looking for them. He was getting really frustrated until he realized it was a prank. Then he joined in on the fun and started looking for them with the kids. It was a great family moment filled with laughter. There was also a prank where a person changed the language settings on their roommate's phone to a foreign language. The roommate was so confused when they tried to use their phone.
A really memorable prank was when my siblings filled my shoes with whipped cream. I put my feet in without looking and had a big mess on my feet. Also, my sister once put a mirror in front of the door so when I opened it, I thought there was someone standing there. It gave me a good scare. And my brother used to move my things around my room when I was asleep so that I would wake up and think my room was haunted.
One memorable story was during the college orientation. There was a scavenger hunt. One of the items on the list was a picture with the oldest professor on campus. A group of freshmen ran around the whole campus trying to find this elusive professor. When they finally found him, he was so confused but agreed to take the picture. They were so excited to complete the task.
I remember a story from 2023 where a little kid at a park thought a statue was a real person and started having a full - blown conversation with it. The kid was asking questions like 'Why are you so quiet?' and waiting for an answer. It was really cute and funny.
I remember at a college homecoming, there was a 'find the hidden treasure' event on campus. The 'treasure' was a small statue of the school's founder. Well, a group of students got so excited and competitive that they accidentally dug up a water pipe instead. Water started spraying everywhere and they were all slipping and sliding around. And during the homecoming carnival, there was a dunk tank. The dean of students agreed to be in it. But every time someone threw the ball, the mechanism wouldn't work properly, so he just sat there looking smug while the crowd booed and laughed.
Well, once a student tried to ride a skateboard down the stairs in the library to show off. But he lost control and ended up crashing into a bookshelf. The bookshelf wobbled and a bunch of books fell on him. He was okay, just a bit embarrassed. It was really funny seeing him emerge from under all those books.
There was this applicant who wrote an entire essay about how much he hated studying but still wanted to go to college just for the parties. He was brutally honest, which might seem refreshing at first, but it's not exactly what colleges are looking for. His rejection was expected, and his story has been told as a humorous example of what not to do in a college application. This story also highlights the importance of understanding the purpose of a college application essay.
I know a story where a boy was really bad at a particular subject and the girl was a genius in it. She offered to tutor him. During those tutoring sessions, they not only improved his grades but also fell in love. They would have coffee breaks in between and talk about everything other than the subject sometimes. It was a cute story of how love can start from an academic setting.
My friend has a Roomba that has a habit of getting attracted to shiny things. One day, it chased a coin all around the living room until it finally sucked it up. Then it seemed so proud of itself, like it had found a great treasure. Also, my own Roomba once managed to climb onto a small rug and got stuck there. It was just spinning in place, and when I went to check, it looked like it was trying to do some sort of crazy stunt.
There was a man who accidentally fell asleep during his MRI. He was snoring really loudly and the technicians were trying hard not to laugh. When he woke up, he had no idea what had happened and was confused as to why they were all smiling. It was a hilarious moment.
