3 Pranks for the New College Student

August 19th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in college, tips and tricks

You’re headed up to school. You have your list made. You’re not going to forget you Xbox or your textbooks, but have you started to consider prank ideas for the upcoming school year? A big part of dorm life at any university is screwing with each other. I’ve had luck with these pranks, so go ahead and give them a try.

[Warning: It's not my fault if these pranks go terribly wrong, but if they do I would love to hear about it.]

Duct Tape

Duct Tape Doors: Ask any of your roommates for a roll of duct tape and every one of them will have one. You should never go anywhere without one. But what are you going to fix? Your bike? No. Use it to tape up a fellow roommate’s door while they are sleeping. In the morning (or that night, if you can’t wait), watch their attempts at getting out of their rooms. Fortunately, the roommates I chose didn’t have anything to cut the sticky wall down and it was entertaining to watch them try to break the Gorilla Tape’s bond with the door frame.

I got this prank of video. It’s uneventful, but it looks cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2K4S2dBF0g

Cereal Box of Shaving Cream: Yes this actually works. Fill any cereal box with foamy shaving cream. Find a roommate who is in their room with the door closed. QUIETLY, flatten the open end of the box and slide it under the door approximately four of five inches. There are two ways you can go about doing this prank. 1: Just stomp on the box and run, leaving the room covered in foam and the roommate pissed. OR 2: Knock on the door, hope your roommate hasn’t heard of the prank, and then stomp. If your roommate is dumb enough to come to the door they’ll be hit in the face with some serious foam-age.

Axe-bottle

Axe Grenades: In an attempt to appeal to more college-age students, the Axe company decided to pass out samples of their body spray to any student interested. I, being the frugal person that I am, decided to take a whole box back to my room. Now, I grew out of wearing the Axe scent after 7th grade, but I found a much better use.

If you still have that duct tape handy, start tearing off 6inch long pieces. Attach one end of the tape to the side of a can and find your target. It’s best to find an open door with multiple unsuspecting people housed. When you have found your target, pull the other end of the tape over the spray button tightly and throw quickly. The best part is watching the Axe fill the room and your targets have no idea what is going on. Be careful though, an Axe grenade is usually the beginning of a brutal Axe war.

What Every College Student Should Know

Just because you live right next to a public (floor) restroom does not mean you should walk barefoot in it. It’s no different than walking around in some nasty ass gas station bathroom. Don’t do it!

If you use Febreze, it means something is not clean. Febreze does not clean, nor does it make something smell clean, try Tide.

Playing your music so loud that everyone can hear it is not cool. Ask any of your neighbors and they will hate you for it.

Don’t bother trying to change someone’s mind about politics. It will only end up in a contest of who can talk louder.

Stealing someone’s towel while they’re in the shower will only be the beginning of a terrible war. Be prepared for wet clothes, sticky door knobs, and every prank in the book.

No matter where you go, you will always have the cocky high school football player in your proximity. Don’t worry though, it’s not high school anymore.

The half cologne, half body odor, half alcohol musk coming from your room not only makes paint peel, it tells anyone walking by to stay away.
