10 Overused Pranks To Avoid This April Fool's Day
4vnu

You'd think the fact that April Fool's Day comes around once every year would mean people would be more clever about their pranks. Yet, without fail, every single April 1st the same exact jokes are played out over and over again as if it's the first time. There's only so many times you can be tricked by the same pranks. (If you're someone that falls for or uses the same tricks every single year, please pay attention.)

1. Whoopee cushion

I promise this isn't as funny as you think it is.


2. Toothpaste in Oreos


3. Fake pregnancy post on Facebook

Just don't. Please.


4. Switching bathroom signs

5. Covering cars with Post-its


6. Filling donuts with mayonnaise

Why would you ever want to ruin a perfectly good batch of donuts this way?


7. Using fake insects

Insects are creepy and sometimes terrifying. It would be much appreciated if there weren't fake beetles and cockroaches everywhere.


If you insist on pranking people this April Fool's, avoid this list and maybe you'll be successful. A little creativity goes a long way with practical jokes.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
