It's that time of the year again where everybody is trying to think of creative April Fool's pranks for their friends, family, and coworkers. If you're stuck this year, here are 12 creative, harmless April Fool's Day prank ideas to really f*** up someone's day.

1. Buy food and write "April Fools" on it and watch people try to figure out what you did to it

Then you'll just have some awesome home-made cookies to yourself.

2. Put a note on someone's car that reads "sorry about the damage" and watch them look frantically for it

3. Text a gif of the 'typing' symbol to drive your friends crazy

They'll keep waiting for a text that's never coming.

4. Change someone's autocorrect shortcuts

5. Place fake bugs in the lamps and light fixtures

Use DIY spider cutouts to really freak someone out.

6. Replace your roommate's deodorant with whipped cream or cream cheese

7. Substitute ketchup in a jelly donut

The look on their face will be priceless.

8. Make some brown E's for the office

9. Replace your family photos with a celebrity's photos

See just how long it takes someone to notice.

10. Cover soap bars in clear nail polish

11. Replace all the apps on someone's phone screen with a screenshot

They'll be stuck trying to click on their apps, wondering why they won't work or open.

12. Casually eat pudding out of a mayo jar

This one will have everyone wondering if you are disturbed.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
