Tell Your Friends To Prepare Themselves For These 13 Epic Pranks To Pull On April Fool's

April Fool's is my favorite holiday!! It's actually a pretty big deal in my family. My mom has convinced my sister and I to get up and go to school on a Saturday and my aunt convinced my mom that she was being robbed. We've had some pretty great pranks so far! Here are some classic pranks you can pull on your family, friends, or even strangers if you're feeling extra crazy!

1. Saran wrap on the toilet seat

All you have to do is put Saran wrap over the toilet bowl, under the seat, and pull it tight so you can't see it if you're not really paying attention. Then you put the seat down and wait for the fun! Let's just say this one requires some clean up after the fact.

2. Newspaper the door

This one works on any door!! Just get a newspaper and tape up the papers around the door so the person in the room will open the door and they'll be so confused when they walk into a wall of newspaper!

3. Short-sheet the bed

Unmake someone's bed, take the top sheet and fold it in half hamburger style, tuck it in so the opening is at the pillow, then when the person gets into the bed they can't stretch out their legs.

4. Sleeping hand in water

When someone is asleep, put their hand in a bowl of water and they'll wet the bed!! Maybe don't do this if the person moves around a lot when they sleep because then the bed will be wet but not in a funny way.

5. Airhorn as a door wall protector

Tape an airhorn to the wall where the handle reaches the wall then when someone opens the door all the way the air horn goes off when the handle hits it!

6. Water cups in a room

Take a bunch of Dixie Cups and fill them with water. Then spread the cups around the room so there's no room for anyone to walk in. The person who lives there won't be able to get into their room!

7. Jam the drawers

You can do this on a desk or a bureau. All you have to do is jam the drawers so they can only open a couple inches- yes this idea is from Jim from The Office.

8. Chicken soup shower

Unscrew the shower head and put a bouillon cube in there where the water comes out. Nothing better than taking a hot, steamy soup shower!

9. Chewbacca roar contest

Put up a poster in your community about any kind of annoying contest (Chewbacca roar is just an example) and leave instructions on that poster to submit your best roar to your friends cell phone number. Include the requirement to leave a voicemail if the person doesn't pick up. Then your friend will have a ton of annoying calls and messages of Chewbacca roars!

10. Upside down water in a cup

Sounds kinda dumb, but what kind of prank isn't dumb? Put water in a cup and place it upside down on the table. To clean it up, the person who's being pranked will have to pick up the cup, spilling water everywhere!

11. Change your name in your friends phone to "Mom"

What are some messages people would never want to get from their moms? I'm sure you can thing of some funny things to say impersonating a mom! Have fun with it! But be careful not to do anything too serious.

12. Not your average OJ

Replace the OJ in your fridge with water and powdered cheese from a mac and cheese box. Don't waste the OJ though! Maybe just put it into a different container in the fridge!

13. The all-time classic: rubber band around the sink sprayer

I'm pretty sure this is self-explanatory but basically all you have to do is wrap a rubber band around the sprayer so when you turn on the sink it soaks the person standing in front of the sink.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.
