Pranks To Pull At Work
Lovelace Media

Have you ever watched "The Office" and thought "I wish I could be the Jim of my work, but I know I would get fired for doing any of those things?" Me too. Fortunately, I have not given up on pranking and messing with my co-workers. I live for it. I'm constantly going through my day thinking of how I can mess with people. While your situation of work may differ from mine, here are the four "pranks" I constantly pull that you can draw inspiration from.

1. Putting Tape Over the Scanners

I love this one because you may not know who is going to use the scanner next. What's even better, they're usually helping a customer so they can't say anything to you until after they're done. You just get to sit back and laugh.

2. Putting Sticky Notes All Over Someone's Desk

This one is very harmless, but still so annoying. The more sticky notes equals a more annoyed person. This one is my favorite one to do with my bosses' desk. Writing funny messages on them is a bonus.

3. Sticking Things on People's Backs

Although in the picture I used a sticky note, this also works with tape, stickers, name tags, really anything sticky. This takes incredible skill to be able to do this without them finding out. Practicing sticking a note on their back without them noticing is a good way to pass time. Just make sure you tell them at the end of the day so they don't wash their shirt with it on it.

4. Putting Name Tags in the Freezer

I do this one a lot; probably once a day. Usually, with the same person's name tag. We may or may not have an ongoing war. The name tag doesn't have to be hidden in just the freezer. Lockers, high shelves and bowls are other good places. Another tip: you get the most impact out of it if you hide it in the middle of their shift instead of before or after.

Have fun doing these pranks and any others that you come up with, but remember not to be destructive of people's property.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. 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.
