I remember at a college homecoming, there was a 'find the hidden treasure' event on campus. The 'treasure' was a small statue of the school's founder. Well, a group of students got so excited and competitive that they accidentally dug up a water pipe instead. Water started spraying everywhere and they were all slipping and sliding around. And during the homecoming carnival, there was a dunk tank. The dean of students agreed to be in it. But every time someone threw the ball, the mechanism wouldn't work properly, so he just sat there looking smug while the crowd booed and laughed.
One memorable story was when the preacher's dog got loose during the homecoming service. The dog ran up on the stage and started barking at the choir. The preacher tried to catch it but ended up slipping and falling, much to the amusement of the congregation.
One memorable story was during the college orientation. There was a scavenger hunt. One of the items on the list was a picture with the oldest professor on campus. A group of freshmen ran around the whole campus trying to find this elusive professor. When they finally found him, he was so confused but agreed to take the picture. They were so excited to complete the task.
Well, there was this time at a small town's Homecoming Sunday. They had a parade and one of the floats had a mechanical cow that was supposed to moo. But instead, it started making a really strange screeching noise. The people on the float were trying to fix it while the parade continued, and it was hilarious.
Well, once a student tried to ride a skateboard down the stairs in the library to show off. But he lost control and ended up crashing into a bookshelf. The bookshelf wobbled and a bunch of books fell on him. He was okay, just a bit embarrassed. It was really funny seeing him emerge from under all those books.
There was this applicant who wrote an entire essay about how much he hated studying but still wanted to go to college just for the parties. He was brutally honest, which might seem refreshing at first, but it's not exactly what colleges are looking for. His rejection was expected, and his story has been told as a humorous example of what not to do in a college application. This story also highlights the importance of understanding the purpose of a college application essay.
Well, I tutored a guy in history. He was supposed to remember the dates of important events. But he made up this whole story about how the Battle of Hastings happened because the two leaders had an argument over a piece of cake. It was completely wrong but so funny. He later realized his mistake but still liked his made - up version better.
There was a memorable case where a student filled out the application form for a college in a different language by mistake. He thought it was just a really in - depth form about his language skills. The college was so impressed by his accidental display of confidence in a new language that they actually gave him an interview. Also, a student wrote an essay about how his dog ate his first attempt at an application essay, and then he had to rewrite it in a rush, which led to some really creative and funny writing.
In college, during a drunken night, a student tried to ride a bicycle backwards. He was so convinced he could do it and ended up crashing into a bush. His friends still tease him about it to this day. It was one of those moments that made college life more interesting and full of laughter.
One of the funniest pranks was when students changed the campus radio station's playlist to only play really old and cheesy love songs all day. People were so confused at first, but then they started to enjoy it. It made the whole campus seem like it was stuck in a different era for a day.
Sure. One time at our college homecoming, the mascot's costume got stuck in a fence while trying to do a little pre - parade stunt. The poor guy was flailing around and the whole crowd was laughing so hard. Another story is that a group of students decided to do a synchronized dance routine during the homecoming talent show but half of them forgot the steps and it turned into a hilarious mess.
