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.
I heard about a group of drunk students who mistook a campus statue for a real person and started having a conversation with it. They were asking it all sorts of questions and even offered it a drink. It was hilarious to watch from afar.
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.
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, 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.
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.
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.
Once, my friend got drunk at a college party. He thought he was a famous singer and started singing really loudly on a table. Everyone was laughing so hard. He even tried to do some wild dance moves and almost fell off the table.
There was this one girl. After getting drunk, she mistook the potted plant in the corner for her long - lost friend. She sat next to it and started having a one - sided conversation about all the things they used to do together. It was so funny to see her being so affectionate with a plant.
A friend once got drunk and tried to climb into a doghouse, thinking it was his own bed. He curled up in there and started snoring. His dog just sat outside looking very confused.
