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.
Sure. One of my friends accidentally sent his application essay full of typos because his cat jumped on the keyboard right before he clicked submit. Another story is about a student who wrote an entire essay about how he was inspired by his love for pizza to study business, thinking outside the box in a really funny way.
One horror story is when a student sent in all their application materials on time, but the college's system crashed. They were left in limbo not knowing if their application was received. They had to constantly call and email the admissions office, and it caused a great deal of stress during an already nerve - wracking time.
Double - check everything. Before submitting, review all the forms, statements, and uploaded documents multiple times to catch any errors like typos or missing information.
There was this classmate who was always in a hurry. One day, he ran into the wrong classroom thinking it was our English class. He sat down, took out his books, and started answering the roll call. It was only when the teacher started teaching math that he realized his mistake. He turned so red and quickly left, which was hilarious.
Once, my roommate thought it would be funny to hide all my left shoes. I was running late for class and couldn't find any of them. When I finally found them in the microwave (of all places), we both had a great laugh.
Sure. I heard about a guy who accidentally sent his application to the wrong company. He was applying for a job at a tech startup but sent it to a bakery. The bakery owner thought it was so hilarious that he actually called the guy and offered him a part - time job to help with their online orders and marketing, which the guy took while still looking for his tech job.
A young man applying for a position at a zoo sent a video resume. In the video, he was trying to imitate different animal sounds while introducing himself. It was really funny and the zoo staff loved it. They thought he would be a great addition to their educational programs. So they hired him.
I was tutoring a group of students in chemistry. One of them accidentally mixed up the chemicals in a really strange way. Instead of the expected reaction, there was a small puff of colored smoke. Everyone was shocked at first, but then we all burst out laughing. It was a great reminder of how unpredictable experiments can be.
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.
