Half of the fun of living in college dorms comes from drunkenly hooking up with random classmates then awkwardly avoiding them for the rest of the semester (at least, in my experience it was). The rest, however, comes from the timeless art of pulling pranks on unsuspecting friends (and foes).

From the classic “rude awakening” to the innovative, yet wholly unhygienic “bag of poop” gag, the sky is the limit when it comes pulling one over on your dorm room neighbors.

While I encourage each and every one of you to think outside of the box this spring, you can always fall back on one of these classic pranks, if you are ever hard-pressed for ideas.
