Concert tickets in Theatre Lit.

I was in my theatre lit class yesterday when something very unusual happened (go figure.) It seemed like a normal day, just like how every other awkward story starts out, but of course, it wasn't.
We were about to start class when a group of three Seniors behind me raised their hands. They started off by saying that they were trying to get concert tickets, but they were all sold out. Our teacher asks how this has anything to do with anything and they continued by asking if they could call a radio station at a specific time to try and win tickets to this concert. This alone was weird.

Of course, you would expect our teacher to say no and go on with class. But no. This is high school and so anything goes, there are no rules.
Our teacher said that the girl's could call when they needed to as long as they were quiet and respectful during class. So all through class, the girls were as quiet as could be.

Then came time for them to call the radio station. This was probably the funniest thing i have seen in a very long time. One girl called and just when they anwsered, the girl dropped the phone and the station hung up.

I find this ironic. I would have felt bad if i weren't laughing so hard. Oh high school! how you always seem to catch me off guard!

Senior prank (funny)

We've all heard of senior pranks either from your parents or from friends. So we all know that they can go one of two ways, either really bad and not funny at all, or really really funny funny and perfect. It really depends on the nature of the prank and how well you pull it off. Some pranks require a lot of preperation and thought, some do not.

My friend told me a story about her dad's senior prank. This one just so happened to have gone really well, and it was really funny.
So, my friends dad took autoshop in high school (back when autoshop was still acceptable in school) and he was really good at it. He knew all there was to know about cars. So two weeks before school ended, him and a couple of his friends disassembled a car, took the parts up to the roof, and reassembled it.
The next day, everyone was confused at the car on the roof and no one knew how to get it down. It was going really well until the administration figured out that someone in autoshop must have had something to do with it.
Eventually, the principal found out and they were caught. However, the principal was so amazed at the nature of the prank that he decided not to give out punishments other than hving them take down the car.

Senior pranks are amazing. Especially when they have a lot of thought and preperation put into them. The whole point is to have fun, make memories, and maybe piss a few people off. Bonus points if you don't get caught!

WHY?!

High school may be an incredibly scary place but there are times when really funny things happen. What makes funny moments funny in high school is the pure randomness of it. You never know what's gonna happen next and you never know why.
For example, during tests.
I was in Biology yesterday taking a chapter test, totally bored. The whole room was painfully silent. I finished my test, turned it in, and started on my homework. Everyone else was pretty much almost finished and class was almost over. Nothing special was expected to happen. Then again, in high school, you must expect the unexpected.
All of a sudden, a guy three seats to my left raises his hand and the teacher calls on him. He then proceeds, very loudly, to ask if he can blow his nose, completely serious.
the teacher looks at him with a stupid expression and slowly says that he may.
Then, instead of going to get a tissue to blow his nose, he grabs a piece of lined paper from his bag and blows his nose into it.


High School is amazing.


The whole class erupts into a chorus of "ewws" and "whys." After the initial disgusted feeling, the whole class started laughing. Our teacher could not stop laughing and fell on the floor, shaking.

High school is very unexpected, you see things that you never thought you would see ever in your lifetime. The students have such a vivid imagination that, combined with other immature students and angst, can be a pretty amazing mixture. High school never ceases to amaze, and scare, me.
