This means that this is my last chance to pull April Fool\u2019s pranks on their poor souls, aka a free pass to pull their legs and scare the living daylights outta them! As college students we gotta keep it on a budget though, but that doesn\u2019t stop me from having amazing pranks. We just have to find things around the apartment and make something creative out of it. I decided to start the season of pranking early to show some of you young folks some crazy, weird<b>,<\/b> yet funny pranks you can do quick and practically free.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I started off doing some research online to plot out my pranks for the year. I found some fellow pranksters posted pictures of crazy photos of celebrities throughout<b> <\/b>their house. I decided to take on that idea, for all I had to do was print off a couple pictures. I put a picture of Nicholas Cage in a kitchen cabinet, and Shia Labeouf in our living room window. Nicholas successfully scared both roommates. One scare I got to see in person, and it was hilarious<b>. <\/b>Shia wasn\u2019t as successful. In fact,<b> <\/b>he scared myself more than my roommates, I think. I kept forgetting that he was there. That is okay though, I have a couple more tricks up my sleeve.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2015\/03\/shiasnap.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2333\" alt=\"shiasnap\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2015\/03\/shiasnap.jpg\" width=\"145\" height=\"258\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2015\/03\/scarednicholas.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2331\" alt=\"scarednicholas\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2015\/03\/scarednicholas.jpg\" width=\"193\" height=\"258\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2015\/03\/nicholascage.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2330\" alt=\"nicholascage\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2015\/03\/nicholascage.jpg\" width=\"193\" height=\"258\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For my next trick, I decided to step up the game a little. I found some googly eyes and thought they<b> <\/b>would fun to use. I decided to make everything look like it came to life in my fridge by sticking a pair of eyes on all them. This prank was a little more tedious and messy trying to glue on all the eyes. This was a bit more entertaining; the roommates also weren\u2019t as scared as they were of Nicholas Cage\u2019s face from the earlier prank.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2015\/03\/eyes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2328\" alt=\"eyes\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2015\/03\/eyes.jpg\" width=\"346\" height=\"259\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2015\/03\/fridge.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2329\" alt=\"fridge\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2015\/03\/fridge.jpg\" width=\"207\" height=\"277\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While I was doing my research I had also saw another prank of someone who hung hot dogs from strings all over the ceiling. Unfortunately I did not have hot dogs, I did have sliced bread though! So of course I tied slices of bread to the ceiling. After I got them all up there I thought they looked a little boring. I decided to spice it up and put my leftover googly eyes on all of the pieces of bread and make faces on them. I would say by far this was my weirdest yet creative prank I had this year. The roommates\u2019 reactions were also pretty great as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2015\/03\/bread.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2326\" alt=\"bread\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2015\/03\/bread.jpg\" width=\"207\" height=\"277\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully these ideas gave you some inspiration to pull a few good-humor pranks this trickery season.
