I can't think of any good ones from college, but when I was student teaching my kids pulled a great one on me!
I use clips from movies to illustrate points in history (the books I was using had a really good set that went along or I show 5-10 minutes of films) so while they were coming in I had it set up for where I wanted it to start and just turned off the TV, so when I got to the point I just had to turn it on. So imagine my surprise when I'm talking and all of a sudden the TV comes on... I looked over and both of the remotes were sitting on my desk. Ok, whatever, that's weird. Go over and turn off the TV. A few minutes later the same thing happened... The students are laughing, I'm laughing trying to figure out what is going on... I then notice a student has brought into class another remote for the TV and was using it to be funny! It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen in a class! Apparently he had done it to another teacher as well! |
Transfer Day
Okay...this isn't my college classes but, it was still funny. I went with my boyfriend to a transfer day at an Ivy League University. Keep in mind you want to put your best foot forward-I mean...it's a VERY good school.
I sat with him as people asked the Admissions Counselors questions during a discussion about the school. My boyfriend and I were sitting in the SCIENCE building for all SCIENCE MAJORS at this school. Imagine our surprise when half the people didn't realize they were expected to take some sort of biology or chemistry prior to applying for transfer to this Ivy League school. People moaned and groaned as they questioned what they should do since their first two years at Community College was taken in liberal arts. The best was when this really self-absorbed guy raised his hand after looking at the list of classes expected of all science majors. He looked up from the paper of class requirements and asked, "Ummmm...excuse me. It says here that we need 8 credits of biology. I was wondering where I could go for that since my community college doesn't offer any 8 credit courses." The room just got silent and the look on the Admissions Counsler's face was priceless. She looked at him (trying too keep a straight face or at least a face that didn't denote how shocked she truly was) and said, "That means 8 credits over the course of two semesters. It means two 4-credit science classes with a lab." WOW-and these people want to transfer? I'm no science major but, I can tell you that I knew the answer to that question too. I mean-WOW! |
This one is a favorite of mine that happened to a friend a long time ago.
My friend (We'll call her K) was about to audition to be a music ed major and the day of her audition had come. At the Fine Arts Center she got met with the professor, got her clarinet assembled and warmed up. Before she went in to audition she mentioned to her father that she really wasn't feeling well. He advised to just go through the audition as quickly as possible so she could go home. After playing her prepared pieces the professor starts to give her a critique and what she could improve on. "Okay, K, let's start here at this double bar line(Keeping in mind that they are almost shoulder to shoulder)..." K turned to voice her agreement when she projectile vomited on the professor. The professor starts to clean himself up and says, "I think we're done here." K replied, "I think so too." K returned to the hallway and found her father. He asked how it went, to which K said in a matter-of-fact way, "Dad, I threw up on him." Her dad understood that they should make a hasty retreat. A few weeks later she received a sizable letter from the music department, congratulating her for being accepted into the major! I guess the lesson is of you want to go far in life, throw up on people? |
