50 Fun Things to do at Finals
1.Bring a pillow. Fall asleep (or pretend to) until
the last
15 minutes. Wake up, say "oh geez,
better get cracking" and
do some gibberish work. Turn it in a few
minutes early.
2.Get a copy of the exam, run out screaming
"Andre, Andre,
I've got the secret documents!!"
3.If it is a math/science exam, answer in essay
form. If it
is long answer/essay form, answer with
numbers and
symbols. Be creative. Use the integral
symbol.
4.Make paper airplanes out of the exam. Aim them at
the
instructor's left nostril.
5.Talk the entire way through the exam. Read
questions aloud,
debate your answers with yourself out loud.
If asked to
stop, yell out, "I'm SOOO sure you can
hear me thinking."
Then start talking about what a jerk the
instructor is.
6.Bring cheerleaders.
7.Walk in, get the exam, sit down. About five
minutes into it,
loudly say to the instructor, "I don't
understand ANY of
this. I've been to every lecture all
semester long! What's
the deal? And who the hell are you? Where's
the regular
guy?"
8.Bring a Game Boy (or Game Gear, etc...). Play with
the
volume at max level.
9.On the answer sheet (book, whatever) find a new,
interesting
way to refuse to answer every question. For
example: I
refuse to answer this question on the
grounds that it
conflicts with my religious beliefs. Be
creative.
10.Bring pets.
11.Run into the exam room looking about frantically.
Breathe
a sigh of relief. Go to the instructor, say
"They've found
me, I have to leave the country" and
run off.
12.Fifteen minutes into the exam, stand up, rip up all the
papers into very small pieces, throw them
into the air and
yell out "Merry Christmas." If
you're really daring, ask
for another copy of the exam. Say you lost
the first one.
Repeat this process every fifteen minutes.
13.Do the exam with crayons, paint, or fluorescent markers.
14.Come into the exam wearing a pair of birkenstocks, and
nothing else.
15.Come down with a BAD case of Tourette's Syndrome during
the exam. Be as vulgar as possible.
16.Do the entire exam in another language. If you don't
know
one, make one up! For math/science exams,
try using
Roman numerals.
17.Bring things to throw at the instructor when s/he's not
looking. Blame it on the person nearest to
you.
18.As soon as the instructor hands you the exam, eat it.
19.Walk into the exam with an entourage. Claim you are
going
to be taping your next video during the
exam. Try to get
the instructor to let them stay, be
persuasive. Tell the
instructor to expect a percentage of the
profits if they
are allowed to stay.
20.Every five minutes, stand up, collect all your things,
move to another seat, continue with the
exam.
21.Turn in the exam approximately 30 minutes into it. As
you
walk out, start commenting on how easy it
was.
22.Do the entire exam as if it was multiple choice and
true/false. If it is a multiple choice
exam, spell out
interesting things (DCCAB, BABE, etc..).
23.Bring a black marker. Return the exam with all
questions
and answers completely blacked out.
24.Get the exam. Twenty minutes into it, throw your papers
down violently, scream out "Fuck
this!" and walk out
triumphantly.
25.Arrange a protest before the exam starts (i.e. Threaten
the instructor that whether or not
everyone's done, they
are all leaving after one hour to go
drink).
26.Show up completely drunk. (Completely drunk means at
some
point during the exam, you should start
crying for mommy).
27.Every now and then, clap twice rapidly. If the
instructor
asks why, tell him/her in a very derogatory
tone, "the light
bulb that goes on above my head when I get
an idea is
hooked up to a clapper. DUH!"
28.Comment on how sexy the instructor is looking that day.
29.Come to the exam wearing a black cloak. After about 30
minutes, put on a white mask and start
yelling "I'm here,
the phantom of the opera" until they
drag you away.
30.Go to an exam for a class you have no clue about, where
you
know the class is very small, and the
instructor would
recognize you if you belonged. Claim that
you have been
to every lecture. Fight for your right to
take the exam.
31.Upon receiving the exam, look it over, while laughing
loudly, say "you don't really expect
me to waste my time on
this drivel? Days of our Lives is
on!!!"
32.Bring a water pistol with you. Nuff said.
33.From the moment the exam begins, hum the theme to
Jeopardy.
Ignore the instructor's requests for you to
stop. When they
finally get you to leave one way or
another, begin whistling
the theme to the Bridge on the River Kwai.
34.Start a brawl in the middle of the exam.
35.If the exam is math/science related, make up the
longest
proofs you could possibly think of. Get pi
and imaginary
numbers into most equations.
36.Come in wearing a full knight's outfit, complete with
sword
and shield.
37.Bring a friend to give you a back massage the entire
way
through the exam. Insist this person is
needed, because you
have bad circulation.
38.Bring cheat sheets FROM ANOTHER CLASS (make sure this
is
obvious... like history notes for a
calculus exam...
otherwise you're not just failing, you're
getting kicked out,
too) and staple them to the exam with the
comment
"Please use the attached notes for
references as you see fit."
39.When you walk in, complain about the heat. Strip.
40.After you get the exam, call the instructor over, point
to any question, ask for the answer. Try to
work it out of
him/her.

42.Bring balloons, blow them up, start throwing them
around
like they do before concerts start.
43.Try to get people in the room to do the wave.
44.Play frisbee with a friend at the other side of the room.
45.Bring some large, cumbersome, ugly idol. Put it right
next
to you. Pray to it often. Consider a small
sacrifice.
46.Get deliveries of candy, flowers, balloons, telegrams,
etc...
sent to you every few minutes throughout
the exam.
47.During the exam, take apart everything around you.
Desks,
chairs, anything you can reach.
48.Complete the exam with everything you write being
backwards at a 90 degree angle.
49.Bring a musical instrument with you, play various
tunes.
If you are asked to stop, say "it
helps me think." Bring a
copy of the Student Handbook with you,
challenging the
instructor to find the section on musical
instruments during
finals. Don't forget to use the phrase
"Told you so".
50.Answer the exam with the
"Top Ten Reasons Why Professor
xxxx Sucks".
