- 50 Fun things to do in a final that does not matter (i.e. you are
- going to fail the class completely no matter what you get on the final
- exam)
-
-
- 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 slippers, a bathrobe, a towel on your
- head, and nothing else.
-
- 15. Come down with a BAD case of Turet'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 **** 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. If it is a written exam, relate everything to your own life
- story.
-
- 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 FOR 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.
-
