college

Having a noisy neighbor who keeps you from sleeping can feel like literal torture. After it kept getting worse, this dude took matters, and aux cords, into his own hands. Here's a similar story of a guy who got cunning revenge on his noisy neighbors.

College can be a time for self discovery, as well as realizing who you never want to live with or see again for the rest of your life. This particular roommate thought they could get out of a moving fee by having a feud with their roommate, and they ended up backing themselves into a corner. For another roommate revenge story, here are nurses who took revenge on their roommate.

Caffeine makes you more alert, and college students want to be more alert, so naturally they take the effects of caffeine to their  limits. For more stories about people doing stupid things, here are people's high risk low reward moments. For more junk from Tumblr's trunk, here are various Tumblr Gems to keep the day moving.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the biggest lies that people heard about college. As it turns out, sometimes college isn't as tough and completely soul-grinding as it's made out to be. Or, on the flip side, folks share that it's not necessary to go to college to avoid finding oneself in an unwanted life situation. In fact, so many are out there crushing it with no college background. It ultimately comes down to what one wants to do. No telling what the final outcome will be. 

This power-tripping old school professor demanded all phone calls be taken publicly, so naturally, a cunning student took advantage of the situation. For school drama, here are times school presentations went off the rails as well as a teacher who lost half their class's papers and tried to fail them all.

It's all about the context here in this particular AITA. Dad had saved money for his son's college fund, which ultimately didn't end up getting used, because his son decided to drop out. Fast forward, and the son is asking his dad if he could tap into the college fund for what sounds like newlywed expenses/alleviating debt. Dad was not about it, because the whole point of the money was for it to be used for college. 

Believing that the elite college your daddy got you into makes you better than the people are around you is some rude BS. If you are the type of person who likes to namedrop their college, other people are laughing at you behind your back. This Tumblr user has a graceful strategy to keep jackasses from casually mentioning their fancy schooling. For some college themed entitlement, here's a college slacker who demanded a classmate's notes and got denied. And here's just some fun gems from Tumblr.

We're not sure if you get any scholarships for claiming to be part lizard-person, but if anyone in the admissions office knows anything about DnD this person is screwed. Since it's this person's parents fault for perpetuating snake-descent, here are salty adults sharing the unjust lies they were told as kids.

For whatever reason, almost every printing policy is stupid. Whether you work somewhere with one, or go to school, there's always some sort of wast-of-money plan that never seems to work out in your favor. There's even another dude who complied with his school's unfair printing fee by using every printer at once.

A bad roommate can make your home a living hell. When this student noticed their roommate was stealing their stuff, things got serious. This sort of strategy happens with food too, like this guy who ended up baking a cake full of habeneros. 

Leave it to the wonderful and creative minds of the Tumblr community to hatch up the next genius plot twist for the infamous Addams Family storyline. This clearly needs to be the basis for the next movie. Great stuff here. 

One of the more annoying parts of working hard at school is having to deal with people who don't take it seriously and just try to skate through without learning anything. The world has a lot of entitled morons that seem resistant to caring about the people around them. The fact that this person doesn't do their homework and just expects notes is frustrating enough. Maybe it's for the best that they probably won't end up as someone's doctor...

School is one of the first times in life that you realize you're in a vast system that you have little control over. When it comes to grading, some people play things by the book, don't even resort to incredibly creative cheating, and still get points taken off for a total BS reason. Most teachers are sensible people who have their students best interest in mind, but there are others who just want to see the future burn. Teachers can be incredibly weird like that.

This guy just wanted to help out some "family friends" who very well might've been gangsters. He ended up volunteering his services for taking one of the guy's daughters along to a frat party. The complication in that plan was that she was notorious for being "boy crazy" and he didn't end up keeping a close eye on her. Fortunately, his moment of panic when his life likely flashed before his eyes, gave way to a simple joke. Phew. 

College can have weird and rigid rules, but sometimes there are ways to fight back within the confines of the system, like this guy who complied with his school's unfair printing fee by using every printer at once. In this case, a class wouldn't let him get out of the final for being sick, so he decided to play it up.

With all the stuff we've heard of and experienced with helicopter parents in the last few decades, it's refreshing to see someone actually stand up to their mom who's trying to control their social life while not under their roof. Hell, dude, it's college. You don't want to experience college life while your mom watches.
