Tomorrow is one of my favorite days of the year: April Fools’ day. Being a prank enthusiast, I felt it necessary to help all CollegeCandy readers make the most of it. And by ‘most of it’ I mean ‘prank the hell out of someone you know and love.’

If you want to get in on the pranking fun, it’s important to remember a few key rules:

1. Not every prank is going to work. Like that time I tried to douse my roommate in shaving cream…and ended up having to spend the whole day cleaning our dorm room. Woops?
2. Be careful who you prank. Best friend? Good idea. Internship boss who could make or break your future career? Not so much.
3. Have fun with it. Because there’s nothing more fun than a killer prank.

Stumped for the perfect prank? Here are 10 fantastic ideas to inspire you. And if you’ve already got the awesomest prank in mind, these will still make you LOL till you ROTFL. ZOMG!

I wonder how long it took to unwrap that mess!

Lesson Learned: Don’t let your friends become friends with your roommate.

Creepy, yet hysterical.

Everyone knows never to pass out with your shoes on!

So simple, yet so amazing.

Best. Idea. Ever.

I love watching guys scream like 11-year-old girls at a Bieber concert.

Never mess with college boys with too much time on their hands. And always be prepared for flying balls.

Oh, Jim!

File this one under: things I wish I had done

April Fool’s Day is just days away, which means there is little time to plan some much needed pranks. We’ve all got important things like midterms, meetings, internships, and beer pong tournaments to catch up on, but that’s no excuse. Everyone needs to let loose and plan at least a few good pranks, because it’s one of the few days of the year where we can act like a complete a-hole and get away with it.

Believe me, you will regret it if you don’t at least attempt something. Can’t come up with anything clever? Try these bad boys on for size…

iPhone Application Hit your friends where it hurts: their iPhones. Anyone who has one will agree that their phone embodies all that is awesome in this world. Lucky for you, Apple has easy to access applications that will put the fear of god into iPhone lovers everywhere. If the “cracked” application or “iFart mobile” don’t suit your fancy, try making your own.

Naked Hunks Mug This is a magical mug. You see, when you put hot liquid in the “Naked Hunks Mug” his itty-bitty banana hammock disappears. Really, its a treat for everyone involved. Read More »

April Fools’ day and I have never gotten along.

In second grade, my Elementary School decided it would be cute to ring the warning bells every five minutes—you’re late for class… APRIL FOOLS’!

Middle School saw surprise pop quizzes—it’s worth 90% of your grade and you didn’t study—APRIL FOOLS’!!

High School? College? More of the same…

This morning, at midnight on April 1st, my boyfriend paused on the sidewalk, looked at me significantly, and said “Suzie, I’ve decided to go to Med School”—APRIL FOOLS’! (he’s applied to grad and law school so for a minute I was like… omg!– then I saw his smirk and was like… oh right… )

When I saw the Reuters article on pranks this year, however, I had to chuckle at the new heights of advertising that this day of strange glee has allowed two Australian companies to ascend:

Google Australia announced a new feature enabling one to search the Internet for future content, including sports results…

Australian airline Virgin Blue took out ad space in newspapers offering special “Stand Up fares” complete with complimentary calf massages for flights longer than two hours. Read More »
