Who needs to go to class? Who needs to study? Here is a list of things to do when bored in the dorms at ole' BMC:

Everything on this list has been tried and tested, so feel free to try the following suggestions at any time:

Randomly hide your old shoes around campus.
Follow your roommate around with a can of Lysol and spray everything he/she touches.

Hide under your suite mate's bed, wait for them to turn out the lights and get in bed, then reveal yourself.
Steal your roommate's clothes while they are in the shower.
Yell "shut up" out of your window when the maintenance men are out there being too loud too early in the morning.
Dress up in an over-sized white dress shirt, white socks pulled all the way up, and a pair of black sunglasses. (Pull your hair back if necessary.) Go out in the hall, knock on people's doors, run away, then when they open up, slide by in front of them in your socked feet like Tom Cruise in Risky Business.
Each time you hear "man on the hall," play "It's Raining Men" for all to hear.
Borrow costumes (like nun habits) from the theatre department and go to Wal-Mart.
Steal one of your suite mate's bed posts and see if they notice.
Make dance videos.
Call the security guard and ask him what he's wearing.
Randomly hide a life-sized picture of a pirate around your suite mate's room, sometimes with special notes attached. (For example, opening your drawer to discover a pirate with a caption that says "I always knew I'd get into your drawers someday" is pretty sneaky/freaky.)
Wear underwear two sizes too big just because you can.
Climb out on top of the porch at Stevens and bombard people walking by with water balloons and shoot them with water pistols. (Be sure to get down and shut up when Renita comes out.)
Go out and buy a potato to represent each person in your suite. Draw or paint on them to look like you. Keep them all together until one day, you sneakily steal your roommate's and replace it with a ransom note.
When someone leaves their underwear on the floor in the hallway, place caution tape surrounding it.
Dress in ratty clothes, mess up your hair, and dirty up your face. Then have a friend take pictures of you eating duck food by the pond, attempting to drink pond water, and climbing in the dumpster with a spoon. Then use the pictures to make a "Feed the Children" flyer and send it home to your parents, begging them for food money.
Yell unusual and awkward words out in the hall.
Provoke a crazy mockingbird to attack you.
Do stupid things in front of the dean.
Play mini-golf in the hall.
Get up in the empty entertainment center in the parlor at Stevens. Then, entertain everybody.
Call the admissions office from your cell and ask if it's one of those "How am I Driving" numbers.
Chase cars around campus like a dog.
Sneak kittens into the dorm.
Put up pictures of Fabio in front of the toilet for your roommate to find.
Hide in your roommate's closet and say "Boo" when they open. (It scared me pretty bad a couple times!)
Give gag gifts to people of another society that claim it's from their secret pal.
Get in yearbook pictures you're not supposed to be in.
