It's that time of year, and unfortunately for me, my dear friend and roommate is a HUGE, and I mean HUUUUGEE practical joker. April Fools Day is literally her Christmas. I knew a prank was coming. Here are 10 reasons why it sucks having a roommate who pranks religiously on April Fools Day.
1- you wake up on edge. You know what day it is and what awaits you.
The night before I slept with my door locked. I was hoping she wouldn't prank me while I was sleeping, but I was NOT taking any chances.
2-there are no boundaries. You know they will go after everything and everyone you love.
Not even the bathroom was safe. Our entire suite was yarn bombed and turned into a giant obstacle course. Yarn was in the shower and the bathroom. I repeat. YARN WAS IN THE SHOWER AND THE BATHROOM.
3-you are tempted to lock your door but you know you don't take your key anywhere you go.
Okay the night before was a different story, but during the day I knew not to lock my door or even bother. Knowing me I'd lose my key. Or she'd convince the RA to unlock the door.
4- they are too sneaky so you never know when it will hit.
I spend a lot of time in the room and with my roommate. But somehow I still got pranked without even realizing it was coming.
5-they know all. Your schedule, when you're gone, what time you eat... literally everything.
My schedule hangs on the front wall of our room. And even if it wasn't hanging there I'm positive my roommate would still know where I am at all times.
6-you don't know how extra they are about to be. It can go 0-60 real quick.
All I do is hope and pray that it isn't too severe.
7-it will be captured somehow. You're not living this one down.
When I walked into the room, she was standing ready, phone in hand, snap chat open.
8-there's no revenge. No mater what you do they always win. Always.
Okay this one is kind of a lie. You can always, ALWAYS, get revenge. Just know they will you get back. Even worse than the first prank.
9-it lasts all day. Sometimes it's just the anticipation that kills you the most.
Multiple pranks? Maybe. One giant prank? Possibly. You never know what is coming or when. All you know is that this is a 24 hour event.
10-hide ya kids hide ya wife because they coming after everyone out here. Didn't I say nothing is safe?
NO ONE IS SAFE.
All is fair in love and April Fools.
