College students are rioting. They appear in mobs, running down campus streets in no apparent direction. For what? Clowns.

Our worst childhood memories have come to life. Your parents can't tell you that clowns are harmless forms of entertainment anymore; they are popping up faster than ever. Some have been shown on numerous videos on social media chasing cars, while others stand completely motionless. I'm not sure which one is more frightening.

The last thing we're gonna do is let some middle aged men in cheap makeup ruin our college experience, so we're gonna revolt! Look no further: I am here to guide you to hunting clowns effectively.

1. Don't.

Do any of you watch scary movies? Did you not make fun of how stupid the characters were for running straight into danger?

You are embodying the dumb college students you make fun of on one-star rated netflix films.

All I know is that if I ever saw a clown within a 100 foot radius of me, I would floor it. You'd see me running faster than I ever have in my entire life. There's no instinct in my body that makes me fascinated by what would happen if I ran towards it. This isn't like the zoo where you can attempt to poke animals with a stick. These are real people that may or may not be armed and extremely dangerous.

So use your "the one girl who turns out to be smarter than we thought" instinct and don't go towards the creepy clown by the corn field/woods. Also, hypothetically, what were you going to do if you actually saw one other than try to get a decent snapchat story? Don't fall subject to natural selection.
