Facebook has become a veritable content dump for DIY videos, like this one. As a college student, it can be hard to find recipes or projects that fit your schedule, or, if you are nihilistic, your extreme skepticism about the values of a fulfilling life. I've compiled this list of easy and realistic DIY projects that will please both the average college student, and the average nihilist.
1. Build a fort out of your old textbooks and refuse to leave.
This one is easy. Pick up all of those old books you have lying around, and instead of hawking them on your graduating class' Facebook group, do something useful with them, and build a literary igloo. If you are technically skilled (and a nihilist), try adding a handy self-destruct mechanism, so that when finals roll around, you can pull a string and have the whole thing collapse on top of you. Wow! How useful!
2. Wreath made of D-hall chicken legs.
It's festive, and if you have an unlimited meal plan, it's kind of free! For the nihilist crowd, the smell will serve as an ever-present reminder that everything, including the shelf life of old chicken, is temporary.
3. Make a pipe frame wall shelf out of metal scraps from your dorm's plumbing.
Wow, good thing you've found the utility closet in your freshman dorm! How else would you get the authentic look for your DIY shelves? Plus, these shelves will give you a convenient place to store all the extra to-go boxes full of old chicken meat from that last project of yours. Good news, nihilists: the risk of contracting tetanus will spice up your generally bleak outlook on life.
4. Disappear into the void.
This is the mother of all DIYs. Need I say more?
