Stories that involve road trips, crazy professors, pranks, and small rebellions.
1) I had a crazy lady English professor who was always really disoriented, as if she was thinking big thoughts and had trouble concentrating for the lowly job of teaching intro students. There was a story that quickly circulated when 1 or 2 years before, she had been engrossed in a book at home, forgot the time and rushed late to class. She untied her trench coat to reveal her blouse to her students. She quickly re-tied the trench coat and explained she must have forgotten to put other clothes on in her rush to class.
2) Some of my friends really wanted to hear this band playing in Chicago (we were in school in Kentucky), so we left school and 5 of us packed in...sometime in late November for the experience. We grabbed dinner in Chicago (they were serving wine in the lobby to say 'sorry' for the wait). We then 'snuck' into this club because we were all under age. The college I attended had a no-drinking policy....the first offense got you kicked out of college. At the club, I was good and didn't drink (but there were other drinks that looked like OJ that my friends were drinking). The music was good but not spectacular...funny that my friend from high school was in the band playing bass.
We left the club to drive back to school and everyone was extremely tired. The driver was falling asleep at the wheel. She turned the music on as loud as it could go, she kept the windows open to let the freezing cold air into the car. None of it was working. She said someone else had to drive or we were all going to die. I said, 'fine by me'. I was so tired at that point, I also didn't care one way or the other. One of the other ladies said she would drive but didn't know how to drive a standard. The original driver helped put the car in 5th gear and the friend drove the car like an automatic for the remaining time.
3. Pranks are a rule in college....whole classrooms being set up at the bottom of the swimming pool complete with desks in nice rows. Cows in bell towers, waking up a friend who is sleeping in class and telling them the professor has just asked them to pray, alarm clocks and watches being set at the wrong time to have students wake up early and go to an empty class, rappelling into dorm windows, leaving friends stranded at stores without rides back to school on purpose, all sorts of nasty and therefore necessarily un-said pranks that involve feces, plastering and painting over a dorm room door so that no door is visible, pranks in chapel that involve silverware falling out of hymn books all at the same time, etc.
