What's the most awesome thing you did in school?

I snuck onto the catwalk above the stage and climbed across these metal bars stretched over it. Twas very frightening, I was at least two stories up, and possible more (it was a three story school plus basement, and the stage was around the basement, so it's quite possible I was close to four stories above the stage.) The technical theater head saw me up there and thought I was masturbating. Wouldn't believe me when I told him I was just exploring.

I also ended up getting into a surprising amount of threesomes. I wasn't really trying to, they just happened.

Definatly had to be when I captained my school's science bowl team to a regional (basically state) title my senior year in high school. Which qualified us for an all expenses paid trip to nationals in Washington D.C. where we took top half.

Probably these



Interesting? I guess. Cringy? Yeah

Ah well

I mean, I did do the whole "Captain of Swim Team" and "ShitLoad of AP Courses" but really, who gives a fuck?

Buying that Smash Bros. Gamecube bundle using the 1 dollar bills I accumulated through showcasing the "Money Tornado" price for the middle school fundraiser in 7th Grade... Granted, the Wii was coming out soon, I think, but I didn't give a fuck... I bought my first console with a bunch of 1 dollar bills!

Other than that, wearing all those dresses during my Drama Class years in high school... Why was I the only guy in that class brave willing enough to do something like that when the time called for it? I still don't know and, at the time, I didn't care... I got to find out that I have the same heel size as my grandmother during one of the [actual] times I was needed to wear a dress for a grade...

The most awesome thing I did happened when I was in the 10th grade in my history class. It was the last day of classes before final exams and we had reports on current events due.
Now, I had maybe only done a quarter of the current event reports assigned for that marking period and I had forgotten to do this final one.
When I was called up to give my report I grabbed a random piece of paper from my backpack and went to give the report I didn't do.

That big BP oil spill was happening then so I drew on my knowledge of that and potential solutions to make a story up. It was very informative and it killed a good 20 minutes. Then I went to hand my "report" in and noticed it was a poem I wrote.
My teacher was so impressed that I managed to give an accurate and informative report without doing my report and had the balls to give him a random poem instead that he gave me credit for that report and all the ones I didn't do. Brought my grade up from a low B to a high A.

My classmates were very impressed too and I made some good friends.

There are two things I'm quite proud of from my secondary school days.

One is a game of Dodgeball I did insanely well in. There was no time limit on the game and what ended up happening was there was just me left on my team and four people on the other team. Not sure what the offical rules of Dodgeball are but when were playing there was no time limit, you were able to hold a ball indefinitely and use it to deflect balls so I held onto my ball and used it to deflect theirs. This went on for what felt like 10 minutes but we ended up winning.

Another that was pretty fun was at a sports day, I was in the sports field with two of my friends and we had just helped a group of people climb the wall around the field and skip out off sports day. You see at our sports day your attendance is taken at the start of the day and then you're let loose but the gates of the school are locked until lunch so to get out before that you have to climb the wall which is taller than a human. Anyway we'd done that and were making our way back when a teacher Mr Butler came across the three of us at the back of the field at the start of the day where we had no reason to be and asked what we were doing there. So almost right away I spoke up and said "Well we aren't recreationally using marijuana." My friends were dead silent, Butler looked at us in silence for a couple of seconds before pretty much saying okay and walking off.

During my sophomore year at college I had a 10-page Sociology paper to write on the topic of why people use excuses and disclaimers. We were supposed to read the transcript of the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas trial to find examples. I procrastinated until the night before it was due, not realizing just how ridiculously long court transcripts are.

I knew I wasn't going to get it done in time, so I decided to write a completely BS paper so that I would at the very least get the points allocated to proper spelling/grammar/format/etc. since that's better than a 0%.

So I wrote a ten page paper about excuses and disclaimers, using my own excuses and disclaimers as to why I didn't complete the assignment as my examples. So in essence, I wrote a paper about why I couldn't write the paper, and still managed to show that I understood the material.

The professor pulled me aside when he was passing back the graded papers and told me that he couldn't give me full credit because it would be unfair to my classmates who actually read the court documents, but that he was going to give me a B since I managed to still complete the assignment while also giving him a good laugh. Score!

Did next to no work in English and Philosophy and Ethics during the last eight months or so because of a crappy teacher and my teacher leaving respectively, then come results I got an A in both of them.

Shows that doing fuck all will still get you on top.

Oh man, if there's one awesome thing I will remember till I die from laughing about it... was getting a teacher laid off.

Ok story time! We had a tv program that aired every morning, and I was part of the team who makes the friday casts of the program that had less to do with news and more to do with fun crap. So one week, a rumor was going around that the married psych 101 teacher (WHOM I HAD A CLASS WITH HEHEHEHE) was sending nudes to someone on the baseball team via skype. As far as high school rumors went, this one was actually ended up being true, and the pictures were shared. Me and my friend knew not of what the others on the team were filming, we were simply responsible for editing and going with it no matter how sketchy it sounded... essentially we thought i'd be funny at the time, oh boy, naivety is great sometimes. To put it simply they made a joke about the iPad where you could chat with your friends, family, and your students, emphasis on STUDENTS and we went as far as to put a "Special Thanks to BLANK" (the actual name of the kid who got the nudes) at the end of the episode...

Me and my friend who edited it, were not brought in to the Principal's Office.
The rest who were casted in the video were, and were asked A LOT of questions. Including wether or not they had pictures (way to keep it subtle staff...), which was later colossally confirmed as the real deal when my psych teacher got replaced 2 days later.

Really the only highlight in my dull 4 years, but a great one for sure.
