April Fool\u2019s Day is one of the best days of the year. You can basically do whatever you want and get away with it. Failed a test? April Fools. Fart in public? April Fools. Rob a bank? April Fools.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the perfect time to test the boundaries with your roommate. By now, you\u2019ve gotten to know each other pretty well. It\u2019s time for the prank wars to begin. Here are some fun April Fool\u2019s Day pranks you can play on your roommate that may or may not get you in hot water.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0<\/b><\/span>The 3:00 a.m. Wake Up<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re a morning person or you tend to stay up late, this is the perfect prank for you. Set all the clocks in your room forward 3 or 4 hours. Set your roommate\u2019s alarm to 3 a.m. and sit back and watch the madness ensue. This is a great prank to start off the day. For added fun, set an alarm on their phone for every hour following and watch their frustration grow.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0<\/b><\/span>Bengay Butt<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Put a thin layer of Bengay or Icy Hot on your roommate\u2019s toilet seat.\u00a0 Beware! If you share a toilet with a roommate, be sure to let them use it first or this prank may backfire.\u00a0 For even more fun, put plastic wrap between the seat and the bowl.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0<\/b><\/span>Febreeze Bomb<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Buy zip ties and a few cans of Febreze.\u00a0 Clip the zip tie around loosely.\u00a0 When you are ready, pull the zip tie so that Febreze is spraying, throw the can into your roommate\u2019s room, and run for your life. This is especially helpful if your roommates smells and never cleans their room.<\/span><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0<\/b><\/span>Mac Attack<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

If your roommate is one to leave his or her computer open, change his or her wallpaper to an image that looks like the screen is broken.\u00a0 For inspiration, search \u201ccracked screen wallpapers\u201d and prank away!<\/span><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0<\/b><\/span>Super Fan<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Pick a celebrity you know your roommate despises, and print out tons of different pictures of them. Tape and hang all of these pictures around their room. If you\u2019re feeling especially devious, staple a picture to an assignment they will be handing in to a professor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe you\u2019re a planner, like me. For instance, I\u2019ve been taking and hiding one thing from my roommate\u2019s desk everyday for the past two weeks in preparation for a grand finale on April 1<\/span>st<\/sup><\/span>. Hoping to make the whole desk disappear but we\u2019ll see how committed I\u2019m feeling. I\u2019ll be sure to keep you all updated on the results.
