In order to achieve the unbelievable, you must be scheming, clever, and willing to risk it all. The perfect senior prank is out there and overnight you could become the most talked about person in the entire school. This is a guide to help you survive the perfect senior prank and pull it off without getting caught. The risk may be great, but you could go down as one of the greatest senior pranksters of all time.
Step One: Research! Research! Research!
Use the magical device known as the internet to look up everything possible about a senior prank. Go onto forums, YouTube, websites, Yahoo Answers or anything that may help you get an amazing idea. The elaborate ideas may not always be the best ones, but if you are trying to cause some damage, then bigger is better. The whole point of a senior prank is to shock and awe not just the administration, but the entire county.
One of the most important aspects of a successful prank is to never get caught. This means you need to not just research your prank, but also how you could get away with it. Make notes of the best times to perform the prank. If it’s during school, then you need to be extra tricky to not get caught by the cameras or a passing teacher. If it’s an elaborate prank, the best time would be before or after school.
The ideal time would be overnight, but remember that in most schools the custodial staff will get to the school before the teachers or the students. The best thing to do is go so big that nobody can cover your prank. Remember, the reason to do a prank is to leave your “footprint” on the school before you leave. Go all out.
Step Two: Plan your prank with the senior class
It may seem like a stupid idea to tell people about the prank because it may leak out to a teacher or administrator, but it is not. The idea of the prank is recognition. The more people that know of the prank, the more it will explode when the prank actually happens. However, this is a double-edged sword; if the prank that you pull off is just OK, you will be the laughing stock of the school until graduation. People like extravagant, hilarious pranks. They do not like pranks that are kind of OK because it made the teachers laugh.
Rome was not built overnight; you need to plan this for at least a couple of weeks. Otherwise, the prank will look like it took you only fifteen minutes to plan. Also, you should recruit some friends to help you. The closer the friends are, the better. You should be able to trust this person with your life. If all goes downhill, your best friend should not be the one that contacts the local news station to confess that you are the mastermind of the entire operation.
The most important aspect is to remain calm, cool and collected. You should reveal to seniors about an upcoming senior prank, but not your involvement in the process. You must maintain your composure or the prank could crash before it even starts.
Step Three: It’s time to carry out this prank
This should be the step carried out on the day or the day before the actual prank. During school, the senior class, if not the entire school, should be anxiously awaiting your surprise. No one except for a select few individuals should know the exact time and place. The only exception should be if the entire class is in on the prank.
You should be very wary if everyone knows about the prank because of the chance that the faculty will also know. The best situation is to surprise the entire school. If the prank is being carried out during the day, then you need to move fast and diligently. No one should be able to walk around the corner and figure out what you are doing. If the prank can be done overnight, then take as much time as possible to ensure that the prank will remain where it is for at least 24 hours.
Once the prank is over, wait and watch as your efforts go viral.
Step Four: Zip-it!
Even if the prank is not as wildly successful as you hoped, you have done all you can and it is over now. Never risk your future college, military, or even current job over the glory of the prank. The best pranks are the unexpected ones that leave a lasting impression. If you and your friends just watch and laugh like all the other kids then the prank will seem to be even more important because no will know who did it.
