What You Should Have Done on the Last Day of School

Yesterday, we heard from a Sparkler who had an epic last day of school. But what about everyone else? Well, if you missed your chance to enjoy your last day, Sparkler Sappranoconda has some ideas for next year... —SparkNotes Editors

We've all been there: You had a great idea of what to do on the last day of school, be it taking revenge on Chris From Science Class for spilling chemicals on your favorite shirt, or pulling a prank that would have catapulted you into the realm of high school legends (extra points if you used an actual catapult). It was supposed to be the day of dreams, where nothing went wrong, life was good, and every sentence had the word "awesome" in it.

But, as you haven't been featured on any major news networks, and school's campuses (campie?) have been left for the most part intact, I think it's safe to assume that you didn't pull it off.

I know, you wanted to do it, you thought about it, you might have even come prepared for it. But then you realized that there were SO MANY people that could potentially see you, and Amy said she would do it, but then she backed out, and you didn't want to do it by yourself. (Stupid Amy, always giving up on your plans...) Long story short: you didn't do it, and now you feel bad about not having an interesting story to tell.

Well fear not my dear, attractive, and good-smelling Sparklers, I have put together a list of ideas to make next year's last day WAY more fun.

The Lunchroom (the perfect place for mischief because of the lack of work and supervision)
Fun: Play musical chairs. I know you haven’t done that since you were in elementary school, and that’s what’s great about it. Music is optional.
Epic: Have a fashion show. Have you ever noticed that those long tables look like a runway? Or that t-shirts and jeans are a kind of fashion? Go ahead, get up there with your friends and do your best (or worst) catwalk. Note: This is even better when somebody falls/gets in a hilarious fake fight.

The Hallway (everyone needs a good laugh between classes)
Fun: Bohemian Rhapsody. Assign parts with your friends and sing as loud as you can.
Epic: DANCE! Music or no music. If you do use music, make sure it has nothing to do with the dance. Try some dirty dancing with classical music. Ballet with hardcore screamo. Waltz to rap. Do “Thriller” to the national anthem.

The Classroom (there's a bit more supervision here, so why not mess with the teacher’s head?)
Fun: Talk like Yoda. Confused your teacher will be.
Epic: Climb out the window while the teacher is out of the room. I’m not exactly sure what you will do out there, but I do know that you can write on windows dry erase markers. Enough said.

Around Campus (for more anonymity [or extra attention-getting, if that’s what you're into])
Fun: See if you can fit in that _____. Whether it’s a locker, a hole in the wall, or a backpack, there is always something that makes you wonder, “Can I fit there?” Do it.
Epic: Climb up on the roof. Again, I have no idea what you'll do once you got up there, but you'll think of something.

Notes: The point of last-day-of-school silliness is to make yourself and other people laugh, and to satisfy the urge to do something stupid. Don’t actually get hurt or hurt somebody else. That makes everything less funny. And try not to do anything that would get you into HUGE trouble, because, depending on the teacher, you can actually start next year in detention. Unless of course you’re a senior; then, by all means, go ahead. Oh, and please, don't steal anyone's wallet. Seriously, not cool. And if you happen to have my wallet, please give it back.
