After working your butt off through the whole college year, summer break is a time to get out of the dorm, slam some beers, and enjoy the company of your friends with no homework, tests, or interviews to worry about. But just make sure you do it right. If you’re not careful, your tropical vacation or Tiki-themed house party can quickly go sideways. Just look at all of these examples of college students getting up to no good, and you’ll understand exactly what we mean.
When Uninvited Guests (AKA the Police) Show up
Most of us want to spend our summer partying, hanging out with friends, or enjoying the great outdoors. The last place we want to be spending any time is in a jail cell, but the students in this picture were probably headed in that direction in the few minutes after this picture was taken. A note to anyone reading: don’t fight the police if they show up at your party! It will only end poorly.
Usually, the cops show up and just tell everyone to go home. Unless, of course, you decided to fight them. Then, they’ll probably take you and a few of your friends for a ride downtown after the party.
It’s a Frat Boy Summer
College can be a wild place to be, and things get even wilder when the summer semester comes along. As a parent, you want to send your kid to college and feel like they will be smart and safe while they’re gone. Then, you see some of the frat houses on their campus, and you get incredibly worried. Like this one with a sign inviting daughters and their mothers in for drinks. Smooth, boys.
If that’s mother and daughter drop-off, where are all the dads supposed to go? Could they be at the sorority across the street? Or are they going to be too busy standing with their arms crossed talking to the other dads?
A DUI Can’t Stop Her
This Texas college student became semi-famous a few years ago when a picture went viral of her driving around town in a hot-pink Barbie Jeep. The little, battery-powered vehicle was enough to get her to and from class, but we’re sure you’re curious why she’s driving that instead of a real car. No, it doesn’t have to do with finding parking on campus; she just got a DUI and isn’t allowed to drive anymore!
There’s nothing funny about driving under the influence, but you have to admit, this is a pretty inventive workaround. Can you imagine her showing up to do a real driving test with that thing?
Spotted: A Real Life Unicorn
If you ever drink too much, make sure you’ve got friends around that you can trust to take care of you. Don’t be like this, and go out drinking with friends that will take any chance they can get to prank you. He learned that the hard way when he woke up in the morning and found himself duct-taped to a newsbox with an adult toy stuck on his head. At least his friends added the caption: “I’m A Unicorn!” to bring the whole thing together.
Although this may look bad, we’ve all had worse nights, right? Actually, never mind, we take that back. This looks like a really, really bad night.
The Ideal Photo Shoot Spot
Most of us have taken a thirst trap photo or two before, but we’re not exactly sure if this girl’s photo came out the way she wanted. A thirst trap, if you didn’t know, is a picture where you’re trying really hard to look sexy so people on social media will engage with the photo. But in this photo, the toilet might even look sexier than the woman! All that gold is quite distracting.
We love the toilet paper pose too. Is that supposed to be like a pillow? Or are you showing off that the rich toilet has even richer toilet paper?
Red Wine Gets Us That Way, Too
There’s nothing better than a good old costume party, no matter the theme. This person right here got all dressed up and even added a gorgeous wig into the mix for a princess-themed tea party. However, no tea was served, and this fairy godmother got drunk off of red wine instead. The result? They ended up sitting on the toilet, holding what little was left in their wine glass.
We just hope that their dress didn’t get dirty with toilet water! Someone hold up that tule, please.
She Bought Too Many Margaritas and Couldn’t Pay for AC
That summer heat is a nice break from the cold winter nights, but if you don’t have air conditioning in your apartment, you could be in trouble. There’s nothing worse than sitting in your living room on a humid night and mercilessly sweating while hoping the heat will break. That’s exactly what the woman in this picture is going through, but she found an inventive solution. No AC? No problem. She can just sit on a pile of ice pops.
She’d probably be a little cooler if she didn’t have a warm laptop perched on her lap, but that’s just our opinion.
Gourmet Drunk Cuisine
There’s nothing better than coming home from the bar and digging into a big pot of steaming hot food. Or, you can order something off DoorDash or something, but that always takes so long and costs so much! Might as well just make it yourself. Unless, as this woman learned, you’re a little clumsy when you’re drunk. In that case, the whole recreating a cooking show at two in the morning thing might not exactly work out.
Our favorite part of this picture is that the cat is having an absolute blast. He’s just sitting there, picking up pawfuls of sauce off the floor, living his best life.
Freshman Year Was A Trip
Students have been complaining for ages that high school just doesn’t do enough to prepare them for college or the real world. And, by the look on this young man’s face, he clearly has a lot to learn. We’re not sure whether he’s feeling disappointed, impressed, shocked, or flabbergasted; we just hope he didn’t have a crush on one of those young women. This would be one tough way to get rejected!
We guess there are a few things that the movies get right after all. This party looks like something straight out of Project X. It’s such a bummer we weren’t invited though.
Bathrooms Were For Paying Customers Only
When you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go, and this guy definitely had to go. Whether it’s bad tacos, too many cocktails, or just the mix of it altogether, our stomachs can take a beating on a night out. Unfortunately for this guy, his stomach took about all it could handle, and then it just couldn’t take any more. But, without a bathroom in sight, he wound up sitting on this public garbage can instead.
At least he had the decency to do this in a garbage can. There are a lot of people in our city who won’t even pick up after their dogs.
New Zealand Police Gone Wild
While some police departments around the world look down on nudity and public drunkenness, the New Zealand police are big supporters of both! No, no, we’re joking. Those things are both against the law in New Zealand, but that doesn’t change the fact that this picture shows a couple of cops being more than a little lenient with a few college students having a wild night out. Well, alright, there’s one cop who’s being lenient. The other just looks disappointed.
If these cops patrol that area often enough, this could become a regular occurrence. Every Friday night, they can go, say hello to the people they’re serving, and remind all of them to please keep their clothes on as the night goes on.
Don’t Fall Asleep At The Show
Festivals and outdoor concerts during the summer are a great way to spend your time. It offers a chance to listen to live music, enjoy the warm weather, and toss a few back with friends. Just make sure you don’t wind up like this guy who passed out during the concert after having a few too many drinks. So, when the crowd noticed him, they made alien crop circles around him with all their beer cans.
A good, lighthearted prank is always appreciated, so this doesn’t seem too mean. We’re sure this guy was embarrassed when he woke up and realized just how many people he’d been entertaining by sleeping, though.
Let’s Go For A Really Short Walk
Ah, young love. There’s nothing more romantic than seeing two young lovers walking along the beach hand in hand. Unless, of course, those young lovers are both wearing ankle bracelets. And no, we don’t mean stylish, Coachella-style ankle bracelets. We mean like the real deal, court-mandated, track your location, welcome to house arrest ankle bracelets. But hey, at least these two live close enough to the beach that they can still go walking without setting the alarms off!
Do you think they got the ankle bracelets for the same crime? Did they commit it together? Did they meet in a group of other singles with ankle bracelets? So many questions, so little time.
Dude, This Tent Sucks
Going camping with friends is a great opportunity to commune with nature, enjoy some peace and quiet, and relax by the fire. That is to say, it’s a great time to do those things if the campground isn’t too crowded. But from the background of this picture, you can tell that this place was packed. And, in the foreground, you can tell that this guy sleeping on top of his tent probably isn’t having the best vacation.
How does someone wind up sleeping like this? Do you think maybe they just couldn’t find the flap the night before? It couldn’t have been comfortable regardless.
How Hot Was It?
There’s nothing worse than being super sweaty without a change of clothes. OK, maybe there are worse things, but you get what we mean; it’s annoying! Plus, as this guy learned, it can be kind of embarrassing as well. It looks like he was just headed out to the local golf course when he got caught with an unsightly sweat stain on his back, in a pattern we think you’d better see for yourself.
This gives a whole new meaning to the term sweating balls. Sorry, but we had to.
Let’s Just Get A Little Sun
Going out to tan with a partner is always a good idea. You can make sure to put suntan lotion on each other’s backs, time how long each person takes on each side, and then you can both fall asleep together and not wake up until you’re both totally burned! Alright, so maybe that’s not the ideal scenario, but it’s what happened to these two, and they definitely do not look comfortable.
After a serious sunburn like this, your skin stays hot for days, and it’s hard to get cool or comfortable. That’s just one of many reasons why using sunscreen is so important.
Double Delivery Duty
After a night out drinking with friends, it’s pretty common for everyone to get the munchies. But, what do you do if everybody wants to eat a different thing? You can’t pay separate delivery fees for a bunch of different restaurants; that just wouldn’t be feasible. These guys had an incredible solution, though. They figured, what if we just type in and ask the Dominos Pizza guy to also go and get us McDonald’s. And guess what, it worked!
Can you really blame these guys? Those two a.m. chicken nuggets hit different, but also that good, doughy, Dominos pizza– oh boy, we’re starting to get hungry over here.
Mascot Went A Little Too Hard At the Pregame
We used to love going out to watch the college football team play when we were in school. There’s something really wholesome about the collective experience of watching your fellow students battling on the field while your peers are also around you cheering, playing in the marching band, and even running around in the mascot suits. Well, most of the time it’s a pretty wholesome experience. In this picture below, we think that might’ve been soiled just a bit.
Clearly, this mascot needs to stay away from the liquor before the team’s next big game. Unless maybe this was an intimidation technique against the other team the whole time!
