With April Fools’ Day being today, there are those on campus who either outright have plans to prank people, or those who do it in secret.

Shane Kelly, a junior marketing major said he plans on keeping the day’s celebration within his close group of friends.

“I don’t have any definite plans, but I do have an idea of messing with friends’ cell phones and prank calling them,” Kelly said.

Kelly said he played a prank on his roommate one time by pulling off all the boards under his bed.

As far as pulling an ultimate prank, Kelly said he would do something involving school, but would not go too much into detail on it.

Katherine Johnson, a freshman psychology major, said she really has no plans to do anything huge.

“I’ll probably just trick my roommate into thinking something major happened, when in actuality it didn’t. Nothing major,” Johnson said.

Johnson said she was the recipient of a prank by her parents, and was being tricked into going to Six Flags.

She said her ultimate prank would be telling her friends and or family that she was moving.

Charlie Jaques, a junior French and biology major, said he has no plans to pull any pranks.

“I’ll probably just hang out with friends and keep grinding out the rest of the semester,” Jaques said. “I’ll maybe do some smaller pranks on friends.”

Jaques said he has not done any pranks in the past, but knew friends who bought a bunch of bouncy balls and threw them down the hallway.

“It was a little bit dangerous, but still funny,” Jaques said.

Jaques said his idea of a master prank would involve animals.

“The best pranks aren’t necessarily the dangerous ones, but the ones that are so off the wall that people will double take,” Jaques said.

Amber Holland, a junior communication disorders major, said she forgot completely about April Fools’ Day.

Holland said she is still brewing up a good plan, and just did the classic pranks in the past April Fools’ Days.

Holland said her idea of a master prank would be letting lizards out in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Krystina Lamorte, a junior English major, said she would like to do something to her roommate for April Fools’ Day.

Lamorte said in the past, she also did the classic pranks that Holland did for April Fools’ Day and as far as the master prank goes, she would try and prank her sorority.
