At my school we had a tradition called primal scream. Everyone met on the quad at midnight the night before final exams began and screamed as loud as they could at the stroke of 12. There were usually fire jugglers, dancers, and breathers. And of course a plethora of streakers. Oh the streakers. One semester the streakers stormed the library to remind everyone too wrapped up in studying that we were there not just to put our noses to the grind stone 24 hours a day but to come together and celebrate ourselves and our world. Upvote for the memories and a reminder of the sense of community that one frequently loses after college...f*ck now my depressed.

Humans can be pretty cool sometimes.

Gotta say - it's a neat sentiment, but the library is absolutely the WRONG place for this. If you're in the library studying and a massive crowd of loud idiots suddenly comes in and breaks your concentration, you don't stop and say, "Wow, what an awesome gesture; I totally forgot that I need to relax sometimes!" Instead, you say, "What the F*CK do these sons of whores think they're doing? F*CK! I'm going to fail my test for sure now!" as you try desperately to keep concentrating on studying while the morons blast your eardrums out.

The library should be off-limits to this sort of shit, because the students in the library are trying to take their education and future seriously and haven't done anything to deserve being jarred out of their studies by an imbecilic mob.

Yes, I'm being curmudgeonly; yes, I'm too young to be curmudgeonly; no, I doubt my mind will change on this point.

As a man whose been "being educated" for the last 22 years... yeah 22 years, no joke. (That's only 5 lesser than my age btw). This would be welcome entertainment even whilst "taking my education seriously." Seeing as how I foresee at least 3 more years of continued education (in various forms), I would LOVE to encounter this sort of insanity now and then.

Enjoy random craziness. It reminds you to take things a little less seriously and just LIVE while you learn. Living is what learning is about after all. Without a tad bit of craziness, college is just plain trade training. College is where you try to figure things out (in the long run). You need input in order to output.

BTW, that's "Darude - Sandstorm"... unfortunately.

At least they weren't drunk to trash the library!

I doubt it lasted for longer than five minutes.
