A successful prank requires a well thought out plan, perfect execution, and the ability to not get caught. I excelled at pulling pranks, but was a failure at getting away with them. I am Brandt, the dirtbag that got himself into a lot of trouble and hilarious situations. Life, it seemed, was a joke; but in reality, the joke was my life. I never considered the future and how my behavior would transform me from dirtbag status to a responsible adult. As I dealt with the consequences of my actions I learned a few valuable lessons. I learned who I was, who I wanted to be, and most importantly, how not to be a dirtbag.
