Ph1a Portal Prank
The frosh class pranked the last physics 1a lecture by opening some portals in the middle of class. First, a frosh waked in and shot a portal gun to start the prank off. Once the portals were activated, a series of frosh went in and out the various portals while the “Portal” theme played. The…
