It’s quite the volume of recyclables. Shared on social media, the video of the paper storm has racked up over 70 thousand likes — and plenty of comments, many clearly displeased at the choice to throw the paper into the halls in this particular way. But not to worry: according to the student who shared the video and other commenters who say they were also involved in the end-of-year prank, the kids themselves along with the administration responsible for cleaning up the ensuing mess. > [](https://twitter.com/jordanwhite649/status/868189667706847232) > [](https://twitter.com/Dlane005/status/868228158042103810) > [](https://twitter.com/lakoudud/status/868663364196675585) > [](https://twitter.com/TaelorTako/status/868364754800132098) > [](https://twitter.com/jordanwhite649/status/868321893283053568) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4800061/viral-senior-prank/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4800061/viral-senior-prank/"},"headline":"Students Celebrate the End of the Year With Viral Schoolwork 'Waterfall' Prank","datePublished":"2017-05-31T19:40:24.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:44:03.447Z","description":"A never-ending waterfall of papers marked these students' last-day-of-school celebrations in a video that's gone viral.","url":"https://time.com/4800061/viral-senior-prank/","keywords":["Newsfeed","School","viral","Students","Summer"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4800061/viral-senior-prank/","name":"Students Celebrate the End of the Year With Viral Schoolwork 'Waterfall' Prank"}}]}] ```
