Has anybody ever heard of somebody staging a coupe at your school and taking over the student gov't? I'm just curious.

a "coupe", is a car, a "coup" shourt for "coup d'etat" which is a nonmilitaristic overnight take over of the government. And no, I've never seen it.

Why would you stage a coup d'etat on a school gov't? More importantly how? lol

I'll answer the why after, but the how is what I'm trying to figure out.
Why? I keep being told from different adults that I have to make myself marketable for the job-world so I have to differentiate myself from other people. Blah blah blah, all that grownup talk makes me but then today I thought hmmmm, some people may volunteer in Africa, work in DC as interns, etc etc etc and then I thought How fucking cool it would be to be the first person ever in the history of your college to stage a coup and take over the student government?
Yea, I was really bored today.

this is what boredom does to you man - it's my equivalent of being high and coming up with ridiculous things to do.

hahaha yeah if i saw that on your transcript, and i was thinking about hiring you id be a little scared. I could just imagine some guy bunkered out in his cubicle, trying to take out the CEO of his company in a coup.

By the way, I'm speaking of a college student gov't - not high school.

Do it.
It'd be epic, and it would show that you take action.
You'd be able to claim that so hard, first person to ever stage a coup on campus, legendary.
