My favourite Murphy's laws.. and also the ones which are most common in real life...
Being a student... I think, I'll start with the school laws first...
1. The clock in the instructor's room will be wrong.
2. The time a teacher takes in explaining is inversely proportional to the information retained by students. [Psychology lectures... Amrita Ma'am!]
3. New students come from schools that do not teach anything.
4. Clocks will run more quickly during free time.
5. If the course you wanted most has room for "n" students, you will be the "n+1" to apply.
6. At the end of the semester you will recall having enrolled in a course at the beginning of the semester--and never attending. [Computer in Sem 1!]
7. Pocket calculator batteries that have lasted all semester will fail during the math final.
8. No matter how much you study for a test you will be asked a question that you don't know.
9. Notes written in class are hieroglyphics at home
10. If you study hard for that important examination, the setters will decide to change the focus of the exam to one that is 'thinking-based' and 'analytical'.
Corollary: If you memorized information, it will be useless.
11. If you don't study for that important examination, the paper will be content-based.
Corollary: If you don't study, every question will appear to be something you remember reading on your textbooks from a month ago, hence will appear (deceptively of course) easy, although you will not recall the exact phrasing of an answer.
12. When you have worked out something intelligently, your classmates would have worked it out before you and in a better way
LOVE LAWS: Some of the cool ones...
1. If you think a girl is beautiful, her boyfriend will always be there to confirm it.
2. Brains x Beauty x Availability = Constant.
This constant is always zero.
3. All the good ones are always taken!
Corollary: If the person isn't taken, there's a reason.
4. The amount of love someone feels for you is inversely proportional to how much you love them.
5. Love your neighbour, but don't get caught.
6. Love makes believers of us all.
Translation: Love obscures common sense.
7. The uglier the girl the closer she lives.
8. If you are interested in someone, a close friend will grab their attention.
This is especially likely if they:
A.) Don't want the attention of said person and/or
B.) Are already dating someone else
9. Any person you fall for and see that isn't alone, will be accompanied by a person of the opposite sex who doesn't deserve to be with them.
10. If a girl tell you "let's stay friends", she won't call ever again. If you call, she won't answer.
