This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Mizzou chapter.

Students anxiously waited outside of the bookstore for the clock to hit 11:11 on November 11, 2011. With faces turned toward the sky, a sea of students was showered with 11,000 ping pong balls dumped from the roof of the MU Bookstore.

Students carrying plastic bags, upturned umbrellas and cardboard boxes waited outside the MU Bookstore for the clock to hit 11:11 in hopes of catching some of the 11,000 ping pong balls that were dumped from the roof. Many of the ping pong balls could be redeemed for free stuff, discounted textbook fees and even an iPad!
