Cheslee Morgan is a 20-year-old junior at Texas A&M University studying environmental geoscience. She just wrapped up a class called "US environmental regulations."
The GroupMe for US environmental regulations — BESC 367 to the registrar — went along for the semester, with students sharing typical class materials with each other.
There was one student who seemed to REALLY love the chat. Morgan said throughout the semester, a kid named Tim Van Gorder kept writing random things in the GroupMe. These ranged from enthusiastic commentary on the class...
He also wrote some things that made Morgan and other students go, WTF? Like this "confession."
Um, OK?
Or how about this one, where he seemed really into figuring out who he "sat next to" in the class.
He also just did some straight-up trolling.
As the class wrapped up last week, Van Gorder wrote one final weird comment: "Has anyone ever joined a random GroupMe for a random class in a completely different college?"
Yep, Van Gorder had been trolling them all semester. He isn't in the class, and doesn't even go to their college.
It made Morgan laugh, so she shared it on Twitter. People gave props to Tim for his long-haul troll.
This dude who doesn’t even go to A&M joined my class’ GroupMe and has been here all semester talking about our prof… https://t.co/z8ywHlGqdT
People appreciated his commitment.
@chesweee Omg the fact that he goes to a college in Virginia is just priceless 😂
Her post got so big, it made its way back to someone who claims to be "Tim" himself.
After months of inactivity, I log on to Twitter to see I’m becoming famous. What a day https://t.co/igKYK89e5g
The account user didn't get back to us for comment.
And the school even chimed in.
@chesweee Howdy, Tim! If you want to join our #TAMU classes for real, here's some info for you:… https://t.co/qbam62XVqF
Tim: the hero BESC 367 didn't know it needed.
