Handshake signals galore

Tha Coolest Fifth Grade Teacher Ever...Period
ABC News

Now, I know you guys remember your fifth grade teacher as this awesome maestro of learning, the guy (or girl) who gave you a new passion for bookworming it. Yeah, that person. You wake up each morning and say to yourselves, "Damn, I loved Mr. (Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen)! He made learning boss for me."

Well, un-remember that. Because he didn't. Matter of fact, he couldn't possibly have. Because he wasn't Barry White Junior. Now, Mr.White--the man in the video above--HE is the greatest fifth-grade teacher of all time. Because his coolness is something you don't just store in your memory banks.

No. You bathe in it. You have it as one of your balanced food groups. You live it, as one of his students. Or, at least, vicariously through them.

The fact that Mr. White took time from his lesson plans and whatnot to create individualized handshake greetings for each student, and both parties actually remember them, is something for the *alleged* Gods. Just look at all that coordination! The Hustle and Flow. The whole, "We gonna tear that difficult Great Gatsby chapter a new one today! Just ya'll wait!"

I don't really have a positive memory of my fifth-grade teacher. Let alone fifth-grade in general. Probably because I had to repeat that grade, and it was one of the most embarrassing years of my existence, and I personally hold Ms. Fields responsible for that, even though I did fail one test that would've promoted me, in regular class and again in summer school. If you'd created personal handshake patterns for all of us, I would've passed with ease! It's your fault, Ms. Fields!

Now, back from being unreasonable, I think we at Odysseyville owe it to ourselves, and everyone else we know, to share this video as far and wide and possible. Beyonce's twin pregnancy news broke Instagram, but I'm sure this could decimate at least Formspring.

Side Note: Is that still around?

Side Note Answer: Yes, but nobody cares.

Anyways, please keep being the illest 5th grade teacher in history. That's all I ask of you, Mr. White.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
