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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
