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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
