Irena Sendler - Angel of WWII
We're all familiar with the diabolical annihilation of the European Jewish population in the 1940s, but within the dank, torturous events of the Holocaust, there are glimmers of promise. Allow me to introduce you to Irena Sandler: one of the most under-appreciated heroines in history.

Top 20 Reasons Why You Are Not Doing Well in School
Flunking out of classes? Consistently receiving angry lectures from teachers? Can't take decent notes for the life of you? You're probably guilty of one of the following.
1.) You procrastinate. "That essay isn't due for another thirty-six hours! I have time for another Doctor Who marathon."
2.) You're disorganized. "Is there supposed to be a moldy Snickers bar in my pencil bag?"
3.) You get lost in your thoughts. "I like the color of that Expo marker. I should get a whiteboard so I can use a marker like that. Mom wouldn't let me get a whiteboard when I was younger... Maybe she'll get me one for Christmas. OMG, it's almost Christmas! I hope we have ham..."
4.) You get distracted way too easily. "It's raining outside. College, where am I gonna go for that? Wow, the rain's really - Hey, that's a nice sweater."
5.) You just don't care. "F*ck it."
6.) You have terrible handwriting. "olfing is for men in khakis"
7.) You don't know how to format a paper. "What do you mean four inch margins aren't acceptable?"
8.) You cheat. "What is this "honor code" you speak of?
9.) You don't show up. "What? I thought every school had Flag Day off..."
10.) The opposite sex. "Does this one even need an example?"
11.) Your class is distracting and obnoxious. "And so the angle would equal - class, please be quiet. (Small pause) So the angle would be equivalent to - STOP. TALKING. Please! (Long pause) The angle would be approximately - THAT'S IT! DUCT TAPE TIME!"
12.) You're level of respect is somewhat non-existent. *punches teacher in the face*
13.) You're always unprepared. "Hey, can I borrow a pencil? And some paper? And your shirt?"
14.) You don't do the work. "Twenty-five page assignment on Frederick Douglass? More like Taco Bell and iFunny."
15.) You're sexually frustrated. "I should've been a slut."
16.) You lack motivation. "I don't think I want to go to college. Or to the grocery store. Or out of my bed."
17.) You're too dependent. "Dad, can you chew this food for me?"
18.) You fear public-speaking. "Um, 'Religion and Exploration During the 17th Century'... Uh, it's - the two are tied together becau- oh. Excuse me, um, I need to go change my pants."
19.) Education isn't your thing. "Dude, I just want to travel around Europe and sell paintings out of the back of a van, to be honest."
20.) Your life is on the Internet. "Come on, whose isn't anymore?"

Short Films
Hey there, Internet civilization! (That was quite possibly the geekiest way to start off a blog post...) If you're like me and enjoy spending hours on the computer every single day, chances are you're always looking for new websites and fresh content. Why not hop on over to the one and only YouTube and check out some short films? Many of them are incredibly well-made and deserve a lot more attention! (Plus, they're only four to five minutes long, which is great for impatient, hyperactive people like myself.) I've put links and descriptions to five of my favorite short films on YouTube below. Did I miss any? I'm sure I did, so feel free to leave a comment with a link. I look forward to watching them. :) Enjoy and happy days!
"Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes." - Jim Carrey
"Love Sick" (comedy)
A man struggles to find a woman who won't give up on him. Will he find a faithful female? Or should he invest in some cats?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFDAvcwDPTA
"Magnetic" (dramatic/romantic)
A young boy goes through the ache of being rejected by the one he loves. As he becomes an adult, he strives to find a way to make her love him. (If he ever gets married, she'll become NAGnetic.) *slaps knee*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdbaD8OOxfA
"Omigod You Guys" (comedy/musical)
Okay, so it's not a YouTube video PER SE, but it's still hilarious and ridiculously well-made. A brilliantly funny spoof on the popular song from the Broadway hit "Legally Blonde", Chase Anderson (director) utilizes his fabulous camera-working skills and quirky sense of humor to bring five minutes of pure energy and entertainment to your computer screen. What more could you ask for?

"No Offense" (comedy)
Considering the fact that this is the second film on the list that has been directed by F.C. Rabbath, I think it's safe to assume that he is one of my favorite short film directors. This video is rib-achingly funny (yes, I just used an adjective my grandmother wouldn't even use.) Viewer discretion is advised.

"The Desk" (dramatic)
I just watched this film for the first time and it is, without a doubt, the most thoughtful short film I've seen thus far. Extraordinarily clever, outstanding musical decisions, and flawless camera work all come together to create an unexpected twist on a familiar theme. Well done, Albert Gonzalez!
