That's sucks.

Because many of you are back to school,

I decided that I wanted to share some advice with you.

When I was in school, there was a lot of things

that my teachers would tell me not to do

that research has since shown

to be actually beneficial for students,

so I decided that I wanted to share those with you,

in case your teacher ever tells you to not do these things.

Dis gon be one dem edu-ma-cational videos.

Texting friends is a waste of time!

Actually, research shows

that texting can actually improve language skills,

and the earlier that you start, the better it works,

'cause research shows that the better your texting skills,

the better your reading and writing skills,

and the reason for that

is because kids aren't texting these days

instead of writing short stories and poetry.

Kids are texting instead of not doing anything at all.

Let's be honest.

How many of you would willingly write stuff out

if email and texting didn't exist?

I would say probably a very small percentage of you,

you lazy (beep)!

Chewing gum in class is a distraction!

Actually, chewing gum helps you focus and concentrate,

as well as relieve stress and tension.

Believe it or not,

even the military uses gum

to help soldiers stay sharp,

and if that wasn't impressive enough,

gum can actually increase your memory

as much as 35%.

That means, if you're performing a tedious task,

like cramming all night for an exam,

you should have a mouthful of Bazooka Joe.

The gum, not the person.

I don't even know if there is a person

named Bazooka Joe.

It's not sexual.

(Clears throat) Moving on.

Listening to your iPod distracts from your studying!

Music can actually be used to improve your studying,

if you use it correctly.

The music doesn't have to be Mozart,

but it should be instrumental and moderately paced,

which should be pretty obvious,

because who's going to be able to memorize Shakespeare

when all you hear is

(Indian vocal music)

Really though, listening to music while studying

blocks out annoying distractions,

which increases performance

and helps you relax and concentrate.

Doodling in class is counter-productive!

Actually, doodling is the exact opposite

of what most people think.

By preventing the brain

from going into a brain-fart-type coma

during really boring things,

such as, say, I don't know, lectures,

it actually helps you to concentrate

a lot more than a non-doodler,

so, as it turns out,

that treasure chest full of dick pictures that you drew

is actually be beneficial for you.

(Latin music)

Daydreaming is a waste of time!

While daydreaming may seem like pure procrastination,

it's actually a very useful thinking tool.

You know how they say

we only use a small fraction of our brain?

Well, daydreaming actually helps unlock

huge chunks of the rest of our brain,

which can help with problem solving and breakthroughs,

'cause, think about it,

have you ever noticed that,

when you're concentrating really hard

and you're stressed about something,

that it just seems like nothing's quite getting through?

That's basically because

you're shutting down the rest of your brain

because you're thinking so hard.

Sometimes solving a problem

actually requires you to stop concentrating

on solving that problem

and just let your mind drift.

That's also why you hear a lot of people say

they've had breakthrough ideas

when in the shower or taking a dump,

which is actually

how I came up with the concept for this video.

(gasps) That's a great idea!

(farts)

So, if you're ever in class,

and your teacher tells you

to stop doing any of those things,

just tell her to go educate herself,

you (beep) cow!

No, but tell her to check out the links below this video.

It's all true.

That's all for this video, guys,

and I will see you next Saturday.

Peace. (electronic fanfare)

(beep) (burps)

(silence)

(gasps) That's a great idea idea!

(gasps) That's a great idea idea!
