How many times do bạn get passed bởi and ignored in the halls at school? Wouldn't your morning be so much brighter if people actually acknowledged your existence? Of course it would. But since people are fickle, bạn must force them. Here's how to provoke a friendly greeting, hoặc at least make someone else feel happier as s/he comes glowering into the building.
Who knows? Your target might even pass along the gesture to someone else, who will pass it along to someone else, and that someone else will then... (you get the point; joy is contagious). Just think how many days could be brightened bởi following my danh sách of wonderful alternative ways to say "Hello."
1. The "Hey"
This is bởi far the easiest and most commonly-used form of "Hello." When bạn are ready, bạn may even want to try the extended version of this simple greeting (see #2).
How It's Done
Approach your target with grace, bumping into ngẫu nhiên passersby on your way. As bạn get closer to your target, let a smile crawl up your face as bạn lift your chin up a bit and say "hey." Don't forget to look at your target, and listen for a response. Do not slow down a whole lot. It is perfectly acceptable to be behind the target when he responds.
2. The "Heyy"
WARNING! Do not use with complete strangers. The people bạn "Heyy" should be close friends, hoặc people with whom bạn feel comfortable.
How It's Done
This version of the most common "hey" (see above) is đã đưa ý kiến in two syllables, and usually done with the arms spread out to the sides, palms facing upward while the head and shoulders do a miniature body roll to the left, then right. If done right, your target will repeat the greeting, resulting in laughter. This shared experience allows bạn to connect with someone and start your ngày like a normal human being should.
3. The "Cheery Hello"
The "Cheery Hello" is a great thing to use on days where you're bouncing down the halls with sunshine radiating from all around. Needless to say, this "Hello" shows everyone that bạn are having a good day. Your happiness may even rub off on some of your friends. WARNING! Do not use after a tragic event, breakup, hoặc any kind of sad incident. If bạn see people crying, back off.
How It's Done
As bạn come bounding into school, select a target who looks approachable (that means no crossed arms, scowling, eyebrows pulled together, hoặc chainsaws, sorry). As bạn advance on your target, keep that smile propped up and use a sing-song voice to say "Hello" (go up first, then down a couple of notes). Your target may look surprised, but pleased. For the full effect, keep looking at your target for a few thêm precious giây before bouncing away again. Do not stare for too long; make the look last only a few seconds. No need to creep the person out, hoặc make her think that you're plotting some sort of evil scheme.
4. The "Sup Nod"
bạn mostly see the male population of the school using this rather awesome greeting, but girls, we can have fun, too.
How It's Done
Pick a target, usually someone standing bởi her locker, hoặc talking in a group. Slowly walk up to her, bouncing a little with each step. Stop. Wait for a few seconds. Tilt your head to the side, jerk your chin in an upwards motion, and bring it back down. Your head may go back a little bit. For the full effect, say the word "sup" while your chin is at its highest. Professional 'sup-ers may even look good while doing the "'Sup Nod" with a slight change: Instead of saying "sup" while raising your chin, pretend to be doing the nod without the sup, and speak while your neck, head and chin are coming back to their normal positions.
5. The "RunOnHelloThatIncludesEverythingYouEverWannaSay"
This greeting is reserved for days when bạn come bursting into school with life-changing news about your dog/college/bf/gf/whatever, and absolutely cannot wait to share it with the world. WARNING: Do not interrupt important-looking conversations no matter how amazing your news.
How It's Done
As bạn come bursting into the school, use your wide-open eyes to find your group of targets. Approach them biting your tongue, because before bạn can explode all over your victims, bạn absolutely have to make sure bạn are not interrupting anything important. If it looks like bạn might be, turn and restlessly look around for a lone target that bạn could enlighten with what bạn have to say, and walk toward that person. If no such person exists, simply wait until the current discussion is coming to an end, and WHAM!!!, bạn can spill your guts.

A Mayan calendar has been found that projects dates 7,000 years into the future!
Fear not, people irrationally afraid of what tomorrow might bring. Archaeologists have found a 9th century Mayan calendar in the Guatemalan complex of Xultun. The calendar is 600 years older than the other ones found elsewhere and it projects about 7000 years into the future. December 21st, 2012 is not mentioned as a special ngày in any way shape hoặc form.
So now bạn know… if bạn fear what might happen tomorrow, don't. The Mayan Apocalypse is nothing thêm than an Internet meme that we'll laugh about like we do about Y2K now.
