You know I've realized something.

If I keep making videos about my life stories,

then soon I'll run out of life to talk about.

Which is why sometimes I'll agree to do a thing just so I can make a video about it later.

Perks of being a YouTuber.

So my mom is friends with this junior high school teacher.

Kudos to any junior high school teachers watching.

It amazes me that anyone would be okay sitting in a room with 27th graders

and not even getting paid that much to do it.

My mom was talking to her like moms do,

and I guess I came up in conversation.

And my mom told her that I wanted to be a math teacher,

but then I became a youtuber instead.

So my mom's friend, I'll just make up a fake name for her,

I'll just call her mom's friend.

Mom's friend comes up to me and says,

Hey, would you be interested in helping tutor some seventh and eighth graders?

Ew.

I think the only reason she chose me was because one,

I'm good at math, duh,

and two, I'd be good with kids or something.

I told her I'd do it because seventh and eighth graders are the worst kinds of people.

Unless you watch my videos, then you're cool.

I'll finally get to live my half-hearted dream of teaching kids math.

Now I didn't make this video to talk about math, okay?

That's boring.

Before I even started tutoring these kids,

mom's friend asked if I wanted to chaperone on a field trip so I can get to know them.

Okay, seventh and eighth graders are between the ages 11 and 13,

AKA the worst time to be alive as a human.

You're going through puberty, you're super self-conscious,

no one wants to be your friend.

Seventh grade is just one big popularity contest, and everyone's losing.

No one looks back at themselves when they're in seventh grade and thinks,

Yeah, I was alright.

There's definitely some Sevvys watching right now thinking,

Oh, I'm not that bad.

Doesn't matter who you are,

you're gonna look back on these years and hate yourself.

I remember when I was in the seventh grade,

I noticed all the cool kids wore really low socks.

The shorter the sock, the cooler you were.

So I always wore the lowest sock possible.

Most of the time you couldn't even see the socks,

it looked like I was wearing nothing.

That's how cool I was.

Sometimes I put on girl socks because they were the lowest socks I could find.

I was sooooo cool.

Anyway, I was going to be shabaroning these kids on a field trip.

They were going to the big college here in Arizona,

can I just say ASU?

And this was supposed to get them excited to learn and pursue a higher education.

It's kinda awkward bringing me along, the successful college dropout.

Hey kids, you should go to college.

It's important.

I don't count though.

And I didn't know what to expect on this field trip.

YouTube says my biggest demographic is 18 to 24 year olds,

but I don't think that's true.

Because it's usually kids leaving comments and emailing me asking to collab.

Either they're the loud minority,

or there's a bunch of kids lying about their age on YouTube.

I walk into the classroom, and everyone's head turns.

Is that the odd ones out?

Oh my goodness, that's the odd ones out!

Kids started forming lines, they were taking pictures,

they were hugging me, and I'm just kidding, that didn't happen.

No one cared.

They were all still talking in their clicks.

With all the kids I've talked to over the internet, that sounded wrong.

With all the kids I've talked to,

I was hoping that one,

at least one kid had seen my stuff.

But nope.

So I just sat in silence and played on my phone.

We get on the bus.

I don't remember why I said this,

but on school buses, all the cool kids sit in the back.

Well this time the opposite was true,

because I sat in the front.

We arrive at the college,

I go to this group of kiddos and I say,

So what do you want to be when you grow up?

And at

that moment, I realized I sounded exactly like one of those adults who try to talk to kids

but have no idea what to say.

I was planning on them saying, astronaut or doctor!

And then I was gonna say,

Well you could learn that in college!

That's what I was going to say.

So what do you want to be when you grow up?

They said...

Nothing.

They didn't say anything.

They just looked at me like,

Why is this old guy trying to talk to us?

So then I just walked away.

Alright, I need a new question.

I wanted to somehow bring up,

100

Hey, I have over a million subs on YouTube.

101

But that's tacky, you don't just start conversations like that.

102

Sub counts have to come out naturally.

103

So I went up to a new group of kids and I said,

104

So, do you guys watch any YouTube videos?

105

And most of the kids did the same thing looking at me like I was weird,

106

but one kid said, Ricegum?

107

Ugh, ew!

108

Here's actually the story of how I met Ricegum.

109

So I was at VidCon and all of a sudden a huge crowd of people just goes running by,

110

and I said, Who's that?

111

And someone else said, Ricegum?

112

And then I said, Oh, who's that?

113

And I didn't really meet him.

114

My friend Gabe did though.

115

So we were given a tour of this college

116

and it was actually kind of interesting because it was the college

117

that I would have attended if I wasn't trying to save money.

118

It was fun seeing what could have been.

119

There were other junior highs doing tours at the same time,

120

so we crossed paths with this preparatory school.

121

I'm guessing it was a preparatory school because they were wearing uniforms.

122

And this one kid in the other group just pointed to me saying,

123

THE ODD ONE'S OUT!

124

THE ODD ONE'S OUT!

125

Over and over and I just said, Hey, back to him.

126

And that was it, we just kept walking.

127

No pictures or high fives.

128

Man, why couldn't that kid have been in my group?

129

Preparatory kids are so much cooler.

130

So we do the tour and I was in the back not talking to anyone.

131

We ate lunch and there was actually a kid in my group who did know me.

132

His name was Connor, I think he was too shy to talk to me at first.

133

Thanks Connor, where were you when I asked your peers what they wanted to be when they grew up?

134

But he was cool, we ate lunch together.

135

The field trip was almost over and I kept thinking,

136

Man, I did not connect with these kids, like, at all.

137

Well, they are only 7th and 8th graders,

138

so it's not like I need their approval.

139

Hey kids, I have 1.8 million subs on YouTube!

140

It was tacky to use my sub count to get validated by these children,

141

but after I said that, everyone loved me.

142

I think I made a good connection with them.

143

And, okay, all the kids I tutored that were failing math,

144

90% of the time, they weren't failing because they didn't understand the material,

145

they were failing because they were missing assignments.

146

So alright, I'm about to tutor everyone watching this video,

147

And this goes for you college folks too.

148

Kids, turn in your work.

149

Even if it's late, it's better than a zero.

150

Alright, lesson's over.

151

We're not gonna do an end card for this video because I wanted to show you guys something.

152

Here are all the cards I made for the plushies.

153

Good news if you live in the States because they will most likely arrive before Christmas.

154

Sorry if you live somewhere else.

155

Also, if you ordered a custom signature,

156

you're just gonna get one of these boys.

157

We want to get them out before Christmas,

158

but then we're gonna send the special ones later.

159

So you'll get two cards if you ordered special instructions.

160

Bobby, what do you have to say?

161

Also, another important announcement is I'm gonna be taking a Christmas break.

162

I have been working non-stop on videos since VidCon,

163

so I am in desperate need of a break.

164

I'm still gonna be posting comics and maybe some other non-animated video if I can.

165

But this is the only animated video this month, so I guess...

166

Merry Christmas.

167

Can I say Merry Christmas?

168

Whatever holiday you celebrate, just wear your seatbelt.

169

Look at that.

170

This is my...

171

I haven't hung it up or anything,

172

it's just on the floor.
