Hey girl, Ryan Gosling is here to motivate you through those tough days of teaching…

If you’re a teacher on Pinterest, you’ve probably noticed that everyone is going pin-crazy over the teacher “Hey Girl” series. These are basically pictures of hot stars “saying” encouraging statements about awesome educators.

While there are a few Matt Damons and Justin Timberlake’s floating around, Ryan Gosling is ruling the “Hey Girl” teacher scene. You can’t like a pinteresting teacher blog without Ryan clogging your feed saying things like: “Hey girl, I like my women how like I like my bulletin boards – bright, engaging and well informed.”

This trend may be completely silly, but admit it, it’s fun, clever and just plain motivational. And don’t we all need a little motivation these days.
