In high school, there was always that one person you were in love with who didn't love you back, that one teacher who made you believe the sky’s the limit (Shout out to Mr. Reeves!), and that one musician who you worshiped so hard because he or she read could your mind like NO ONE ELSE.

Not "Teen Wolf." Not YelaWolf. But Nat Wolff. Does that name sound familiar?! He played the older brother on that Nick show, "The Naked Brothers Band." 'Memba them? Now he's starring with Tina Fey and Paul Rudd in the upcoming film, "Admission."

What would you do if you and your classmates were invited to a private screening of the film "Admission" and afterwards saw teen hearthrob Nat Wolff IRL talk about 7th grade heartbreaks, his fave actors and whatnot?! It happened to 400 students at Validus Prep in Bronx, New York!

Are you obsessed with "Catfish" as much as I am? MTV's new TV show is all about falling in love with someone online and upon meeting them IRL, they're a completely different person.

There are after school programs. And then there are AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS. Stoked is most definitely the latter. It's an amazing youth mentoring program for under-served youth. How do they engage students? Not through chess or tutoring but through skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding. Beyond rad, right?

Things we know about Lil Wayne. He loves: jeggings, singing "Young moola baby," watching professional sports and getting on a skateboard. Oh and about that skateboarding, he's all about giving back when he gets on a board! Y'all think that Angelina Jolie and Oprah are helping kids but so is Weezy! And he's doing it in a pretty awesome way.

As a senior in high school (OK, and even as a freshman too) I would go down to Seaside Heights after prom night and Memorial Day Weekend. The Jersey Shore was more than just a beach. It was a haven for kids -- cool, geeky, goth, jock, whoever and whatever. We all fit in down the shore. Anyone who has been to down the shore has totally made a memory from it -- an eternal inside joke or the best FB profile pic ever. And now our haven is gone.

Malala Yousafzai’s life was threatened because she wanted everyone to have access to it. Nick Kristof has called it the “most cost-effective kind of aid work.” And right now, students all over the world are preheating their ovens to support it. I’m talking about education for girls in the developing world, and you can help bake a difference.

If you know who Macklemore is, awesome! If you don't, it's all good 'cause you're about to learn about a rapper that's like no other.
