“So, like, where’d you go to school?” Get ready, grads -- that’s one of those questions you’re gonna hear every time you roll up at a party or start a new gig out in “the real world.” It might seem like an innocent inquiry, but that ish gets complicated real quick -- just ask the latest viral sensation on the interwebz, Ivy League Hustler Nikki Muller.

Recently, thousands of students at over 300 colleges raised their voices at the #FixYoungAmerica rally in the hopes of attracting one modern American hero to the cause of ending youth unemployment: Stephen Colbert. As the Comedy Central host would say: Nation, did he hear them?!

#FixYoungAmerica (FYA) started their viral strategy with a talking baby, and after today, another interwebz sensation could be added to the arsenal: Stephen Colbert. All month, FYA’s army of youth activists have been flooding the patriotic comedian’s Twitter feed with messages asking him to join their fight to end youth unemployment, and now they're taking that social media campaign to the streets! Thousands of college students at over 300 campuses in all 50 states will be rallying for the talk show host to hop on the #FYA bandwagon starting at 2 pm ET (11 am for West Coasters) -- so are y'all ready to get rowdy?!

What’s the only thing more viral than a policy-babblin’ baby? Answer: STEPHEN COLBERT. Duh. Which is why Fix Young America, a movement that aims to end youth unemployment and put young Americans back to work, is pulling out both of these big guns. But first, they gotta get Colbert’s attention. And how do you do that? With a big-ass rally! Duh.

OK, who didn't tear up when Octavia Spencer won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for "The Help." The well-deserved standing ovation. Brad and Angie proudly beaming at her. The emotional acceptance speech. Calling her Oscar "The hottest guy in the room." The shout out to her home state of Alabama. And of course thanking the "world." Haha!

Like fine dining, an internship should reflect your high standards, your good taste, your hunger for a fulfilling, enriching experience. You don't want to fight for scraps, wrestle for leftovers. Worse yet, you don't want to go home hungry, do you? This is your future, yo. Do you want a Hot Pocket ... or do you want ... say ... high quality sushi? If our metaphor hasn't driven you away from the computer and toward the fridge to answer a sudden craving, then we'll just keep pushing the reference: Get our your chopsticks and let Intern Sushi teach you to "be picky."

MTV’s new scripted comedy, I Just Want My Pants Back, celebrates Brooklyn, hipsterdom, and the never-ending 20-something journey of figuring things out. The characters will make you literally LOL and shake your head (mostly because you really know THAT guy). With its sharp, witty writing, and super relatable characters (don’t you just want your pants back sometimes?) it’s no surprise Pants is getting a ton of buzz.

Lil Wayne better get ready to share his hometown stage, 'cause New Orleans native "Ace" Shields, 17, just won us over with a rap that celebrates community change and name-checks arugula at the same time. How can you not be a fan?
