Something to look forward to...

New Music Trend?

Students have rapidly adopted platforms like Pandora and Spotify, making the need to own music, even in digital format, less important. In less than six months, Spotify has made it possible for music fans to get access to artists’ complete collections online, on their tablets, and on their phones. It’s easier than ever to carry around their favorite tunes, all organized and bookmarked, without needing to sync or upload songs to the cloud.

You go girl!

Girl Scouts of America are getting more modern! They have revamped the organization's badges. On the outs are antiquated ideas of women as pretty little homemakers; coming in are badges on financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and technology. Sure, girls still want to be fashionable and look good, but now the focus is on being healthy and shopping smart.

I'm hearing a lot of positives!!!

Have you seen it? What did you think?

Sooooooo cool!

Exclusive: The Teen Wolf Pack Grows!

Beacon Hills' population and problems will be growing big-time when MTV's supernatural drama comes back this summer!!!

With production underway in Atlanta on Teen Wolf's second season, the returning original cast is being joined by four new recurring characters who sound like a whole bundle of bad for our resident lycanthrope, Scott (Tyler Posey). First is Battlestar Galactica's Michael Hogan, who will appear as Allison's grandfather, a lethal werewolf hunter with plans to draw her into the family business. Stephen Lunsford (Private Practice's Dink) will pop up as a Beacon Hills High student with a knack for photography and an eye for Scott's girl, and Daniel Sharman, who previously tackled otherworldly roles in The Immortals and The Nine Lives of Chloe King, will play a lacrosse teammate of Scott's, and Alpha Derek's dangerous new pet project.

The fourth role is a still-to-be-cast mystery lady, but with these three obvious threats to Scott's romance with Allison, we can only imagine she'll factor into that situation. Or she could be tied to Derek. After all, it's possible another Hale family member survived that house fire, right?

What do you think? Are you excited for the new season of Teen Wolf?
