If you haven’t already, get your lazy butts off your dorm room futons and go for your local representatives and officials! There is a multitude of important issues that will be decided today and every vote counts.

Dippin’ Dots has some serious money problems. ‘The Ice Cream of the Future’?? Not so much. On Thursday, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in attempt to avoid foreclosure. With $11 million in loans, there are serious doubts whether the brand can save itself.

A new report from the United Nations says this, just in a lot more words. The UN Special Rapporteur on Health, Anand Grover, informed member states that states should be providing safe and legal abortion for all of their women, and that not doing so is messing with women’s rights.

Friends, let’s debunk the myth that you can’t have fun in college without drinking. Yes, booze does help, but it doesn’t mean you can’t have fun without it. The activities may not come right out at you when you ponder, “What does one do in college that doesn’t involve drink and is fun?”…but they’re there.

Former U.S. Presidents and Congressmen and women alike have capitalized on making appearances at all the hottest spots of our favorite celebs.

You’ve probably heard about Occupy Wall Street by now unless you’ve been living under a rock. But you’ve probably only seen things about the 1% versus the 99% and jokes on TFM. Kanye West even showed up. This has spiraled into something that I don’t even think the protestors knew it would.
