This semester, my friend Katie jetted off to Belize for a study abroad program through the University of Vermont. Sounds good, right? I would gladly trade my glum winter quarter to soak up the rays in Central America.

Blink-182 is back in the studio with an album due out this year, Dr. Dre is supposedly producing his final solo album (still), and Rick Astley's popularity has never been higher.

This year's freshmen reported less alcohol use - 47 percent classified themselves as high risk drinkers in October, as opposed to 65 percent of last year's incoming class.
