School has started and people have begun flooding back to campus. After summer when the Student Union tends to be a ghost town, it is a welcome change.

“Teenage Dream” album exceeds fan expectations
03 September 2010
Katy Perry’s second album, “Teenage Dream,” skirts a line between Alanis Morissette and the bubblegum pop that she is known for.
