The Soedra Latins school in Stockholm, Sweden has decided to go one step further in keeping its students from gender stereotyping.

They're breaking down the walls by putting more up!

The school has decided to add a third changing room between the boys' and girls' locker rooms. This one will be gender-neutral!

It's always nice to see celebs give back!

And even nicer when it means we can get our hands on Adam Levine's junk!

Adam and a slew of other stars are offering some amazing donations to a charity auction to save a struggling El Lay charter school!

Carly Rae Jepsen, Chelsea Handler, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon are among the stars who donated VIP tickets, signed items, and even a personal greeting!

We have NEVER been more in love with a lady (besides those in our family LOLz) than we are RIGHT NOW with Michelle Obama after watching her inspiring, heart breaking, poignant speech addressing youth violence and the importance of investing in our children's future.

Open you ears, minds and hearts to the FLOTUS (above)!

Seems like this is becoming a trend!

To combat the high anxiety that final exams can cause for college students - the University of Aberdeen in Scotland have created a puppy room for their students.

Students will be able to relieve their stress by playing with golden retrievers and labradors - sounds good to us!

Here's what spokeswoman for the school said:

All around awesome human being Angelina Jolie added another notch to her humanitarian belt Thursday while at the Women in the World gala in NYC (above)!

Brad Pitt's future (current?!) wife delivered an inspiring, yet heartbreaking speech honoring Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani activist who was shot in the head by the Taliban simply because she wanted equal opportunity education for girls.

Angie has also donated $200,000 to an educational fund set up in Malala's name that will go towards funding various educational projects specifically for females.

Queen Madonna is currently in Malawi visiting the ten "schools" that she helped build with an organization called BuildOn, but it seems that there is a discrepancy over WHAT type of educational construction Madonna actually put in place!
