"The Princess Bride" is a classic; debating that isn't worth it. Whether you prefer the book, the movie, or however you get your fix of that fantasy land, it's undeniably special and altogether worth it. Below, a review guide of all the lessons the ultimate princess story taught us.

1. It has what brings us together today.

Please don't skip to the end like Prince Humperdinck wanted to, even if you're hurrying to force marriage on a princess. Also, maybe reconsider that.

2. It taught us to respect others.

Even and especially those we were intending to duel. Definitely when you're about to fight to the death. Honor is important to those of us who sword-fight often.

3. Westley gave us intense bae-goals.

Don't you want someone to do what you ask them to, with or without the initial sarcasm?

4. Always remember that there could always be worse.

He was only mostly-dead, after all. He could have been all dead.

5. Inigo's passion was more than inspiring.

Revenge, passion, it all depends on how you frame it. Either way, great resolve.

6. Westley gave us some serious life advice.

Don't fall trap to those cheery salesmen with incentives like money and happiness.

7. It provided a very important vocabulary lesson for us all.

Inconceivable; adj, not capable of being imagined, or grasped, mentally. Unimaginable.

8. And then reminded us to question those lessons.

9. Prince Humperdinck makes sure we always prioritize.

Planning is important. Keep track of tasks, with something like a to-do list.

10. Vizzini reminded us to keep our heads up.

Never get involved with a land war in Asia. Or go against a Sicilian when death is on the line--though that is slightly less known. Slightly.

11. Westley taught us to throw shade like no other.

Never underestimate the power of the ol' buffoon line. Good way to get under the skin of your nemesis.

12. Because yes, it is a kissing book.

And we all love it.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
