For all the uninformed Potterheads out there, there's a new app available in the App Store called "Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery." It's an RPG app where you get to navigate your way through your years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, solving mysteries and going to classes, making friends all over the place. There's a lot going on, but here are the best and worst parts of "Hogwarts Mystery."

1. YOU get to got to HOGWARTS!

For the first time ever, YOU get to go to Hogwarts. You can do to class and make friends and you don't have to imagine it! It's real! You can get sorted into your house, fight for the House Cup and gain skills through different activities.

2. Your prefect kinda sucks

Even if you're earning more House Points than ANYONE, your prefect will constantly say that you're not doing enough and you're letting your house down.

3. You get to meet the characters you know and love

From Bill Weasley to Albus Dumbledore, you get to meet your favorite professors and students who attended Hogwarts before Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

4. ENERGY!!!

Sometimes you'll be in the middle of a class or a quest, trying to get enough stars to finish each activity but then you RUN OUT OF ENERGY! It's so frustrating and it takes four minutes to gain them back.

5. You get to explore the sights

If you're like me and have always wanted to wander around Hogwarts, then definitely get this app. You can eat in the Great Hall, walk through the Quidditch pitch, and go to Potions in the dungeon.

Even with the negatives, if you're patient, the game is lots of fun. For more information or to download, visit the game's site!

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

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.
