Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle has been all the media has talked about recently (and rightfully so). It was truly an event that no one will ever forget. There is just something about the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy that fascinates people around the world.

Although some may argue that the media (and people in general) should be focusing on more important news stories, this wedding deserves the attention. The last of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana's two children just married a woman unlike any other in the royal family. That is a momentous occasion and a more lighthearted news story that we could all use right now.

The happy couple's big day also featured many modern twists and differences as well. The more intimate ceremony space at Windsor Castle made for a gorgeous wedding. The newly titled Duke and Duchess of Sussex got to ride in a horse-drawn carriage down the "Long Walk" leading to the castle as they waved to adoring fans.

The couple also invited amazing people who dedicate their lives to community service and other causes to be the ones right outside of the chapel where they were the only ones who got to see the couple's much anticipated first kiss.

The bride and groom also decided to have American preacher (and bishop) Michael Curry give a powerful and spirited sermon about the power of love during the ceremony. His passionate speech may not have been quite what the royal family is used to, but everyone loved it and took his message to heart.

The star-studded guest list was also extremely impressive (and rumor has it that many of the celebs had a great time at the intimate evening party later on). Oprah, James Corden, George and Amal Clooney, and Serena Williams (just to name a few) were just some of the well-dressed stars at this royal wedding.

Of course, much of the drama leading up to the wedding was about Meghan's father and whether or not he would attend. In his absence, Meghan and her new father-in-law, Prince Charles, shared a wonderful moment as he walked her down the aisle. Although, in tune with the modern essence of the nuptials, he did not "give away" Meghan to Harry.

Overall, the wedding of the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex was a modern yet historical occasion full of love and joy. The British monarchy is becoming more and more diverse and representative of the twenty-first century. Princess Diana would be so proud of her second son for marrying the woman he loves, despite their differences and comments from critics. The monarchy is entering a truly exciting time as the family continues to expand and do so much good in the world.

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.

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.
