Good morning Her Campus! With a break-neck news cycle, there is no possible way for you to stay on top of every story that comes across your feeds—we’re all only human, after all.
But, life comes at you fast. So grab a cup of coffee and settle in for this quick and dirty guide to stories you might’ve been sleeping on (like, literally. It’s early.)
Up to 58 Refugees in Australia Are Coming to the U.S. as a Resettlement Deal
The Huffington Post reports that up to 58 refugees in Australia held at an offshore detention center will fly to the United States on Tuesday. Split between two different flights, the all-male refugees have been staying at Papua New Guinea’s Manus Island facility after previously trying to reach Australia by boat. Included among the group are Rohingyas, Afghans and Pakistanis who will eventually settle in L.A., Philadelphia and certain parts of North Carolina. The immigration procedure, carrying out for the second time, aligns with a resettlement argument formed between former President Barack Obama’s administration and the Australian government in 2016.
“We are sad for those who are still waiting so long. We can’t stop thinking of everyone who are still on Manus. We all need freedom”, one of the refugees said https://t.co/lJcjBvHXKx

Move Over, Harry: Princess Eugenie Is Engaged to Longtime Boyfriend
The royal family never rests! While 2018 already promises a royal wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and the birth of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s third child, we now have another royal wedding to look forward to this year. William and Harry’s 27-year-old cousin, Princess Eugenie, has announced her engagement to longtime beau Jack Brooksbank, CBS News reports. After dating for seven years, the couple plan to marry this fall at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor, only months after Harry and Meghan’s May wedding.
Jack and Eugenie, the daughter of the Queen’s second son Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, seem to be literal couple goals for her mom. Often known as Fergie to the public, Sarah apparently spent her morning creating memes of the couple for Twitter. It’s a weird way to express love, but okay. Congrats to the happy couple!
Cheesecake Factory Will Sell Its Bread in Grocery Stores
We all know that the titular dessert at Cheesecake Factory is what’s really worth a visit, but the restaurant chain’s bread is a close second when it comes to amazing dishes. The infamous Cheesecake Factory brown bread will soon be available online and in grocery stores, but with unique twists. The recipe will appear as in three different forms: dinner rolls, mini baguettes and sandwich bread. This basically means that you can turn to the delicious brown bread practically every day. I’m sold!
A blessing, tbh! https://t.co/wZwA0taRJF
