Demi Lovato, Sexual Assault Isn't Prank-Worthy

Maybe it's time you are actually educated.

Demi Lovato, Sexual Assault Isn't Prank-Worthy

In case you missed it, singer/songwriter, self-proclaimed feminist, and advocate for mental health Demi Lovato had responded to a fan's tweet which asked Demi for the funniest prank that she had pulled.

Now, if you're expecting something actually, you'll be sadly mistaken like the rest of the world.

Demi responded to that tweet saying that she had hired a sex worker to go into her bodyguard's room (without his permission) and had grabbed his 'area', leading him to, of course, freak out.

So, according to Demi Lovato, sexual assault is funny. But, if it was a male sex worker sexually assaulting a woman, the tables would be completely turned and I'm sure Demi would have a lot to say about that, but because it was a man and her bodyguard, it's funny and it's OK that it happened, right? Wrong.

She had mentioned that if she tweeted about jelly beans that people would still be offended, but imagine comparing sexual assault and jelly beans. Kinda like apples and oranges, right? And then she had mentioned that her song "Warrior" and told people to listen to it and said she of all people know about sexual abuse all too well.

So, let me get this straight, Demi had possibly been a victim of sexual abuse but yet still thought it was funny enough to hire a sex worker, send them to the room of her bodyguard, put the sex worker at risk for being physically harmed, and have them grab the man in his 'area'?

Demi, if someone hired a sex worker to come to your room uninvited to grab you without your permission, would it be a funny joke to you then? Oh and, by the way, because you know about sexual assault and seem to have been a victim of it, you should've known better.

Next time, if you're going to tweet something like that, ACTUALLY apologize rather than saying "So sorry if..."

Maybe Demi does need to be educated after all...

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
