We need to stop joking about sensitive topics.

Megan Fox Deserves An Apology From Michael Bay, Jimmy Kimmel, AND America
@meganfox on Instagram

An old interview with Megan Fox has gone viral, and honestly, America (and Jimmy Kimmel) owe her an apology. ASAP.

In the interview, Fox described how she was treated by Michael Bay, which included sexualizing Fox when she was only 15 years old.

And Jimmy Kimmel made light of it, joking about it saying, "Yeah, well, that's really a microcosm of how all our minds work — but some of us have the decency to repress those thoughts and pretend that they don't exist."

The audience clapped and laughed with the "joke..."

This entire situation is just unacceptable.

We can't make light of these situations, and we can't brush them under the rug like they don't exist. This event happened in 2009, that's 11 years ago, and only now are we putting the blame on Bay and Kimmel instead of Fox?

That's incredibly sick of our society to take 11 years to place the blame on the culprit and not the victim.

How quickly we forgot that Bay was at the hands of Fox's future, not the other way around. Fox's failed career after being cut from "Transformers" was largely attributed to her own sexuality or promiscuity when in reality, we should have been blaming the unfair and gross comments and actions of Bay and Kimmel, not Fox.

In light of all of that, too, Fox deserves an apology from not just Kimmel and Bay but also America.

Why do we automatically assume that the woman is in the wrong? That doesn't sit well with me. It's always the woman's fault, always. The woman has to prove she didn't "ask for it" while the man has to prove he "did it."

Fox's story should serve as a reminder and a wake-up call that society needs to stop blaming women and instead, start holding men accountable.

Because if they keep acting like this, we'll have a world full of boys without any men.

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.
