Megan Fox, The 'New Girl'

Nope. No. Not OK.

Megan Fox, The 'New Girl'

“Pardon me. No,” were my first thoughts reading the headline, “Megan Fox Will Replace Zooey Deschanel In The New Season Of ‘New Girl’.” Those words gave me straight up anxiety and a couple tears. Why would the producers allow this? There is no replacing Jessica Day. It is simply not ethical.

And with Megan Fox, who is known for roles with minimal clothing. She certainly doesn't seem like a dessert person. I assume from the lack of a male audience, this is a smart move that will gain a diverse audience. It's obvious how Schmidt is going to react. However, many regular fans have publicized their disapproval with this decision. Don't get me wrong, I am not hating on Megan Fox, I'm just not thrilled about her presence on the show. How ever nice Megan Fox may be, many "New Girl" fans are not pleased; how can we relate to Megan Fox???? There is not a lot of fair comparison between Megan Fox and the average me. Jessica Day is the person fans can heavily relate to. Her dance moves, her awkward encounters, her struggles with dealing with men, the fact that most of the time she has no idea what she's doing with her life, we all get it; we all know it well. Jess says everything we are thinking and takes it to a whole new extent.

Example A: Like when she explained the real life female struggle in the most accurate way possible.

Example B: She knows what she wants and just goes for it. It might not be graceful, but she doesn't go a moment without being herself through the process.

Great execution, Jess.

Example C: TBT to the time Jess and Nick were not together, and her single life accurately described every thought a single person has ever had.

Example D: Jess is the poster woman for femininity and feminism. Having a love for small cute animals, pretty dresses, and arts and crafts, doesn't mean these women are weak, dependent, or airheads.


Although the headlines state Fox will replace Deschanel, do not fret, my fellow "New Girl"-ians, this is not permeant. Fox appears on episode six, but as Reagan, the 'new girl' in the loft. While Jess is off on jury duty, and Deschanel is off on momma duty for just four episodes, Reagan will be stirring up trouble in the loft. According to the procuder, Reagan is 'a gorgeous, straight-shooting pharmaceutical sales rep who comes to town on business and shakes things up in the loft.' But for those four episodes, there will be bitterness in the air, along with some high expectations. Just remember, we will, in fact, be getting our quirky Jessica Day back.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
