AU sophomores Jane Jones and Mike Smith are proud to announce that they are no longer alone, thanks to Eagle Rants.
Jones and Smith met online after publically ranting about their solo statuses on Eagle Rants.
Jones lamented the lack of decent, single men on campus in a rant in which she said, “I’m funny and marginally pretty, but no one notices me.”
“I don’t put myself out there or go to parties, but I shouldn’t have too,” Jones ranted, adding that if any “nice guys” exist on campus, they should go find her. “I’ll probably be in a North side dormitory lounge, eating Cheetos and watching Glee,” she said.
Later that day, Smith submitted a rant in which he said, “I’m so sick of girls claiming there aren’t any nice guys on campus! I’M RIGHT HERE! Doesn’t ANYONE just want to rent some anime and cuddle?”
Luckily, neither of the students had any plans that night and spent the evening browsing CollegeACB and Eagle Rants, where they saw each other’s posts. After reading Jones’ rant, Smith combed the lounges until he found her.
“I saw this girl with cheese crumbs all over her AU T-shirt and just knew,” Smith said.
Jones said the pair immediately hit it off, and plan to have their first date tomorrow night at TDR.
“We’re going to sit in the balcony section where all the romantic seating is and giggle awkwardly about how cute we are,” Jones said.
Although the pair just met, they are already “Facebook official” and were spotted this morning holding hands in a Letts Hall lounge.
“It was love at first rant,” Smith said, with a grin face. “Now neither of us will be forever alone.”
