Eagle Rants Dec. 16

[Editor's note: Today is the last day of Eagle Rants for the fall semester. But don’t worry, they’ll be back Jan. 17!]

•Dear guy in my Environmental Politics class, you are adorable and funny and like musicals. However, creeping on FB does not tell me whether or not you have a girlfriend, and I feel weird coming out and asking. #awkwardpalmtree

•theres a 16 year old on campus.

•if boarding school taught me one thing, it was how to pack efficiently. Currently going on year seven of packing up for christmas and I have it down to a science. the roommate on the other hand...

•To all the ladies who are in love with Clark Kent: you should know that he's not available. He's all mine ;)

•@I know why God gave women mouths...seriously??

•I GET TO SLEEP IN A ROOM ALONE TONIGHT. RANTING OUT OF SHEER EXCITEMENT.

•Hunger is a feeling, Manny. Thin is a skill.

•Rereading Cop Without a Badge for the fifth time over break

•@Who is Nick Rangos: He's the Anderson President and he's actually pretty cute and super nice. The rants about him are a bit much though... I think he has a girlfriend

•@"I know why God gave women mouths" get outta here.

•To the person WHO goes through all the Eagle Rants to corrrect people's "who's" and "that's" SHUT THE F*** UP. Do you seriously have enough time each day to care about other people's grammar mistakes and be the douche who feels the need to correct them? Grammar mistakes are their problems, not yours. Seriously, nobody cares what you say so get a life.

•@Person who doesn't like my reference to A-Rod, you are not from Wisconsin. Aaron Rodgers (not to be confused with Alex Rodriguez) is referred to as such in-state. I sometimes forget others don't know this... (as much as I'd like to be I'm not in Wisconsin anymore!)

•@Not Packers Fan: Unclear on your Rant... do we *need* to pack something? Because if we do, all that needs to be packed is your (and other haters') mouth so it can stop SPEWING FALSEHOODS!!!!

•"Anyone ever seen the graffiti in the women's bathroom in the Anderson Computer Lab? It's kinda cool." ~ thanks. I drew it after leaving a particularly awful maths class...

•YUUUUUP!

•WHY IS THERE NO TOILET PAPER IN POLAND!!!!

•No amount of Spotify holiday playlists will put me any closer to being done with this semester. And no, friends, bragging about how you are done with finals, and in your own beds, etc..., it doesn't make me feel better.

•I know it's petty to whine about this, but I HATE A-'s since we don't have an A+ option to balance them out! Every other grade has a +/- balance. What is the reason for this? UGH

•to the people that respond angrily to everyones criticisms: I dont understand. youre the people that are putting yourselves out there. so dont be surprised by the people that respond openly and honestly

•Trolololo...

•Anderson 5- we top you #horny people without standards #meow

•I get better internet at Starbucks than I do in my dorm room... Really, Eaglesecure?!

•It's your fault

•Nope, I refuse to take the blame.

•LikeALittle cracks me up! The fact that all of the names are fruits is really distracting because my friends and I in high school always used fruit names for crushes haha

•I like to imagine that all of the rants that say something like "you're beautiful but I never got the courage to tell you" are addressed to me.

•"Editor’s note: Will you be at AU taking classes for the spring 2012 semester?" Yes [Editor’s note: Do you currently write/photograph/work for The Eagle? Also, what happens when I’m ready to guess? If I guess wrong do I keep going or is that the end like in Clue?]

•Tim McBride: The epitome of liberal elitism. #OCCUPYAU

•I can't decide if I like the space bar or the enter key more..

•Editor, you know who you remind me of? The bartender from The Shining. I think part of it is your cool level-headed responses to mad ranters, but I don't know why I always picture you wearing a tuxedo [Editor’s note: Haha thanks!]

•I LOVE THE LORD OF THE RINGS POSTERS ALL OVER CAMPUS!!! Especially the ring one in MGC I LOL'ed all the way to TDR :D

•M- thinking of you -P

•@shy crusher - it's never too late to tell a girl she's beautiful :)

•So who is down for some Axis & Allies after winter break?

•To all the girls who want a boyfriend: Try being a bit uglier. The girls here are sizzling HOT. Guys look for girls of equal attractiveness, and you're all too good for us!

•@"so I used that instead of who, it's not that big of a deal" Actually it is a big deal since you do it every day. Either learn basic grammar, or give up your eagle ranting privileges. k thanks.

•@"Are all the corrections of who/that made by the same person? Because if so, you're a freak." At least I'm smart enough to know how to talk. Maybe you should go back to community college.

•@"To the person who thinks they're smart" The word 'person' is singular, while the word 'they're' is plural. Do you not see a problem with this? Was your SAT writing section that low?

•@"Is it me or is there a huge lack of interesting clubs here?" Um there are like 500 clubs on this campus. If you seriously can't find even one that seems interesting to you, then maybe it is YOU who is uninteresting.

•@"There was a check for Shi Travel Agency" Um why didn't you take it to lost and found? The public safety building is literally right across from the McKinley building. Just sayin..

•It's sad that I need to break up with you in order to get you to realize that you need to treat me better. A few words of affirmation a year is not enough. I need to be told I am beautiful EVERY DAY, not once every few years. Sorry if I have low self-esteem but is it that hard for you to say nice things to me?

•I try my best and I would do anything for you. I'm sorry I'm not as smart, attractive, or popular as you. But I love you with all my heart. Why can't that be enough?

•"One day I'll fly away. Leave all this to yesterday."

•@Eagle Rants Editor. I noticed the note on top of the December 15th rants. I haven't sent any mean rants that identified people, but I'm sorry that you have to read all those. It must be hard seeing so many negative rants. Hopefully you can handle it. I will try to send more positive rants to make up for all the mean rants you have to see. [Editor’s note: Thank you! This editor always appreciates positive, funny, uplifting Rants.]

•I graduated from AU last year. I just watched the holiday card video that was emailed to me and cried because I miss AU so much. AU students, cherish AU while it lasts. It will go by faster than you know.

•I never feel guilty about being privileged

•okay, there was definitely a message on the top of the eagle rants saying that you aren't allowed to mention names. and then you guys allowed a rant talking about tim mcbride. really?! i've come to expect much better from you guys. [Editor’s note: Since Tim McBride, Nick Rangos, etc. are public figures, we publish Eagle Rants about them. But private people, aka students who don't hold elected offices, deserve to have their privacy protected.]

•i'm not gonna lie. those "that awkward moment when..." rants have been bothering me for weeks. I was so happy when there weren't any posted today. good job AU, keep up the good work!!!

•@"L, I'm sorry I never built up the courage..." As an L, of course I was this was about me. Regardless all girls like to be told their beautiful. Here's to hoping that one day outgoing trumps shy :)

•when a guy gives you THAT look but you don't know what it means

•Nick Rangos has pneumonia? So did Liberace... get tested y'all

•None of my rants about Nick Rangos have been posted. I'm highly offended and know that he is too!! Anderson Hall Council sticks together!!

•The free hot chocolate in Ward friggin' made my night.

•I "lost" your number sorry(not sorry).

•@"crazy cat ladies on hughes 4" jealousy isn't very attractive. maybe if you weren't so abrasive, you wouldn't have to turn to LaL!

•I don't think I'm going to survive winter break without Eagle Rants. I'm very scared. Suggestions for new hobbies?

•To all the people upset that the quiet floor isn't quiet enough, Everything will be okay.

•The people in the New Media Center are my HEROES. I seriously love you guys.

•Roomie left early... and I'm happy as can be.

•@"It's not funny"-I know it's not funny,it is distinguishing and pathetic

•I dated a guy for two months here, we broke up a month and a half ago. Is it sad that I'm still not over him?

•@limping guy, this is actually about a woman. love me some gay ladies.

•I'm honestly going to jizz my pants the day rants return.

•T, you're hot. hopefully you can help me out next semester. S

•Goodbye

•ANDERSON 3 SOUTH EFF YEAH

•I got a B in a GenEd in my major. Thank God I never have to take another one.

•I want to laugh at all the girls that fawn over you.

•That awkward moment when someone shows up on your "People You May Know" and instead of clicking the link to view mutual friends, you send them a friend request.

Rant here!
