•Not Virginia Tech. Not again. Eagles, send your prayers, good juju, thoughts, hopes wishes to them.
•My professor still hasn't entered the A grade I got on a paper 2 months ago. I talked to him about this and emailed him. He said he would enter it when I asked him about it 3 weeks ago. This makes the difference between an A and a B+. What should I do???
•@you're wrong to have a LDR. I'm guessing you did not have a good LDR experience. My boyfriend lives in a different country and while the distance is hard, there is nothing wrong with giving it a shot and sticking it out for someone you really love. Better luck in love next time.
•OMG!!! YEW GAIZ WERE LATE WITH RANTS!? WTFFF
•Okay world, when you say "Dear AU" to address a specific group or department at AU, I want to punch you in the face. The entire university as a whole is not responsible for something one of your professors did, or for providing a certain drink in the Eagle's Nest to you. Direct your anger or requests at a specific target and things might actually change.
•Does anyone know why AU is ranked number 82 for us news university rankings? Our average ACT score puts us on par with top 50 schools. What is causing our ranking to be so low?
•Dear Eagle Rants editors, I seriously thank you for your decision to post rants every day, but I think I may have become addicted to rants. I need more interesting things going on in my life, because sometimes you posting the rants is the highlight of my day.
•the people who make the 8track study and sleep playlists really need to stop putting Bon Iver in everything. we get it, they have calming music, but so do a lot of other artists and i'm sick of perfectly good playlists being ruined by the same Bon Iver songs i've heard 80 million times
•frat boys = sensitive
•I think awkward has replaced the old 'ironic.' Not everything is awkward, just like not everything used to be ironic. #wordchoice I wonder what Rants at Harvard would like...
•Is it bad that I want to meet somebody underneath the mistletoe? The holidays make me all romantic about things like that.
•@ "@antismoker" At least I know basic biology.
•Dear Roommate: That time you just blatantly played with yourself right in front of me... yeah I am looking forward to a month away from that.
•Why does eaglesecure insist on kicking me off every ten minutes during research- and by research I mean Netflix and Facebook
•I try and find one lost item each day to turn into lost and found. Cha-ching karma points.
•Due to personal issues I am taking a leave of absence from AU. I am going to miss it so much here. Every day at AU fills me with happiness. I can't wait to come back.
•@interest in nat'l politics and not spa: YES! i'm SIS but my second love... ok third love... is national politics. but it's real close to my second one (russian) :)
•About new academic regs: So since I got an A- instead of a B+, relatively speaking, my GPA is going to FALL?! Just because of some regulation change?! God I HATE A-'s, IT WAS STILL IN THE 90 RANGE! WTF arrggggggg
•Boys: text me and ask me over if you're interested. And make food.
•@I want a nice Jewish girl. Go to Hillel - maybe you'll actually find one thats not fat.
•What does "I like texting you mean"?!?!
•Why does this school not give out A+'s ?!??! Seriously annoyed by this.
•Listening to the Transformers soundtrack while writing essays = epic pump up to such a horrible task.
•How often do I make chemistry jokes? Periodically
•Is the Senator who wrote the TAMPON Bill still around or was that the only clever bill name she could come up with?
•@"OMG some one here plays roller coaster tycoon and MATH!!!!!??" Please explain how one plays at math. I am a science major so while I enjoy the occasional Taylor series, even I would never consider math part of playtime.
•Can't I just staple together all the EagleRants I've written this semester and turn those in to my professor? I'm pretty sure that would reach the 7 page mark he wanted.
•Ok, its been a whole semester and i would REALLY like to study in my study room for once (i hate going to the library all the time) but the same group of girls is ALWAYS in there. 24-7 i swear its like 'occupy 2nd floor lounge' or something
•Poll: What's your favorite soundtrack to write essays to? I'll go first - LOTR Return of the King.
•Hmm, that was awkward but enjoyable.
•I wish I met you last year so we'd have had more time to figure things out...
•I used to be one of those anti-long-distance relationship people. And now I'm in love and my only options are to break up or do long distance until the summer. (That is, if I can even come back here). I'm more than willing to wait until then if it means not breaking up.
•London > AU. I don't want to come back.
•How I Met Your Mother is the only way to get through all-nighters. #NPHyouareagod
•That awkward moment when you feel compelled to go to your internship even though you're really sick, because just one week ago you pretended to be sick so you could get out of going to your internship. Man, this semester is gonna be the death of me.
•@"Cute guy in the library... (please don't be a freshman, please don't be a freshman, please don't be a freshman!)" Too bad I'm a freshman. How sad is it that any form of relationship with a girl is so absent in my life that I wish you are talking about me? Too bad there's no way you could be talking about me no matter what grade I'm in.
•If you believe adjuncts are exploited and treated unfairly how about YOU PAY them extra money instead of starting the fiscal nightmare that will be an adjunct union that will raise tuition on us all!
•Will there be an Eagle next week despite that it will be finals week? I look forward to them every Monday. [Editor’s note: There’s no Eagle next week since it’s finals week. Look for the next Eagle Jan. 24!]
•to the eagle ranter who oh so nicely cheered me on when I had fourteen/fifteen days left abroad, THANK YOU. I now have eleven, but somehow feel much better.
•@@"person from arkansas: if you don't pronounce..." It's prnounced Ar-can-saw but you'd be surprised at how many people say "Ar-Kansas" or "Ark-an-sas"
•You know when you ask me "where is it?" or "did you hear what happened?" I have no idea at all what you are going on about, be more specific for God's sake.
•a girl in my class presented on dubstep and she played Rusko's 'Hold On' as an example and i am slightly embarrassed to admit it took every ounce of my will power to not completely spazz out in my seat when it dropped
•Dear Kogod advisors, I came to you for advice on which department I should apply to for my internship. I don't think the appropriate response should have been "oh, which ever one you think." That's not actual advising. Please check the title of your job.
•The Eagle Express salad tasted like soap yesterday. Can I get a refund?
•Why wasn't my last rant posted?? Was it because it mentioned hooking up and parties? And called someone an asshole?
•Gen Ed Professors, Your class sucks. I don't want to attend it and if you count off for attendance you suck because I can read the book from home and attain more information than the jibber jabber that flows out of your mouth. Bitterly yours, Gen Ed Hater
•NEWSFLASH - Rainboots are not legitimate winter boots. ITS SUNNY OUTSIDE.
•why does the toilet in the first stall of the women's restroom in mgc flush for so long? its a complete waste of water and its annoying when there's a line for the restroom and one of the toilets is out of commission in an already cramped area
Rant here!
