Eagle Rants Jan. 17

• i don't even go to this school, i just have a lot of feelings.

• @I dated a guy for two months here, we broke up a month and a half ago. The same thing happened to me and no it is not sad, pain is pain. Especially because all the boys here are jerks.

• Dear grammar person, you are ruining eagle rants. Some us are putting out our feelings honestly, and you're taking a massive dump on them by ripping on us for grammar. I thought it was hurtful when I got internet yelled at after I put myself out there. Try this, instead of thinking about sentences have a heart/feelings.

•Stop posting all of the rants where people correct the grammar of previous ranters. I feel like there's one sad individual who is responsible for all of them. They don't really add anything to eagle rants.

•One of the things I'll miss most about AU - besides not having to deal with any meaningful responsibility - is the ranting. Ah well. Bear the torch without me.

•Editor: Please never call Tim McBride a public figure again. His ego is big enough without the help. We're all friends at AU. I think we can publish anyone's name if we want to publish Tim's.

•@Hunger is a feeling, Manny. Thin is a skill. Sounds more like an eating disorder to me.

•Ever since rants went to everyday, there are so many boring ones on here. Not to be negative, but I find it hard to read them now that they haven't been sifted through.

•"@"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?" yo, they were clearly trying to be non-gender specific. come on now, you do go to this school, right? "To the person who thinks he or she is smart" sounds kinda dumb, doesn't it? you knew what that person meant, so chill.

•the 16 year old is no longer 16, he turned 17. wish him a happy birthday!!!!. i just wanna be his friend... :(

•I know a lot of people are excited about their roommates going home so they can have a room to themselves but... I've shared a room my entire life. I get really lonely when my roommates are gone.

•stop doing this to me. stop getting drunk with me, stop talking to me, stop telling me your life story, stop it stop it stop it, because you're breaking my heart and you don't even know it.

•No no no, you misunderstand me. I read LaL for funny conversations, not actual relationships/hookups/whatever. Repeating a meme over and over is not funny. (In case you don't understand, THEY aren't the cat lady. The cat lady is the e-Harmony cat lady from the video on Youtube. They are invoking the meme over and over, thus killing it.) I am taking offense to the lack of funny posts of late, especially during my finals. No big deal, just venting.

•Men and women are equal. We strive for equal right and opportunities; if thats true, why does student government have a women's initiative that receives student fees? Wheres the men's initiative? After all, we are all striving for equality, right?

•I am very sad. Help? [Editor's note: The counseling center can be a great place to go if you're looking to talk to someone. You can also reach out to friends, family, RAs, people in Kay, professors or fellow Eagle Ranters.]

•The Eagle has an anti-Fraternity bias. When a rant is published calling "frat boys" stupid, it gets published. When a return rant corrects that person by stating (with AU administration facts) that the avg. Fraternity man has a higher gpa than a non-affiliated man here at AU, the rant is not published. RECOGNIZE YOUR OWN BIAS EAGLE EDITORS [Editor’s note: A Rant is not published is when it is profane, over 100 words, hateful or identifies someone. Rants are never taken out just because content is disagreeable to the editors.]

•To "The awkward look guys give you when they find out your ring is a purity ring......" I know how you feel, but fortunately, so does my bf.

•who took the cat home with them over winter break? #Anderson3NorthCatAddiction

•ando3north why you so damn sexy?

•why are the soccer boys in ando3north so secluded from the rest of their floor. they're so hot and the least they can do is walk around shirtless a little more.

•I knew better. I knew that you're a player, I knew that you just wanted to have sex with me, but I still ended up liking you. I'm so stupid.

•I tried SO HARD. SO HARD. and I'm still gonna get a D in this GenED!

•Hey you, you probably won't read this, but you never know. I still love you and things will be so much easier when I'm there next year and we're together. I'll never give up on us, or you, and I just wanted to say I miss you.

•Someone PLEASE write an article about how harmful smoking really is! I just read an article about how there are RADIOACTIVE chemicals in cigarettes that are also present in secondhand smoke...

•To my roommate who complains about being sick and tired all the time Maybe you should trying getting 8 hours of sleep, working out a couple times a week, and eating right? I'm no doctor but seriously, eating pizza at 2am (yes I do hear you opening my fridge and feeding your pie hole) and then staying up for another 2 hours is not the best idea -Common sense PS STOP EATING MY PIZZA

•I need some Clawedvice - what do you do if the person you're in a relationship with loves you more than you love them?

•Ok, one week is enough, may I come back now?

•I hope Nick Rangos is having a good break. I know a few ways I could make it even better

•Why do so many people equate "financially successful" with "greedy, ignorant villain"? I'm actually a member of the 1%, and I'm terrified people will find out.

•HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK RANGOS! Anderson Hall loves you :)

•you had to type my name into the address bar to get my email. BUT YOU CAN'T SPELL IT RIGHT IN THE TEXT OF THE BODY?

•those times when you're reading eagle rants and forget that LDR means "long distance relationship" and not "Lana Del Rey" #yikes

•I'm a professor and just wanted to say thanks students who were kind enough to leave their extra dining dollars at the end of last semester with the person working the register at TDR. On the last Friday of exam week, as I was wading thru exams, it was really nice to get the unexpected gift of a free lunch when I went to TDR. (Not that it influenced my grading in any way!) In any event, this was nice of you all to do and I wanted to say thanks.

•Roommate, your music sucks. Also, it's offensive. You don't deserve your "Safe Space" sticker. Do what I do and invest in headphones.

•For the love of all that is holy, when are they going to tell us what's replacing McDonald's?! What the hell is going in where McDonald's was. I am v. anxious. [Editor’s note: We should find out sometime soon. We’re anxiously waiting too!]

•Nick Rangos has been here since Wednesday? Why didn't anyone tell me :(

•So I'm the loser that moved back up on Sunday...

•They're singing NSYNC in the hallway. I want to join...

•Here are some of my predictions for this new year at AU: 1. Cocina Verde will continue making unknown foods that even vegetarians are afraid of. 2. My neighbor will continue slamming the door as if she was being chased by the blue dudes from Avatar 3. The world will NOT end 4. That crazy guy will finally call me by my name 5. I will remain single. Possibly forever. 6.The window curtains will get fixed

•I always feel self conscious for taking the handicap stall... but i want the extra space

•Re-releasing good movies into 3D is a mean marketing tactic. Now I have to go see Beauty and the Beast when I have it on DVD already. I literally don't have a choice. I have to go see it in 3D. This is the Lion King all over again.

•Rude people on the bus this sunday, I was having a really hard time getting my large backpack, suitcase, camera bag, and chipotle into the bus and out of the way for you guys and you just made it harder by not moving at all for me. -Irked

•I miss the 90's. Give me some Fresh Prince and Hey Arnold

•All the hot boys were in Colorado...

•Anyway we can reupholster the couch in the lounge? It smells like inappropriate.

•Why can you get elk at restaurants but never venison? I never eat venison unless someone I know went off and killed a deer. I like venison.

•Can someone please explain what the "incubator" is? thanks. [Editor’s note: The Incubator is a collection of blogs run by The Eagle. They cover everything from adventure abroad to cooking to campus life.]

•I feel like I always like guys the most the moment I realize I can't have them, does anyone else feel this way?

•I MISS EAGLE RANTS! [Editor’s note: We’re baaaack!]

•Ah the slow realization that one's roommate is STILL probably not on strong enough medication. Good times.

•To my senior seminar professor who changed the day and time of our class: YOU SUCK. YOU HAVE COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED MY SCHEDULE.

•Why are upper-level SIS classes so hard to get into?

•The Z burger fries are the exact wrong serving size to be any good for anything.

•I'm not so much excited about the first day of classes... but I am very excited about Eagle Rants returning.

•Is your ramen really Korean?

•EAGLE RANTS COME BACK TO ME!!!!

•I've been waiting on eagle rants all break. It's the least you can do to post them before noon. P.S. Happy first day of classes

Rant here!
