•So they're giving Bill Clinton a WONK of the Year award. Does that make him Willy Wonka?
•Ranting from China has got to be the greatest thing ever.
•I WAS SO CLOSE TO GETTING A TICKET TO HEAR BILL CLINTON. KPU, PLEASE RELEASE MORE BEFORE I HAVE TO PULL A MONICA LEWINSKY TO GET ONE.
•The bill clinton wonk thing is hilarious and embarrassing and I'm glad my identity isn't tied up in AU because my self esteem would be hurt if it was.
•B-I-D-D-I-E, ready for So-ror-i-ty.
•I wish people were as friendly and open as they were welcome week.
•AM I THE ONLY GIRL NOT RUSHING??? ugh...
•@Freshman with no internship: I'm a senior and I have never had an internship. You have your whole life to work. Don't waste your time filing papers as someone's glorified secretary and sacrifice taking the amazing classes AU has to offer.
•@"Help a sister out!"; I graduated AU last year and my boyfriend and I are in a long distance relationship now. I won't lie, the first few weeks are hell (and I found myself crying on the floor at more than one point), but it gets easier. You will settle into a routine that works for both of you. My bf and I skype each night for an hour and visit every other month. Don't let anyone tell you it won't work. If you both put in the effort, it will work.
•I feel bad ignoring all of my dad's calls, but I really hate talking on the phone.
•My cleaning lady doesn't know how to load a dish washer.
•@long distance girl: We are very lucky to live in a generation that allows us to easily text, call, skype, email, facebook message, and facetime chat with long distance partners. If you love each other and are willing to make some adjustments, your long distance relationship will be fine. -fellow long distancer
•I agree with yesterday's ranter. Eagle, it is ridiculous to deny us a sex column by claiming you have no one to write it when there is clearly someone willing to write it. Why are you so scared of an anonymous columnist? You still have an editing process, so it's not like you won't have ultimate say in what is being published. I think your readers deserve a valid explanation for why they are being denied a sex column other than 'oh well some other writers use their real names'. [Editor’s note: Cosmo, Seventen, GQ and a variety of other magazines offer great sex columns. Why not turn to them to get your sex questions answered?]
•How about a bubble tea place to replace McDonald's? No one here remembers the old bubble tea place on campus. :(
•anyone down for an ice fight?
•Is anyone else bothered by the fact that Disney Channel no longer has awesome cartoons but now only has preschool educational shows and sassy/sexy teen shows about wannabe rockstars? I miss cartoons! What happened to Goof Troop, Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers, Ducktales, Talespin, Bonkers, etc?
•sidereel is being sucky. replacement ideas anyone?
•Seriously, stop with the looks/staring. Yes I'm rushing, but right now I'm just sitting in MGC, so stop looking at me like I'm a penguin at the zoo or something.
•Thank you for daily eagle rants! It makes my day brighter every single day. :) [Editor’s note: You’re welcome!]
•Eagle Rants should have an app.
•What other schools have rants? There should be a national college rant off competition. That would be the shiz.
•A sex column would be completely inappropriate.... this is a university, not an issue of cosmopolitan magazine. There are plenty of other mediums for advice on sex. A university paper has much greater potential addressing other social and academic issues, and let's be honest, your probably 19 years old. Claiming that you or other students like you are capable of providing helpful sexual advice is probably not true... except when it comes to stuffing your mouth i guess... Your post was just as rude so I figure I'd give you a taste of your own BS
•The sex advice columnist comment was spot on. Editor - why stick to some ridiculous policy where everyone loses?
•Why is it that I'm now seeing you EVERYWHERE??? I'm two years below you, and we have completely different majors. I hate this so much because now I'm distracted because all I can think about right now is how you've seen me naked.
•@ "•aepie please never go to a basketball game again your stupidity amazes me" Your inability to differentiate between the food "pie" and the Greek letter "Pi" leads me to believe your own stupidity would amaze you too
•Hell is other people.
•All you wannabe hipsters at AU bother me. Why make comments like "I want a hipster guy so badly." You should want a guy for more reason than him appearing to be a hipster. That's like me saying I want a guy because he's a thug: DUMB!
•There are probably only 5 real hipsters here at AU. If you want to see a real hipster go to Williamsburg in Brooklyn, Richmond in Virgina, or something of that sort. You all DO NOT KNOW what truly makes someone a hipster.
•I have a very close extended family of 20 cousins. The oldest cousin just got engaged and married last year. Now the second oldest cousin got engaged and will be married in September. Would it be rude if I got engaged before September? I don't want to steal her spotlight at the wedding because she very much likes being the center of attention. But at the same time I don't feel like I should have to put my life on hold for a year in order to spare her delicate ego. Advice?
•Editor: I appreciate your journalistic integrity and how you post rants even if they are slightly insulting to you or to the eagle. Props. [Editor’s note: Thanks, it’s appreciated!]
•"aepie please never go to a basketball game..."- at least they were enthusiastic. they were more fun than the whole student section. quit being a fun sucker
•I exercise and I exercise and I exercise, yet I am still gaining weight. ugh. I hate becoming unattractive. But I am no way going to try diet pills. grr
•Reading They Say/I Say makes me want to ____ myself.
•BILL CLINTON IS SPEAKING AT AU. I'M SO EXCITED. AHHHHH.
•You all speak of the tons of clubs on campus. A few flaws in this: 1) there actually are not that many clubs. Sorry that I don't appreciate the finer joys of anime or whatever. 2) I've been to some clubs. No one ever shows up. No one! It makes me a little annoyed.
•You know what I really want on campus? Picnic tables. I do not understand why a campus as green as AU is does not have more places that allows students to work outside. AU should invest in picnic tables for students.
•@Person with the bfriend at GDubs: Sorry, since the event is free we needed to put a cap on attendance to Founder's Day, so it's AU only. We know this sucks but that's how it has to be. But hey it's free!!!!!!
•The quality of eagle rants is really going down, and I don't think my father, the inventor of Toaster Strudel, would be too pleased to hear about this.
•How do you know that Pumped up Kicks is about Columbine? I can see it in some of the lyrics, but in the beginning it says "Robert's got a quick hand" and the two guys were named Eric and Dylan...
•Impeach McBride! We want Richards!
•@"Am I lazy if I'm a second semester freshman and I don't have an internship?" NO. I'm a sophomore and I'm in the process of getting one now. Internships are great, but you can do them in the summer or next year, don't stress it! And don't let the overachievers get to you. You're going to be great.
•Why doesn't club sports get more money? Also, when will the Eagle post an article about club sports? [Editor’s note: As we don’t have the staff and resources to cover every AU-related sporting event, we focus our coverage on varsity sports.]
•I feel so bad when I have to leave my cat at home all day by herself but when I am home she ignores me. #Cat Lady Problems
•You are giving me mixed signals, but I have decided: you do not like me unless you text me first. So text me first.
•Your rants are inane.
•Oh. My. God. Blow your nose.
•I finally saw him again today! So much happiness!!! :)
•Today we talked about lion prides and how brother lions usually rule a pride together in my psych class, and all I could think about was if only this could have happened in Lion King. Mufasa wouldn't have had to die, and then of course I kept hearing Scar saying "Mufasa" in that weird voice in my head.
•Let's get fro yo, it has like no calories.
•Stop blasting Stereo Hearts and Spanish music ALL THE TIME. Use your indoor voices, too. Do you realize how thin the walls are?
•@ floor with a cat face where are the cats? Tell me now please cats cats cats meow cats meow meow meow Cats cats cats CAT
•Don't be that girl. The girl that hears you say something valid in a class discussion but no one else does, so you raise your hand and claim credit for it. Don't. Be. That. Girl.
•Dear whoever-it-was-who-put the "Moriarty is real" posters up in the MGC bathrooms: I love you. I don't even watch Sherlock and I love you.
•So, what would be an appropriate dress to wear to Founder's Day? Like formal? Or...?
•Part of my job is to deal with a lady who is undoubtedly the daughter of an illiterate man and a woman who can't tell time. Over the course of the past year, we have gone back and forth bickering at each other. I received an e-mail at 12:49 today asking me to have a report in by 10 this morning. I have officially had it. If I could choose one person to exile to Siberia, it would certainly be this woman, who does nothing more than sell pieces of glass. Do something useful with your life.
•Blowing my nose is soooo much more satisfying than sniffling ever 30 seconds. Honestly. I'm not a paid spokesperson or anything. Tissues!
•Dear Davenport Lounge, How come I can't pay exact change for something that I want out of your fridge instead of having to wait for ten people ordering their super-triple-macchiato delights? Also, please put cup lids, those paper grippy things and trash cans for us tea drinkers and help avoid fights between caffeine junkies! PS. Odwalla mango protein is amazing, more!
•Anybody else have dreams that Nick Rangos is their knight in shining armor, rescuing them from the musty tower that is McDowell?
•Question: Can non-AU students go to the Founder's Ball? I don't see why not, and I'd really like my non-AU boyfriend to come!
•where are my Jan 23 rants plz.
•so, uh, I wrote a rant about how you don't like me, unless you text me first. You texted me first. DON'T DO THIS TO MY EMOTIONS.
•I like you as more than a friend and you'll never know. mainly because we haven't become friends yet. but all's good.
•never mind. you only text me first when you want something from me.
•All i want is a GF, not a hook up, not someone who is a biddy, just a girl who will hang out with me, talk politics and be good friends, thats no so hard to ask for an AU girl? Right?
•Don't be afraid of a long distance relationship! I'm in one and I'm so happy. Breathing room and support all in one!
•Is it bad that the question I want to see answered on Downton Abbey is what the dog's name is?
•Genuine rant time: I'm so sick of people getting mad at my for stupid things and then telling other people about it instead of me, so that I eventually find out about it secondhand. Seriously, we're in college. If you can't confront me yourself about your issues with me, maybe you should consider going back to high school.
•It's 9:30pm. Do you know where your eagle rants are? [Editor’s note: Right here!]
•I Like to eat at the Y. If anyone else wants to eat at the Y with me let me know. I am going there saturday night
•Really down on Greek organizations right now. I just watched my girlfriend go through this whole week long process only to be punched into an expensive random number generator that got it wrong. I don't know if I'll even go to AKPsi events tomorrow.
Rant here!
