• Dear editor, I didn't ever want to be one of those biddies, but you leave me no choice. Please get your crap together and post these earlier. Love, A Sad Fan
• I got an epic lottery number, but put a deposit on a really nice apartment weeks ago. Oh, Irony...
• The real reason I never de-friend people from my high school that I never talk to? I want them all to know when something amazing happens in my life and how happy I am.
• Dear Editor, I know that you have a life and all, but could you please get rants up before the Phonathon starts at 5:45? It would be very much appreciated. [Editor’s Note: Sorry to let you down again today. So close.]
• i'll miss you too much if you give me up for her
• Anyone else find it funny that the Eagle Rants tab is no on top of the news tab?
• Dear HOBY alum that posted the outstanding comment, I LOVE YOU! LOVE, HOBY ALUM '09
• @ hard to respect any religion... infringe on modern human rights: Hallelujah!
• Wait, it's Valentine's Day? I thought it was Tuesday.
• @ "Seriously? If this is who I think it is, please just text or call me instead if using Eaglerants to talk to me" I don't think I'm who you think I am. I never got her number, and have only ever seen her at the party :(
• @"I’d like to see you pass accounting…" I'd like to see you pass a class that's actually difficult, accounting is nothing compared to Real Analysis, Kant, or Modern Physics. These classes(and respective subjects) teach you to think, accounting teaches nothing but accounting.
• I may have told you that I have a thing against Valentine's day, and I'm pretty sure you don't read these. But I love you.
• Oh-ho, this is RIPE for parody!
• What coup d'etat!? Explain! [Editor’s Note: I seized control of Eagle Rants from our beloved Editor in Chief]
• Glad there are so many Seussical lovers out there...I appreciate the props. "I was just a no one only yesterday. You showed up and showed me something more." Happy Valentine's Day!
• @AwkwardRangosEncounter: You should have just said hello! He is actually really friendly and would have probably laughed about it :)
• Hey, you're an RA. Maybe you should try not to be completely drunk and then do unspeakable things to somebody's room.
• AU PLAYERS DID DR. HORRIBLE'S SING ALONG BLOG LAST SEMESTER AND I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT. THE HORROR!
• What the F are AU memes?
• the new SigEp pledge class is SO CUTE!!! I hope a lot of them are single ;)
• C- Will you be my valentine?(: Sincerely, E.
• Wait, whats the new frat thats coming??
• The ranter here discreetly quoting Arrested Development deserves a BIG high five.
• Silly liberals, logic is for libertarians. Why are y'all so foolish?
• @”Parenting is one of the very few thing on this planet that BILLIONS and BILLIONS of people do…Being only a “mom” or “dad” (this issue isn’t about gender) and nothing else is, if anything, pathetic.” Well having a paid career is something that BILLIONS of people do as well. So I guess they are all pathetic too.
• @everyone saying getting a masters then being a mom isn't a waste of time: I totally agree! Anything women don't do at home with the kids is a waste of time.
• i'm anti-anti-valentine's day.
• I KISSED A GIRL AND I LIKED IT.
• You guys. chill out about the rants. unless they're posted AFTER the day is over (i.e. 12:01am), you can't complain. leave the editor alone.
• "This is going to be the first Valentine’s Day I’ve spent single since freshman year of high school." Boo hoooooo. Please cry me a river. Someone call the wahhhmbulance, because someone over here hasn't had to be alone on Valentine's Day since freshman year! THAT'S ASTONISHING. Considering it's a facking hallmark holiday that doesn't mean shart and I've spent 20 years without a Valentine, you get no sympathy tokens today, peabrain.
• this girl is sitting across from me in the library trying to read for sustainable earth..I've never seen someone procrastinate so hard omg its driving me insane i just want to kill her
• oh my god she's still here...all she has to do is read like 3 pages but no...im losing my mind
• HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, TIM MCBRIDE!!!
• SHUT THE FACK UP ABOUT THE STAY AT HOME MOM AND YOUR OPINION ABOUT HER GOING TO GRAD SCHOOL OR GETTING A JOB!!! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS RANT-WORTHY, RANT ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will literally find everyone ranting the same dam (bahaha you can't censor this because my grammar indicates something beavers build!) thing and stuff a banana in your ear until you get that there are other funnier and better things to rant about. [Editor’s Note: Actually, “damn” is OK too]
• @ yea. i hate you (regarding roommates); see, it's funny, because my roommate never talks to me. Anyway, you may want to address this with your roommate. Or at least tell her/him to f**k off to her/his face.
• "What is love? baby don't hurt me. No more"
• @“Despite what Oprah and Dr. Phil will tell you, being a parent alone isn’t worth jack.” Wow, you make me ashamed to call myself a feminist. I never thought I would agree with Rick Santorum on anything. But despite what the most radical feminists and corporate slaves tell you, women can be plenty happy and fulfilled from parenting full time. There are millions of parenting books out there filled with knowledge of proper parenting. Devoting yourself to the study and practice of parenting is a worthy endeavor my all means.
• my friends don't believe I rant almost every day... and they make the eagle rants almost every day. THIS ONE'S FOR YOU.
• As much as my ex ruined me, I still miss her.
• I wish I had a husband like Joe Dubois on Medium. He's so perfect.
• @”My mother is a lawyer. When I was growing up she was able to cook, clean, parent two kids, and still make 6 figures working part time (3 days a week till 4).” I’m skeptical. Did she go to Harvard Law School?
• Tonight at TDR i had to drink my water out of a bowl. There were no cups. It was alright :)
• I''m basking in a sea of happiness. Even though nothing terribly exciting happened today I can't stop smiling. There are so many possibilities. You, go seek them. [Editor’s Note: Bask on honey, bask on]
• If we haven't spoken in more than a month, don't facebook me just to say hi. We haven't spoken because you are CRAZY.
• The Leonard Formal Lounge is rarely open for studying even during the designated hours!! There are people chillin on the couch in there right now mouthing to me it's not open. Not. Cool.
• Team Gossip: Happy V-Tines Day!!
• Roses are red, Violets are blue, You might be married, But I still like you. :)
• I really, really hate Adele. Her songs are boring and repetitive and just because 'she's classy' doesn't mean I have to enjoy her. Let me have my opinions without attacking me over something so trivial, thanks.
• "do you remember me" of course i do! You're adorable, lets be friends ;)
• @”Being only a “mom” or “dad” (this issue isn’t about gender) and nothing else is, if anything, pathetic.” You have your whole life to work; you only have a select time to parent your kids. I think not giving kids a full time parent is selfish. Whether that parent is a mom or a dad is irrelevant. But kids deserve to be given someone’s full attention. You can work after your kids grow up.
• I'm scared. Each time we talk on the phone, there are more and more awkward pauses. And I'm scared you are losing interest and I'm not as awesome as you thought I was.
• @Being only a “mom” or “dad” (this issue isn’t about gender) and nothing else is, if anything, pathetic.” People who claim others are “pathetic” when said others are not hurting anyone, are the people who are depressed by their own life situation and try to bring down others. Just live and let live man. If one person gets happiness and fulfillments from working, then great for them. If another gets happiness and fulfillment from being a full time parent them great for them. Everyone has different needs and everyone will make the choice that is best for them.
• @id as in identification card, or “the dark, inaccessible part of personality”?: uh, the former
• i cant wait for my roommate to come back and eat his sandwich because i farted on it.
• wonk shirt bonfire. dusk. lets burn all of the wonk campaign.
• The eagle rants editor is smaller than a house [Editor’s Note: Truth. I also weigh more than a duck]
• The eagle rants editor is larger than a medium sized cat
• The eagle rants editor is definitely not millard fillmore
• Actually if parenting is done right, then it is a full time job. Otherwise, you are choosing more money over your children’s interests.
• I'm Rick James B****!
• @ Let’s have more sex. One time wasn’t enough: Ha, I wonder if this is about me
• If my accounting professor has another example that is Jersey Shore related and makes us work in groups, I may have to kick a puppy.
• Great post Stacia you did a MUCH btteer job than I did of highlighting this important subject! I'll be pointing people in your direction today to help spread the word and raise awareness. Thanks!
• About that time the SG President nominated his roommate to be Student Trustee. #nepotismwonk
• That awkward moment when you can tell that an Eagle rant that simultaneously praises an ATV show yet demeans one of the hosts on said show was obviously submitted by the host of said show for no reason. Except maybe for ego-stroking, I guess.
• Considering how much of our tuition goes towards paying AU's administrators, you'd think they'd have better things to do than write a Letter to the Editor in The Eagle every time their department gets lightly criticized for something or another. Stop writing about how you're eventually going to fix the problem, and fix it already!
• Am I leading you on? I don't want to hurt you, but I'm really confused and have the emotional capacity of a rock right now. Just don't try to kiss me, okay? It would be unprofessional and we'd need to stop whatever we're doing now... "I just wanna use your love, tooniiiiight, I don't wanna lose your love, toniiiiight". [Editor’s Note: JOSIE’S ON A VACATION FAR AWAY]
• Articles like these put the consumer in the driver seat-very ipmrotant.
• All of my questions setteld-thanks!
• My mom is my valentine every year and I'm perfectly happy with that :)
• Your posntig lays bare the truth
• The movie rental place in the library is a great resource for classes and is NOT a waste of money at all! I've had to watch many foreign language films for class and the AU library is the only place where I would be able to do so (they were not online or at a local library).
• To the person in TDR who I awkwardly looked in the eye as we both took bites of our food: sorry. That was really awkward.
• Trying on all of my outfits to find the best one to say, "I know we're platonic friends, but let's bang anyway since it's Valentine's day." Thoughts?
• I'm single for Valentine's day for the first time in years and I couldn't be happier! Everyone should love themselves :)
• I shave my legs before every time we hang out JUST IN CASE we end up getting naked. I'd be down...
• happy anna howard shaw day!
• I know the person you really are and contrary to the whole school's opinion of you, you are a terrible heartless person. You only have friends because you have drug hookups and girls think you are cute.
• "Magggananana." -Punjabi.
• People who freak out when Eagle Rants aren't up yet clearly need to get a hobby. (rants on rants on rants)
• Extremely helpful arctile, please write more.
• Ok seriously? y'all need to cool your jets with the whole "WHERE MY RANTS AT?" Rants are a priviledge, not a right. The editor will get to them when he/she gets to them. I suggest you quit your b!tching and be thankful that they are posted everyday rather than every week like the beginning of the year.
• @person who wants more sororities. Yeah, sure there are more fraternities than sororities on campus, but a number of the fraternities on campus are Co-ed. If you really want more sororities on campus, then rather than complaining through Eagle Rants, why don't you start one yoursel?
• @"Being only a “mom” or “dad” (this issue isn’t about gender) and nothing else is, if anything, pathetic." That is one of the most ridiculous and ignorant things I have ever read on Eagle Rants. Your mom obviously had it easy given that she made bank and took care of healthy children. For some families, life isn't as simple and as sheltered as it is for you.
• You put your feet under my chair, cough on me repeatedly without covering your mouth, and chew your gum like a cow. I hate your existence.
• Someone stole one of my Valentine's Day cards :(
• Dear Girl with beautiful eyes. We talked at the Tenley campus bus stop about how cold it was, boarded a crowded bus, shared some smiles, I waved good bye. I'd like to see you again. Where are you? :)
• @person complaining about the library movie rental place: you are obviously not a film major
• Women's Initiative: I'm serious. When do we get our Plan-B vending Machine?
• But for real, the AU health center should not be forcing women to get pap smears before allowing them to get a birth control prescription. Is WI doing anything about this? No...
• Does anyone else find it ironic that Plan B (a concentrated dose od birth control) is over the counter while the lower dose birth control pills are not. WTF! End women's oppression. Allow women to control their reproductive futures without unneeded obstacles and costs. Women's Initiative, get off your a** and do something to actually help women!
• @people freaking out over grad school girl: What's wrong with being a professional student? I plan on getting like 4 masters degrees because I love school. And I'd rather spend my trust fund money on education than on cocaine like my brother or diamonds like my cousin. just sayin
• @girl wanting to date trust fund guy: I'm actually trust fund girl. But I'm up for a date ;)
• The eagle-rants editor was the editor in chief? I thought she was in London!
• I want to be a lawyer... I think? I have no idea, and law school is hard.
• For a school that claims to be so progressive, AU could offer a lot more masters degrees online. They seem to be doing well putting more and more courses online, especially summer courses. Which is awesome. But having degrees online would be even more awesome. Get on this registrar. (If registrar people even read rants...)
• Okay, seriously. Enough with the rants about grad school/stay-at-home parents. Kthxbye
• I'm definitely not a Dav regular but the quality of the music and the Chai has gone down hill this semester. Not hatin' but it used to be better.
• I need to either graduate today or never graduate. The wait until May is killing me!!!
• @Person who knows a Fiona. I'm not in RHA, so I'm not the Fiona you know, but I'm glad you think the name is pretty. Scottish 19th century names created by a random writer FTW!
• I do care about "intellectual fulfillment". That's why I read books, magazines, and blogs that interest me. I have interesting discussions with my friends and family. And as far as I know, all that stuff is not costing me 50k plus. Intellectual fulfillment need not be so expensive.
• The Eagle needs to print less newspapers and invest money into a better website. [Editor’s Note: We’re working on a redesign right now, actually]
• I wish you could just ask friends out on dates and not worry about coming on too strong. I just want to get to know some friends better, into potential opportunities.
• @"I can’t tell if you like me or not. I have a boyfriend, and I know how opposed you are to cheating. I think you like me and you won’t tell me because you don’t want to be ‘the other’." You hit the nail on the head. The situation isn't ideal for me, but I've got enough self-control to make the best of it in a mature way.
• Every day is singles awareness day.
• valentine's day...easily one of the worst holidays of the year. couples shouldn't need a day to remind them of the love they supposedly have for each other. and it just makes single people feel like s***.
• Ana Lucia is my Valentine
• have u ever met someone at a party, or other social event, only to not get their number (or any method of contact)? I met a great girl this weekend, she was clearly interested in me as well...and I may never see her again. i'm an idiot.
• sorry if my perfume was a little strong this morning!
• i looked nice today because it's a Tuesday with the majority of my classes NOT because of vday!
• My friend was there for me in the hard times, and I really wanna be there for her too. But I just can't take her constant moping and depression. She refuses to take any of my suggestions, she won't get professional help, and all she does is feel sorry for herself. It's really bringing me down, and at a time when I am finally happy with my life. Would I be an awful friend for telling her the friendship is over?
• Farewell former Eagle Rants editor, they won't be the same without you.
[Editor’s Note: We can’t dwell in the past, we must push forward into a bright and better future.]
Rant here!
