•Dear random person who stopped me a few days ago outside Katzen to look at the moon: thanks! It was indeed somewhat terrifying.
•YOSSARIAN LIVES!
•Hughes watches the mcdowell lovers. HUGHES
•@New Senators, There were two of you, also I dont mind that you have a boyfriend ;)
•okay really, if you're a freshman in the SG, stop writing eagle rants about the experience and start being productive.
•@ Rick Santorum ranter: Yes, I am disgusted. Many things about Rick Santorum disgust me. He and his followers appear to have no grasp of how human reproduction should work/be regulated in this day and age.
•And that's why you ALWAYS LEAVE A NOTE.
•@FoundersDayAnswerers, Thanks for your help! I can't wait :D - Founders Day Questioner
•"My tears gone cold I'm wondering why, I got out of bed at all"
•Why are you tearing my heart out piece by piece? If I'm not good enough for you, just pull off the band-aid and get it over with, so I can get over you.
•I'm scared if I break-up with him, I will become addicted to painkillers to numb by all consuming loneliness.
•@katzen hipster hotties: I know EXACTLY who you're talking about... He's the reason I started studying in Katzen
•NO TOUCHING!
•Yay for grad students who read eagle rants. (and leave eagle rants)
•Yes, I also sometimes purposefully leave my blinds open while I change. I like to imagine that guys are staring at me and fantasizing about me. It raises my low self-esteem.
•@Neopets ranter from the other day I LOVE YOU
•@Isn't it ironic that AU is a dry campus, yet RHA created a floor for substance free housing? Substance free housing will require students who are committed to a substance-free lifestyle to pledge to not come back to the dorm under the influence. It's not ironic at all, it's just one more way AU is creating a more comfortable living environment for all residents.
•When did Eagle Rants become a Dear Abby column!? The definition of a rant is to "utter or express with violence or extravagance". Guess what? I don't come to Eagle Rants to read about people asking for advice. That's what counselors and psychologists are for.
•Everyone plays hacky-sack on the quad. YOU ARE NOT ORIGINAL.
•To the girls playing ukulele on the quad, YOU ARE NOT ORIGINAL EITHER.
•@"I can't stop getting mad at my bf at the fact that it has been 4 years and he hasn't proposed yet" I mean I'm no expert but you should at least explain/get him to see your point of view. Can you explain why it's so important to you?
•Dear fellow students, I apologize for screaming in the Mudbox...my friend decided to walk up behind me while I was focussed on my reading and whisper "Don't move."
•No but really sophomore, your bangs make you look even more like a gremlin. And you would have pretty good hair for a brunette if you just stopped using an 80's curling iron to let your bangs be the first sign of detection that you may in fact run into something.
•I'm so sick of your attitude. Get over yourself and stop being so crazy.
•STOP BEING SO ATTRACTIVE AND PERFECT i'm clearly still in love with you and i want you to acknowledge that
•Does anyone find it odd that the cleaning ladies hover around the bathroom on the second floor of MGC a little too much. I swear, I think they clean the men's room at least 4 times a day.
•@3.7 liters of water: im pretty sure that includes the water in food, not just pure water or juice intake. You're probably getting a lot more than. 5 liters without knowing it
•When someone in class today said "homo sapiens", my professor felt the need to laugh at the fact that he said "homo". Wow, really? At AU? Am I the only one that was pissed off by this?
•I have Jack Sparrow and am currently holding him ransom... get at me-King of the Bridge
•Tdr is not the same without the bump and grind music... can't get my thang on- King of the Bridge
•Thank G-d for big sean #idoit
•HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY TO JV FLORENCE.
•My roommate awkwardly dances to Super bass when she thinks no one's looking. She's wrong.
•4 8 15 16 23 42
•Don't get fancy, just get... :P
•Did anyone else realize that McDonald's had the LAST SOFT SERVE MACHINE ON CAMPUS? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :c
•That awkward moment when you meet someone from McDowell and ask them if they were one of the ones rumored to be having sex for all of Hughes to see, only to find out that they were not. Oops.
•Leonard: Can you see people in Hughes if they change without the blinds closed? We can't see you and we've been changing for a while anyway, but if you can see us... problem.
•@The ranter concerned about water consumption: You should be drinking about two-three liters of water a day, based on your level of physical activity and your consumption of other dehydrating substances like coffee and soda. Listen to your body - it knows what it wants. A good rule of thumb is to drink just a little more than you think you need, and to spread it out over the whole day. Good luck!
•i love my boyfriend! he makes me so happy. i'm the luckiest guy in the world. <3
•Are we exchanging Valentine's Day gifts? I don't want to make you feel bad if you don't get me one...
••@ADTR CONCERT GUY!!!!! DUDE GO BY YOURSELF!!! THEY ARE AWESOME!!!! - I would go by myself, but I'm too scared of getting trampled in a mosh pit. hahaha I hope you also like Rise Against!
•Somehow, we manage to see each other every single day. I don't think I mind.
•AU should have specific housing for people who want the option to have pets (and by applying for this housing, you have to understand that there will be pets around and you should consider your allergies, cleanliness level, maintenance, possible destruction of room, etc).
•I'm addicted to Lost
•I seriously wish I could drop out and transfer to my college back home some times, where they offered to Pay ME to go there. wahhh #mother's expectations
•I just want to write like 20 eagle rants. I'm having the worst week of my life. (not really the worst, but still pretty awful). PS: how did pretty awful become an expression? strange.
•SOMEBODY EXPLAIN HOW THE FOUNDERS DAY BALL WAS SOLD OUT AT 8:01.
•To all of the depressed ranters, go to the eagle's nest and purchase Hint of Lime Tostitos, and get the Jalepeno Cheddar dip that's right next to it. (don't warm the dip up, oh, and don't worry its not too spicy). Seriously, so delicious, and it will cheer you up, I promise.
•Didn't get a ticket to founders day. Yet I was literally waiting on the website at 8pm. It sold out in 10 seconds. Really AU. Really.
•I don't want to celebrate my birthday this February. That's when you know you've hit an all time low. Maybe I'll just listen to All Time Low on my birthday. lol
•Really? Founders day ball tickets gone in ten seconds? It's a competition to see who has the fastest computer.
•FML 'nuff said.
•soooo ronery.
•So today, I came to the realization... that... I'm unattractive to most females based on shallow standards. However, tons of gay guys have been attracted to me. sucks to be a straight guy at AU. lol
•[insert rant about Founders Day Ball tickets selling out in less than a minute, which will be identical to every other rant today]
•I got a Founders Day Ball ticket...none of my friends, including my boyfriend, did. FML.
•I don't think that the 'perfect roommate' exists. There will always be something wrong with whoever you're living with, regardless of how good of friends you are. Just takes time to realize it. Please prove me wrong, if you can.
•Do straight people go to Town club too?
•we here at the Phonathon have a tolerance. But that tolerance has a limit. Please do not cross that limit, or all of us will be forced to act in ways I don't think you want to know
•None of my friends got Founders Day Tickets... what, am I supposed to go by myself?
•okay so anyone else think the housing fair was completely useless? All the places were at least 20 minutes away. I am poor as it is and could not afford to bring a car down here. Anyone know of another website I can go to for housing?
•Does anybody know a good place to get a tarot card reading here in DC? I feel so lost lately, anything could help.
•Why can't a guy like the lifetime channel or chick flicks? wtf.
•I am graduating in May and the fact that I have no friends to sit with me at the commencement makes me miserable. What's even worse is that my parents are going to fly 18 hours to witness that misery. I am so sorry Mom and Dad!
•@person interested in the BDSM community: I was just like you two months ago, so I know how you feel. Fetlife is a great website, its kind of like the facebook for the fetish community, and you can find many events on there. A lot of people there are older though, for college students DC TNG is a great place to meet people. They meet every Tuesday evening at a bar in Dupont. I don't want to post the address here, but just type "DC TNG" into google and you'll find it right away. Hope to see you there! :D
•Okay to all the biddies stop walking past my door and talking in an amazingly loud and annoying voice. We get it your happy about joining the sorority, but please stop it.
•Who is that guy who sits at the far back desk in the Residence Hall Association office at Anderson? He always looks so busy. Poor guy - doesn't he know RHA is a joke?
•@ADTR fan! they are awesome and have seen them twice. Wish I could see them on Sunday but that's the Super Bowl and am a huge Giants fan
•Is there a word for fear of airports?
•I wonder if the Editor ever submits rants. [Editor's note: This editor has yet to submit a Rant.]
•How did the Founder's Day ball tickets disapear in under a minute...talk about frustrated.
•Who designed these effing chairs?! Whoever you are, YOU SUCK!
•I'm a straight male who attended the S&M 101 event on campus. While it freaked me out more than a little bit, I applaud AU for bringing them here. I'm never going to try anything they talked about, but I learned a lot about the people who are part of that culture. They're good, normal people (the one lady worked for the EPA) who just have some kinks. [Editor's note: Don't we all.]
•Honestly, I'm into some BDSM stuff. But I really don't think money should be going toward this 101 thing. Come on guys, this information is readily available on the Internet if you need it. And I completely understand if BDSM makes some people uncomfortable and they don't want it advertised all over campus, knowing their tuition money helps pay for that.
•to the people howling in the amphitheater/out there window/wherever at night: can you like, not?
•so apparently Tim McBride makes $13k a year? jesus christ. That is ridiculous- that's how much the cleaning lady makes A YEAR to clean my dorm. what the heck. [Editor's note: Actually, last time this editor checked, the SG president makes $8,500 a year; same for the vice president, secretary, comptroller, Women's Initiative director, SUB director and KPU director. http://www.theeagleonline.com/news/story/next-years-sg-president-could-get-raise/]
•to the 24 year old w/ a not-wanting-commitment bf: I'm turning 25 in two months, w/ a bf who has treated me like garbage for the past 6 years. I feel your pain, and (since I'm too chicken to fix my own situation despite knowing it's so completely messed up) I really hope you get out of that mess ASAP! Props to you and it's nice to know that someone else feels my pain, however selfish that may be. Maybe someday soon I'll be able to follow my own advice...
•Our student body president is paid *how* much per year? Tell me it isn't so.
•Is it just me or does some kids in Clark Hall complain about everything. They took out a broken fridge and you would have thought the stock market crashed.
•So out of the 500 tickets sold, how many did McBride and the rest of his SG cronies reserve for themselves and their dates/friends?
•"I'll let you know by Wednesday" does not mean "I'll let only those who made it know by Wednesday, and never communicate again to those who didn't" leaving the ones who didn't make it to find out via Eagle Rants. A week later. Thanks, SG. #Rude
•Dear Freshman Biddies (both male and female) of Anderson Three, THE STUDY LOUNGE IS A QUIET PLACE. So take your mundane and inane conversations about who's doing who and how drunk you're going to get this weekend and take them to your rooms or the floor lounge. I shouldn't have to move when I'm trying to do work. There was a time when Anderson Three South was an Honors floor. Respect the legacy. Sincerely, A Centennial Sophomore who Just Wants to get some Damn Work Done.
•So let's hold a Founders Day Ball. Let's put it in a really exciting venue, open it up to the whole AU community (incl. staff & alumni) for the first time, make the tickets free, distribute them online, and only offer 500 of them. Yeah. How about we get some event planners in the SG who actually understand event PLANNING?
•So is this school really diverse? (ps. I will hopefully be writing for the eagle some day) [Editor's note: Woot woot!]
•Why does every article published in the Eagle have to be corrected at a later date? The words correction appended on every article is not a good sign for a paper. You all can do better.
•I've been wearing a lot of sexy, lacy underwear lately.....but only because I need to do laundry. fml.
•We are doing Valentines day :) I'm excited!
•Dear guys that hold doors open, Keep it up, there aren't many of you!
•"AUSG needs to find a fair way to distribute tickets." CHARGE for them...problem solved. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Rant here!
