Eagle Rants Feb. 27

Rant here!


• Super nice, funny, normal, and good looking too! why did I end up geeking out at him? Can't I just seem cool for two minutes?

• gingers unite!

• Actually- you only go into starvation mode if there's not that much fat in your body.

• @"check the fat content, not calories" - Ever heard of Ketosis? Losing weight is about macro calories in verses macro calories out, nothing more. People can (and have) lost weight eating exclusively Twinkies. Eat over 1200kcal/day but less than your basal metabolic rate and you'll lose weight

• @the human rights statement does not say there is a right to gay marriage: Article 16 "Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution." While it does not say "without limitation to sexual preference," it also does not say "Only a man and a woman".

• @ " So I’m going to be a “master of my domain” for Lent…it’s going to be a long 46 days" Tried it one year. Out after a week. Good luck. Clearly I'm not King of the castle.

• STOP IT WITH N'SYNC!!!

• "Hope you all had time at Founder’s Day" I did have time. Oh yes, time was had by all.

• @The rant about the cute girl in Medwin's M-Th class: I'm almost positive this isn't about me, but I'm going to make myself feel better and just assume it is. Thanks!(:

• @murder is not a biological urge rape is about power, not sexual pleasure.

• Rants are turning into collegeacb!!!

• That hipster Harry potter kid sucks.

• Baby, I don't go to GW but I can sure give you a Foggy Bottom...

• Letts have sex.

• Baby do I have to swipe my ID for you to let me in?

• Hughes your daddy?!

• waking up with a unicorn tattoo AWESOME!!!

• Baby, do you take Eagle Bucks?

• The best thing that happened to me today is finding out that Lauren Conrad has a Pinterest I can follow.

• To all the amazingly attractive girls on this campus. There are a lot of you. It's to the point of being distracting. I spend so much of my energy trying not to stare its exhausting. Love, Straight Guy

• @the person who brought Hitler into this: please, I beg you, don't bring Godwin's Law into this. You're better than that.

• people that constantly complain about being alone. honestly, all u need to do is get involved. get to know the people on your floor. if you dont want to do that, go to a party. start talking to people and get a few numbers. if you don't want to do that either, join a club,team, or other student organization. just please stop ranting about it, because i''m sorry, but its kinda ur fault that ur in the position you're in...

• @”Actually your wrong because the women’s initiative backed the vagina monologues which raised a lot of money which is all sent to different organizations in the DC area to help rape victims and women in general so STFU cause you don’t know sh**” One event a year is hardly something to be proud of as an organization that takes a significant amount of tuition and ignores most issues presented to it (regarding birth control and health center policies). PS Learn the difference between your and you’re. k thanks.

• I'm down with the whole feminism thing, but can you not complain about everything in the world and how sexist it is? It gets super annoying...

• But really, when does the morning after pill vending machine get installed? Women's initiative? Is anybody listening?

• Dear guy wearing the Captain's hat at founder's ball: I thought you were cute and funny ;)

• According to the second law of thermodynamics, you're supposed to share your hotness with me.

• Dear couple next to me in the library: STOP MAKING OUT.  I've seen you guys start kissing and talking more than you've actually been quiet and typing.

• AU shuttle must seriously get it's act together.

• @Dear liberal hacks: there is no right to homosexual marriage.  If there were, under what rationale could you prevent bigamy, incest, or bestiality? You do realize that incest is legal in more states than gay marriage at the moment, right? So something that is clearly wrong is legal whereas gay marriage, with far better statistics in terms of divorce rates and success of children, is still not legal..sit on that one for a minute, then realize how big of an idiot you look like for comparing homosexuality to bestiality...seriously? what is your rationale for this?

• Those "private" study boxes on the first floor of the library?  Not so private.  It must have been an AU grad that developed those to actually magnify voices.

• @the C+ breast size guy.  You are a f***ing moron, but I do feel sorry for how much crap you've gotten.  As a man with a beautiful girlfriend with an A size cup, I don't think breast size is the sole determinant of sexual attraction and it is extremely wrong to believe so.  But hey ladies, the guy has a type, so give him a break.

• @800 Calories a Day: It happens to me too. I eat less than 1000 calories a day, and I have been for a couple of years now. I personally think that it is due to a fluid build up. Best thing to do is stop. I personally can't, because frankly, I can't afford three meals a day. After doing this for a year my body has begun to change. I now SWEAT AMMONIA because my body can't process protein as well. STOP NOW.

• This new rants editor writes the best notes ever. [Editor’s Note: Thnaks]

• BIG/LITTLE WEEK IS THE WORST! I love that my roomie is happy, but its so unfair that I have to vacate the room till midnight every night, then get up at 4 am for work, then listen to her invite her friends over and squeal about it, and then help her clean up the mess.This makes an otherwise great group of girls seem selfish, vapid, and incapable of speaking at a normal volume. AND STOP SAYING YOU LOVE EACH OTHER. YOU BARELY KNOW EACH OTHER.

• @"No you as women you did not give birth to us, our mothers gave birth to us ,you had nothing to do with it." PREACH BROTHA

• @"Murder is not a natural biological urge." Haha really? Don't be so sure...look at any other animal, let alone monkeys.  Murder is pretty natural. Mother nature isn't the benevolent guardian she is portrayed as.

• @"The tools who wear suits to class really annoy me." Some people don't have time to change between their classes and internships.  Might as well say "People with multiple commitments annoy me."

• AU Shuttle should  have an arrival times app!

• I can't believe KPU is paying someone to speak at this campus who was suspected of murdering someone. SG is a joke and Alex Kreger needs to be fired.

• Any dolt with half a brain can see that human-kind has gone insane!

• That awkward moment when Former Senator Rob Battaglia worked on bringing bringing a former president to campus before KPU did...

• Remember when Senator Abigail Finn didn't know what TDR stood for?

• So let's do it like they do on the discovery channel

• @"My boyfriend informs me that guys jerk off everyday (or close to everyday). Is this true??" This is true.

• Dear 2 girls on the quiet floor who asked us to watch your stuff after you asked an old guy and he shot you down: Next time, try to make sure you're out of earshot when you say, "Make sure to remember their faces in case they take our stuff!" P.S. Your stuff isn't even all that great. Just sayin'

• Patrick Burnett is adorable.

• Was is/was the Police Blotter? [Editor’s Note: What?]

• That awkward moment when you're on the Moderate Noise level floor of the library watching a video and someone asks you to... not watch it. I'm sorry, maybe on the 3rd floor where you can't talk you'll be able to focus on facebook better.

• @smart pills? What are these and where can I get them?

• Why do I see you so often?? We're in different schools, different years, you live off-campus. But I still manage to see you more often than I see people that live on my floor.

• I really want to know the stereotypes for all the sororities and fraternities on campus.

• that gutwrenching moment when you find out the girl you like has a thing for your friend Dx

• KPU should be ashamed for "proudly presenting" communist and fugitive Angela Davis.

• I love how I was written up for being in a photo with alcohol and meanwhile the stairwell and hallway in Centennial Hall smell like weed every day. AU Housing and Dining Programs is such a waste of money and, generally, horrible.

• To the soccer bros on Ando3North....you're the biddiest. Love Lydia.

• To the Harry Potter fanatic on Ando6N who spends a lot of time on Ando3N, you're amazing and interesting. Also...will you go to Prom with me?!?!?!?

• To the British girl on Ando3North...I find your accent sexy.

• I love AU.  I hate AU.  I want to /date/cuddle/have sex with/hook up with .  Nick Rangos is hot. Screw SG, they suck and do nothing.  I heart/hate/am in love with Tim McBride.  I have a random or obscure political position that I would like to promote.  I hate hipsters. --  There I just summed up this weeks rants!

• @"When Hitler didn’t like what others had to say, he also silenced them. He may not have used screaming and protesting, but his methods were just as successful." Hitler was also a fascist, and no one ever protested. Maybe things would have been different if people had.

• @ "a better way to express that you disagree with her would’ve been to ASK something, even if it was pointed, and hear out her explanation" All the questions were pre-screened because she didn't want to have to respond to something difficult, so that wasn't really an option

• So will students protest during Angela Davis next week, who was once on the FBI Top 10 Most Wanted List, like they did Gov. Brewer last week? Prob not since this school is run by liberals. Although, Gov. Brewer has never been accused of murder. #hypocrisy

• I feel like I am the only one who supports the people who protested Jan Brewer. Seriously, they interrupted the Q&A because she wouldn't take any questions that weren't pre-approved. I wasn't a part of it, but I wish I could have been! Solidarity

• To the person hating on the ukulele girls. I think they are adorable, I don't know why you are so harsh. Girls, keep brightening my day please.

• you know you're in college when: you tell someone you're "hanging in there" and they immediately think you have a ton of work to do

• This party is bitchin'.

• Does anyone else feel like people at AU are all ready to stab each other in the back to get ahead? Maybe that's just how DC works, but it's still frustrating. Everyone just seems so fake!

• Fraternity girls are hotter than sorority girls.

• Dear Eagle Rants Editor, I hope you had a great Saturday. Although I was at first distressed, I am not mad that you did not post rants on Feb 25. Love, an Eagle Rants Addict [Editor’s Note: I did, thank you :)]

• Looking at pictures from Founder's Day makes me want to cry! I am so mad that seniors did not get any priority for tickets and SG did so little for the hundreds of students who were mere seconds too late to get to go. Way to bring the AU community together. Thanks for nothing.

• Being drunk makes you less able to kick a rapist in the nuts. That is all.

• Reason to not hook up with frat guys: They all know if you hook up with one of them.

• Okay I do feel kind of bad for how hard I laughed, but in my defense, you should've see the face you made.

• Um yeah so if you go home every weekend, it shouldn't be surprising when it's difficult for you to make friends.

• There is a flying creature in my ceiling and it needs to f*** off.

• If I think someone's a "big douche," does that mean I can protest them?

• Subtracting welfare, a child costs at least $1800 a year. The pill costs $600 a year, and contraceptives are far cheaper. So a child is at least 3 times as expensive as birth control, even after you factor in welfare and food stamps. So if the decision to have a child was truly predicated on cost, you would be seeing lower birth rates among lower income families.

• @depressed and alone: I feel the same way, what a wild coincidence!

• Illusions, Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money...or candy...

• YOU'RE HIGH! YOU'RE DRUNK!

• Operation Hot Mother is a go...

• No! It should say "Tobias' Queen Mary!"

• You are all comparing the protesters at the Jan Brewer event to the oppressive Nazis and the Westboro Baptist Church. The person I label a nazi and gay hater is Jan Brewer herself. We liberals are expressing our free speech. She's done a lot to oppress immigrants (legal and illegal) and the LGBT community, and we want to criticize that. I'm sure if Hugo Chávez or Fidel Castro came to speak at AU (who have done some good for their countries), the conservatives would come to protest them anyway, just based on their political beliefs. And they should.

• @"• Jake Barnes will never love you. Please don’t ruin anymore books for me… P.S. you suck." YES A THOUSAND TIMES THIS

• Just made me want to kick things, hearing her present...@800 calories:  I've been doing an about 1000 calorie diet (give or take some; I'm not too strict) mixed with 2 hours of exercise 5 days a week.  I've lost 27 lbs since I came to AU.  What sort of exercise are you doing?  How are you spacing your meals?  Make sure you're drinking enough water and getting all the vitamins you need!

• I actually like you. Please get in touch with me!

• does anyone else just go to the library to people watch? it is simultaneously amusing and depressing...

• Dems interrupting Gov. Brewer thinking they are all revolutionary and what not. Oh look, a liberal being obnoxious and disrespectful. Congratulations, you're just like every other Dem in America. Whoop-de-doo.

• Second time I've witnessed AU students interrupting a Republican speaker in a month. If you think my political views are wrong, that's fine. If you have no class.....well, there is no fix for that. Sincerely, Politically Active & STILL classy.

• I wonder if they make Safe Space stickers for Republicans. Glad to know conservative students are the only minority group on campus whose rights are neither recognized nor respected. [Editor’s Note: Republicans are always welcome in the Rantosphere]

• I want to do the Jan-Brewer-finger-wag at every Dem on campus.

• Dear Letts Hall front desk, I know you are are working on a Friday night but getting entertainment by being rude and laughing at people is a low point. Sincerely, Why are all the nice RAs in Anderson

• Yes, we know TDR has its off days. But do you really have to make rude, offhand comments to the workers?

• That awkward moment when you realize that you really don't give a crap about hetero-normative stereotypes... stop making me feel bad about something that I don't feel like is a problem. k, thanks.

• It has been such a terrible, terrible past couple of days. The highlight of my day is now my Chobani peach fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt. My life...

• Politico ran an article this morning on the worst political cliches. Honestly surprised AU liberals aren't listed.

• soo excited for spring!!! #justwanttowearshorts

• Hipsters in TDR discussing the "difference between rap and hip-hop"

• @"BEES?!" BEADS!

• Stop chewing gum in class... it makes you look like a cow chewing grass....

• I just need someone to explain to me, with as little bias as possible, what the kerfuffle with Israel and Palestine is. Everytime I respectfully ask for a run-down of the situation, I'm told how horrible one side is.

• Turns out the reserves books that cannot leave the library have sensors on them...oops...guess i will be reading inside on this beautiful day...grrr

• In all the advice before college on how awesome and crazy it is, they forgot to mention how fricken lonely it can be...
