Rant here!
• Everyone in my Arab societies class speaks Arabic. I don't. I feel left out.
• A mans got to do what a mans got to do.
• Please just become single. Pleeeeeeaaaase :(
• stay gold johnny, stay gold
• For real though I live in Centennial and the hallway outside my room smelled like weed ALL DAY saturday. Also not the first time this has happened. Go smoke outside lazy people
• So will the conservatives take the high road or the low road with Angela Davis? Be better than the hippies.
• I
• Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
• Why aren't more people talking about Billy Crystal's blackface routine from the Oscars? I missed the first twenty minutes and didn't hear about it until a couple hours ago. Absolutely disgusting.
• That awkward moment when your eagle rant achieves great fame in the phonathon room and you can't decide whether to reveal your identity or remain that mysterious person no one knows... [Editor’s Note: Great power, great responsibility, etc.]
• Dear TDR, Thanks for the spider in my food. It really made my day so much better :/
• @AU Pickup Lines: AWESOME! Keep them coming :D
• Ringbom has the nicest flow I've seen
• @SafeSpace Stickers for Republicans: You put that so perfectly. I completely agree, as a conservative student, the judgements passed on me are so rude. I'd expect more tolerance from students who have no problem shoving "equality" in everyone's face for any other cause.
• I hate when boys at this school tell me how to act as a woman and then complain about my actions as if they have any say over my life.
• First one to bring up Hitler in an argument automatically loses. That is all. [Editor’s Note: HITLER!]
• @Starvation mode, you might not go into starvation mode when drastically reducing calories, but isn't it the case that your body will adjust its metabolism to the new level of calories, slowing it down? (not exactly sure)
• I got food poisoning from Subway on Saturday night and I'm still suffering from it -__- can someone please fire all the Subway staff and put some competent and cleanly people in there!? Concerned for Public Health
• WHY DOES WARD SMELL LIKE OLD SOCCER CLEATS?!!!!?! Or grass, I guess it smells like grass.
• @ "One event a year..." Well, you should learn how to spell okay before you go around criticizing grammer.
• @palestine/israel: here's my understanding of it: that strip of land is sacred for Israelites (and all Jews). It's the geographical location of the promised land given to Abraham and all his descendants, it's where the temples of the LORD stood. So after WWII we created the state of Israel. Problem is, there were already people living there. So now the question is: who does the land belong to?
• There's a serious lack of stoner girls on campus.
• Remember when we broke onto the roof? It was a big deal, we felt like rebels. I wonder if it's still open. I'd check, but I know that if I got up there I'd just want to scream and scream and yell and yell and pretend I was only bothering the sky. Unfortunately I don't think PubSafe would approve of this plan.
• Hey Editor! Love your comments recently, they're often very funny :) I'm curious about a policy y'all have though- Is there a reason rants about senators can include their names even when they're not positive? It just sort of surprised me. [Editor’s Note: I try to stick to the “public frigure” rule, that is, someone who is a public figure is OK to post about. However, if any Senator (or anybody else for that matter) feels they are being harassed or targeted, please send an email to web@theeagleonline.com so we can make sure that rants don’t become a forum for bullying.]
• Should men stop drinking so that they are less likely to rape someone?
• @"Hipsters in TDR"- really? are you that musically ignorant? there is definitely a huge difference and that sounds like an amazing conversation to me. Just because you can't relate to something doesn't mean it's not worth discussing. Better than another boring conversation about what happened over the weekend.
• what did i just dooooo
• More importantly, who approved KPU Director Alex Kreger's decision to bring someone from the FBI Most Wanted List to campus. We should be outraged and demand resignations from anyone who contributed/approved this decision to waste our student money on a former fugitive!
• Hey Ranters, This is to you if you've ranted about the counselling center, about eating disorders, or if you're one of the people posting videos and quotes on Facebook for National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. I'm trying to think more about what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. I made an appointment today with the counselling center. I don't have the courage to thank you in person, but I really am grateful. Keep it up! Love, UnhealthyRelationshipWithFood [Editor’s Note: Good luck! You can do it!]
• @Everyone who thinks the KPU Director should resign: I didnt hear any of y'all calling for her to be fired then other than for the fact that you were angry you didnt get a ticket. Hop off and stop complaining.
• Can us Republicans on campus get together to create a protest for Angela Davis and show AU how a real protest works?? I cant believe we have an accused accessory to murder coming to our campus on our money!
• My respect for KPU has evaporated due to their choice to bring Angela Davis to campus. My respect for WI hasnt changed at all since I had no respect for them to begin with.
• I just took a GRE practice test on the Princeton Review site and did really badly. I am hoping they skew the results to make you want to buy their prep services...
• AU is supposed to be an incredibly open, accepting, diverse campus right? Then why are you discriminated against if you are a straight white Christian Republican?
• I'm looking forward to the SG elections. Hopefully the field of candidates for President isn't a bunch of incompetent senators. Then again...
• Chief of Staff Palak Gosar has the worst grammar in the world.
• Supersexy Moroccan, Your height and long black hair makes me want to mount you. Do me.
• When I want to be alone, I never can be. And then when I really want company, I never have it. And this is living off-campus...
• biddies gotta mind their business.
• I'm with Patrick Burnett right now... all I can say is WOW.
• To all the ranters about the liberal fiasco with Brewer, I LOVE YOU... YOU MADE MY NIGHT.
• I came to college thinking that I was a far left liberal... thanks to all of the outspoken liberals, I become a little more moderate every day. I am afraid that by the time I leave AU I will be a full fledged Republican... PLEASE GOD, DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN!
• Red, I miss you. We have not spent enough time together. I need to steal you away from your boyfriend for a night. Give your big boy a hug. Love, Cold, Norther State
• @ down with feminism - don't do sexist things and there will be nothing to complain about. simple concept huh?
• Eagle Rants borked up my rant: It was supposed to read: "I love AU. I hate AU. I want to /date/cuddle/have sex with/hook up with (insert person here). 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!" [Editor’s Note: I just copy and pasted...]
• So today TDR decided to not have knives and plates instead of forks. I swear they're playing early April Fools jokes on us. Not funny ladies and gentlemen...not funny.
• Dakota Freeze for President of the WORLD!
• I don't know if you read these or not but yes it's you that makes going to class bearable. You are amazing. I'm just not that great at showing it.
• KPU works so hard. Keep your bias out of it-- there's no denying that they're bringing notable figures to campus. Napolitano, John Legend, Bill Clinton... bravo. Keep doing your thing, Alex Kreger.
• To people with no notion of how to not disturb everyone else's peace: It really isn't that hard to close a door without slamming it, is it? I know you may be in a rush, but there are plenty of times when you casually walk away from the imminent crash that interrupts everyone else because you can't be bothered to deal with it. Just saying, it really isn't that hard and won't piss anyone off.
• To the guys playing football in nice pants, button-ups, and ties: why stop there? This could have been straight-up tuxedo football! Food for thought, gents. Keep on being classy nonetheless.
• ...All the single ladies, put your hands up! Now keep them there, the straight men will do the same, and then there won't be any need for the insensate complaining about being lonely. In other news, if you're looking for a good cuddle buddy, just give me a response. ;)
• That awkward moment when you realize you've been spending so much time trying to develop your social life on campus that you forgot about work entirely.
• Dear WVAU reviewers, RIYLs ("Recommended if you like"s) are for bands. Not for authors, video games, or movies. Get it together, guys. Love, Concerned DJs everywhere.
• I'm disappointed in myself for being unable to find the words to rant what is going through my head.
• @Medwin's girl - of course it's about you, keep being great. don't rant in class... pay attention!
• @Fricken Lonely - I'm lonely too. Maybe we can be friends? :)
• @everyone trying to justify silencing Governor Brewer by whining that the questions were pre-screened: first of all, you had your chance to submit questions beforehand, why didn't you? Second of all, the questions Bill Clinton responded too were all pre-screened as well. Does that mean it would have been okay for protesters to shout him down during his Q&A? For people who claim to be “open-minded liberals” you sure acted close-minded.
• Also you can’t resort to reciting the list of issues you disagree with Governor Brewer on as justification either. It doesn’t matter how much you don’t like her policies or how abhorrent you find them. Your opinion on them is just that: an opinion, and silencing someone because they disagree with your opinion is just plain wrong.
• "Recent studies show that there is a positive correlation between hipsters and sexual activity on college campuses." I WANT MORE HIPSTERS!
• Hear Hear! Ladies that want more sex...go for it! Don't be afraid to be forward.
• the eagle rants editor commented on one of my rants. that made my day.
• if you all could give one piece of advice to an incoming freshman looking to pick a roommate, what would it be? [Editor’s Note: My roommate was random, and it’s been great. Wutup roommate]
• @"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?" - Don't deny your inner geek!
• Theres a girl on Anderson 3 North who looks like Anne Frank mixed with a Squirrel from Vermont. Feel free to approach her for some fun facts about Squirrels, and how to better pronounce the words "but" and "what!"
• being with a guy who is rushing is horrible.
• One of my least favorite things in the world is getting into debates about abortion/gay rights/etc on Facebook.
• All Hail the Merciful and Generous Paula Dean!!! -Your Friendly Church of Paula Dean Supporter [Editor’s Note: How do I join this church?]
• I was really sad about the Founder's Day Ball, because I brought a gown. A sparkly gown. Hanging in my closet, it got glitter all over my other clothes, and that glitter will NOT go away. So now, not only do all of my clothes glitter in a weird way without having gotten to wear the gown to make up for it, I'm also reminded of the fact that I missed out every time I see the glitter all over me.
• Can people please stop blaming the Dems for the Brewer protest? Being a Democrat means supporting sustainable economic policies and/or a progressive social agenda, it does not mean pitching a tent in McPherson square or shouting down a governor. Half of us are just as pissed at the occupiers as the Republicans are. This hasn't been a picnic for us either!
• if this wasn't a dry campus, we wouldn't spend so much time freaking out about politics or Jan Brewer, Republicans and Democrats would hang out, and everyone would be drunk all the time. AMERICAN WHY.
• I like how a dry campus needs a substance free floor...
• Really? You're going to charge me for a cup of hot water? I have my own tea bag. C'mon!
• @I feel like I am the only one who supports the people who protested Jan Brewer. You are not the only one. I grew up in politics and I was always taught that (unless there was an extremely dangerous situation) a true leader and politician stays despite protests and answers questions. Gov. Brewer did the exact opposite.
• I talked to a 90s alumna who convinced the dean to let her SIS capstone be a sci-fi novel that illustrated political principles. AU just made me proud.
• But it's plain to see, Evil inside of me is on the rise...
• @"Turns out the reserves books that cannot leave the library have sensors on them" It depends on the book. A lot of them are able to leave the library but go off anyway because they don't demagnetize right.
• KERFUFFLES EVERYWHERE!
• TIM MCBRIDE IS SINGLE!!!!!!!!!!! I'm torn between being sad cause they were a cute couple and happy because I'm selfish.
• Tim McBride and Nick Rangos why are neither of you gay yet you are both so attractive.
• If you whiny repubs keep complaining about the whacky libs, I might just have to do something 'bout it. #truthisbothsidesareidiots
• Not all sorority girls are ignorant, self minded, and loaded. Most are just ignorant, self minded and fat.
• I'm done trying to make friends with kids who obviously think they are way too cool for me. I've got better things to do then beg for attention from a bunch of unmotivated airheads.
• AU was founded in 1925. Pretty sure none of the "good neighbors" that live in a neighborhood entitled "AU Park" were moved in before then. Either approve the campus plan and let us live on campus or deal with the fact we live next door. We're here and we're not going anywhere. Get over it. You knew what you were getting yourself into.
• Sure, part of the reason there is trash on the quad after a nice day is that people don't clean up after themselves. But AU also doesn't factor in the fact they have to empty the trash cans more often that day.
• To the kinda hipster girl next door: You're gorgeous.
• I really hate it when people like Doug Bell (head of the Media Board and thereby a public figure) insults people who have done nothing to them.
• Hey Doug Bell, if you don't support wonk why do you wear around a shirt that says WONK in big letters that you bought with your own money?
• That awkward moment when the Eagle Rants Editor misprints my rant, totally changing its meaning, and then someone else makes fun of my rant because of the misprint. Seriously, quit writing the stupid notes and start checking your work. [Editor’s Stupid Note: All I do is copy and paste]
• Tall ginger freshman, Ando3- you're really freakin' wonderful, you know that?
• You're embarrassed that Jan Brewer got mic checked? I'm embarrassed to have a senator that thinks he speaks for the entire student body when he bashes protest
• political action isn't limited to politicians and those who work in politics. deal with it.
• Bigotry and racism don't deserve an audience. "She's a governer" isn't an excuse.
• Tim McBride is just boring. Who cares? It's student government.
• The liberals who protested Brewer believe in civil discourse. They don't believe that there is room in that discourse for racism and bigotry.
• Keep writing op-eds and criticizing the civility of protest -we all know you're just another pro-establishment crony.
• I can see your racism and bigotry under your suit Mr. Senator.
• We're embarrassed that you invited her here.
• We believe in "respect and dignity" too. That's why we want everyone to have it.
• Senator, you're "foolish" for thinking that you represent this entire school.
• where are the Brazilians?! Oi!!
• really attractive AND really clueless about dating....great combo
• your you-know-what is the size of a mike n ike. you should be nicer to me because i'm quite tempted to tell people about it.
• obnoxious Greek guy in western philosophy class - your pathos is showing and it aint pretty
• hey sorority biddies, no one's jealous of your bigs/littles - we're just a little tired of the squealing and arts & crafts rampage you all have been on.
• what's even more overdone than interning on the hill? recreating prom there...
• we didn't get high rankings for political activism because we all decided to intern on the hill and canvass....
• If you think protesting jan Brewer was going too far there's a good chance you take your rights for granted...
• @ In all the advice before college on how awesome and crazy it is, they forgot to mention how fricken lonely it can be… The system sold us out man, they create an impression for you that its like DisneyLand but once the rose colored glasses come off you see the harsh reality of college life. If I were you, kick your heels up, crack open a bud and put on RHCP. Take life as it comes, bro. It'll get better.
• Yo, Douglas Bell. Merit scholarships are not a luxury. Those of us on them WORK for them, and they can be taken away. It's not like we're using that money to hit up Clyde's every week.
• ANGELA DAVIS!!! Thank you, AU. A speaker I'm actually looking forward to.
• I've determined that every male professor has the exact same brown briefcase/man purse combo that they carry to class.
• Just watched a public safety officer wake up someone sleeping in MGC. Therefore ranting that every day does not give me funny moments like this one.
• How come the staff gets free yoga and we don't?
• @"BEADS" BEES?!
• Who would want a Bee as a gift?!
• Did you stick it to her?
• "Oh I seem to remember a certain young man who completely fell apart two weeks ago when I taped over the Nova special with the girl he liked on it." "Mom, that was Buster"
• To the Ranter who keeps quoting Arrested Development: Marry me!
• @Big/Little Week hater: Haters gon hate but try being in a sorority before you judge from the outside. Helping your roommate clean up is not your obligation. It seems like you're being a good friend so why tarnish that nice thing you're doing by ranting? Just be nice, rush next fall, and THEN rant once you're on the inside if you still hate it. (trust me, ya won't)
• I love a man in a polo, but if you're going to rock one, make sure it fits right. Super loose polos aren't sexy.
• Obnoxiously loud typer in the library: so we meet again...
• I don't want ya uppity country club ya freak a** b**ch
• COFFEE
• I keep trying to go online to whine about having to download SafeConnect all the time... only to get cockblocked by SafeConnected over and over again. RAEG.
• I'm craving chocolate chip scones and it's only tuesday...
• Yo editor, for the GI bill article, it's "dire STRAITS", not "straights". Learn your homonyms and parts of speech: nouns /= adjectives.
• Is there a way for me to join Thursday's march in DC to improve American education without getting lumped in with the Occupy DC-ers? I don't need to complain about my student loans; I just want our society to focus more on education.
• I know I've hit rock bottom when I resort to reading Eagle Rants in class to distract me #boredoutofmymind
• To the sorority sisters who ask for study binders at the front desk of the library: (at least 50% of you) It wouldn't kill you to say please, look up from your phone, or smile and acknowledge us desk monitors as your fellow students. Just one of the three, ladies, one of the three.
• So why, exactly, are we bringing a kidnapper and murderer to campus? I know she was acquitted, but that was really only because the jury was afraid of looking racist. And if she really didn't do it, why did she run?
• AU students are not fake. They are the most real people you will ever meet. Every other students at AU want to start a non profit to help insert oppressed group of people or issue that is oppressing people. The world of politics is fake. So you will find fake poli-sci majors at any school. (Not that all of them are fake, many are awesome).
• @cost of babies: Most babies are accidents (especially for the poor because they are much less likely to have insurance and therefore are not able to afford birth control, which is $100 a month without insurance). And they can’t exactly take the baby back after it is born and claim that it would have been more cost efficient if they had used birth control. Use you mind a little bit please.
• Spring break, come soon!
• Dear eaglesecure: I want you to die a desolate and painful death for making my life suck. Kthanks.
• Healthcare is not a right! Driving is not a right! Hunting is not right!
• I really wish the Eagle would not show the radicals on the front page who decided to disrespectfully chase Brewer out of AU. If you don't find Brewer to be welcoming enough to other people all the more reason to be the better person.
• Personally, the idea that people can sneak into this country illegally and then demand rights once they are here is just appalling. I'd like to see those immigrants try that crap in europe. They'd be deported so fast there wouldn't even have enough time to say adios. (NOTE: im not saying they are taking "our" jobs *bs by the way*, or living off welfare, or anything like that.) THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW and can and should face the consequences
• Compared to Zain Mobile Broadband, Eaglesecure is GOD. #studyabroadproblems
• The Housing Lottery should be like the Hunger Games: fight to the death to live in Nebraska.
• Remember when AU used to guarantee housing for all four years?
• I think the Editor should scramble the rants. Then when I go on ranting streaks they aren't all one after the other...
• I JUST WANT TO READ FOR LEISURE IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK
• Here is to hoping that Mitt Romney loses and we have the Rise of Newt!!!
• seriously, what do I have to do, spell it out for you? I L-I-K-E Y-O-U.
• Anyone need some printing money? I have $42.10 to blow by May.
• It would help if Housing and Dining actually gave a flying elephant's turd about the well-being of AU students...
• Professors, Stop trying to make homework happen. It's not gonna happen. Sincerely, second semester seniors
• I don't understand how you got choosen to become an RA. You're lazy, incompetent and a slob. You can't even take care of your own life let alone other people's. My condolences to the people on your floor next year.
• My Roommate's girlfriend is crazy. how do I inform him without being offensive?
• First day of Phonathon...leggo!
• To all the conservatives whining about the Jan Brewer protest: please come and protest Angela Davis. It makes these events so much more interesting and engaging for both sides. Better yet, do it in a silent and respectful manner and you'll instantly outdo the liberals.
• sooo excited for Jfelds! #justwanttowearjorts
• I cannot take writing this paper any longer. Please Eagle rants, saaaave meeeee.
• That awkward moment when your roommate walks in as you're eating a tube of raw cookie dough.
• People in the basement of the library need to lower their voices. This is a 'moderate' volume space, not the Mudbox. Wanna socialize? Go there or leave the library. Signed an annoyed student studying for midterms
• Dear roommate, No I was not at the health center because I thought I was pregnant. Why the f would I go to the health center and pay a $20 copay for a pregnancy test when I can get a pregnancy test at CVS for $12? I was at the health center because I needed antibiotics for a UTI.
