Eagle Rants March 20

Rant here!


• @what do you call a male slut - my high school called them "mluts." That being said, it seemed to be a phrase only used by freshman.

• So tired and no motivation. In other words, I'm in college.

• @McDowell Pokemon Trainer - I didn't see the original rant, but my cell phone's ringtone is the Pokemon theme song. I jam out every time I get a call. You seem cool.

• I sincerely hope that the two (blue-wearing) people who have been ranting at each other for a few weeks now trying to meet up finally meet up. :)

• Any other Verizon Wireless customers having trouble receiving text messages?  Myself and my friends with Verizon (unless they have iPhones) have been able to receive texts..

• @masturbation activities and marijuana consumption' was that supposed to be an insult?? because that sounds AMAZING to me. why not be able to express sexuality freely and smoke a harmless plant? perhaps you should open your mind a bit to how tightly society's norms control you.

• @ Girl upset that their LDR boyfriend never came: Yes, he is an inconsiderate jerk. You deserved an answer, and he patronized you up until the very last second? Personally I'd dump his ass, but if you want to make it work you need to talk to him and see why he really didn't come (airfare is damn expensive is a better excuse than having to do laundry). But especially in an LDR, you would think he'd jump at the opportunity to be with you...I'm angry for you!

• maybe the ranter who posted about their credits was rude, but i read the original, and it looks to me like they were just frustrated for being dismissed as a "freshman". Not to rustle more feathers, but thats not really a reason to go at someone.

• Every time I see the girl I'm hooking up with holding hands with her boyfriend on the quad, I wonder how he doesn't find those hickeys.

• I just want to go to a rave. Or some crazy concert. But I want it to be on campus and I want it to be a band that college students listen to. It just wont feel right for me to drop acid at a gym class heros concert.

• STOOP KID'S AFRAID TO LEAVE HIS STOOP POOP KID'S AFRAID TO LEAVE HIS POOP LOOP KID'S AFRAID TO LEAVE HIS LOOP

• I partly joined a sorority to meet new guys.  Instead, I have a list of guys that I not allowed to talk to. :/  #AUsororityproblems

• Save the drama for your llama.

• Quad so hard University.

• I really like editor... [Editor’s Note: I love lamp]

• Your body is a wonderland.

• I talked to an AU alum when I was waiting for my bus, and she said that when she was a student The Grateful Dead played on campus.  They also had The Rolling Stones and the Allman Brothers play at one point. It sucks that the price of having an actually good band come to campus has gone up so much comparatively.

• @ The Hunger Games vs. Battle Royale: Yes, they have similar plots, I'll give you that. But don't act so superior. At least it's getting people to read. I'd rather my little sister be reading The Hunger Games than nothing. And I'd definitely rather have her reading it than Twilight.

• TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONING NOW! HOLY FUDGING SPIT! ITS MOTHER FATHERING GOD DANG HOT AS HELLO. WHY DOES RHA ALWAYS DO THIS SHIP. I'M SWEATING MY MOTHER FATHERING BOWLS OFF. COME ON. CHANGE THE HEAT TO AIR CONDITIONING. ITS LIKE A FUDGING SAUNA IN THE BATHROOMS. ITS HOT AS HELLO IN THE LOUNGES AND I CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE FUDGING HEAT. [Editor’s Note: I sincerely hope that all caps rants don’t become a thing]

• That awkward moment when you realize that guy you spent forever getting over wants you back, but you're very in love with someone else now. I feel like a total winner. Karma really does exist people :D

• Am I the only person who didn't know that "#" was called a hashtag before twitter was invented? Or is it only a hashtag if it has a string of words next to it?

• Lying about yourself to phonathon prospects to help bond. Classic.

• Silly social conservatives...eventually everyone gets their rights anyway...just sayin'...

• I will always wonder why there are yellowish puddles in the Leo 8 bathroom...I keep hoping they are not what they look like, but I really don't want to know...

• I nominate myself to be the new eagle rant editor! I'd post rants every day, even on breaks!!!!!

• @ Person who also likes Danny Brown. I would like to see AU get some rappers on campus. OR Low budget indie shtuff

• I still like you. But now you're interested in another girl I think... you're always interested in another girl:(

• we work together. and i think i'm starting to like you. which is god awful horrible. because i just don't think i'm the type of girl you usually go for. if i am, give me a sign!

• @3/4 gay and attracted to girls: you're my kinda guy :)

• Roommate: Headphones have been around since the 90s. Buy a pair. Sincerely, your music sucks.

• My roommate's greatest regret in life is that she was born a white Jewish girl. Literally, she takes every excuse she can to make herself a marginalized group. #firstworldproblems (for the girl who is SO anti-first world)

• @"the longer I’m away from AU, the more school spirit I feel…" same! so weird. but now I'm on a school spirit high, so, go AU!

• Why am I so thirsty?? I've literally had two glasses of iced tea and a glass of water in the past hour, and I'm still thirsty? What's going on this is inconvenient

• @Remington's ranter: I'd be shocked if you could get in under 21

• Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

• Crucifixions are a lot like hula hoops. They never go out of style.

• @who is the girl with the side of her head shaved? - I'm the girl with the side of my head shaved, thanks : )

• @I'd like a LDR support group Me too! If I tried to start a club do you think guys/ girls in LDR's would actually join? My BF and I have been in one for 2 years, but it can still be hard at times, and I know we all have our own tips we can share. I'm sorry you're going through a rough patch with your BF- stay strong!

• @LDR complainers: LDRs are not an AU thing. As special as you think you all are, every college in the country has tons of LDRs. It's called the 21st century. People in love happen to go to different colleges and modern technology allows us to keep in contact with those loved ones and sustain healthy relationships.  LDRs will only increase as communication technology and transportation increase. This is a good thing. So stop complaining.  Why would you want to be limited to only people in your physical location? Don’t you want the whole world to be our love buffet?

• @”I am the guy who wishes they could drop out of school and become a Pokémon trainer.” Your improper use of pronouns means I am no longer interested. It’s guy who wishes HE could drop out. Guy is a singular pronoun. They is a plural pronoun. Are there no pokemon trainers who know basic grammar? (And who are single?)

• “does that mean we can designate all the benches around campus that smokers sit on to be available at all times for masturbation activities and marijuana consumption?” Um HELL YES. Hot girls get the benches on the main quad. Fugly girls get the benches behind the south side buildings that no one knows about.

• @weird dream ranter: I have weird dreams too. Keep your rants coming. They make me feel less alone.

• @”I thought having my boyfriend be here during spring break would be great but all we do is fight and now I don’t think we’ll be together much longer. Worst week ever.” The same thing happened to me over winter break. Its’ hard being together all day every day. It’s better to arrange more frequent visits for shorter amounts of time. After all, even married people don’t spend all day together. They just see each other after work. It’s normal to fight in situations where you are constantly around each other all day. Don’t beat yourself up about it.

• @"Is AU in that march madness bracket thing?" I'm so glad you asked. I was wondering the same thing. And how do schools get into the bracket thing in the first place?

• @"I wish we could all just admit how damn lonely we are [Editor’s Note: Have you ever read rants?]" LMAO hahahaha

• @"That awful moment where you realized you hooked up with a libertarian" What's wrong with libertarians? Oh, I guess you enjoy wasting money on needless foreign wars and the "war on drugs". My bad.

• Oh, intercourse the penguin!

• @bean sprouts make me uncomfortable - that rant made me uncomfortable...

• That awful moment where you go to submit a paper on Blackboard and realize you didn't answer the exact prompt your professor asked for. FFFFFFFFUUUUU

• What does it say about the SG when there are more candidates running as a joke than there are running seriously?

• i laugh at all the new englanders who think that chipotle is good mexican food

• @Person who knows who Ray LaMontagne is: you give me faith in this institution.

• I love Texas ranter from some time back: Thank you!  The great state needs more credit than it receives here!

• @RHA That's because the RHA is even more boring than the SG.

• This will be a new series here on Eagle Rants called..You might be a liberal if.. You might be a liberal if...you get excited about curtailing violence as you campaign for Barack Obama.

• @ClassicCrimeFan; Who needs air?

• I want to be the very best, like no one ever was...is that too much to ask?!

• Why is "liberal" considered an insult? I have never understood that.

• I'll take "Famous Titties" for 200

• Can I please hear back regarding my opinion piece. Sent to the op-ed email and to editor-in-chief. The senior producer of tv content at NBC right down the street said he "loves it" and has forwarded it to his editorial friend at The Post. Please use it.

• I like you, I really like you, but I'm four posts away from unsubscribing from you on fb, just because you post so often. I want to get into your pants again, but after you post like 20 times a day I just kind of want to hit you. I thought only girls were supposed to be facebook whores...
