Rant here!
• @“the longer I’m away from AU, the more school spirit I feel…” same! so weird.” It’s not weird. It’s a common sociological phenomena called the insider-outsider group phenomena. When you’re away from people you consider to be part of your group, you identify more strongly with that group. Sorry, you’re not special.
• @ "Your improper use of pronouns means I am no longer interested." Seriously? People make grammar mistakes all the time. If he said "I luv pokemon 4 ever, y do u think there so awesome?" then I'd understand, but Good luck finding someone to meet your ridiculous standards. I appreciate that McDowell Pokemon Trainer is putting himself out there.
• I just want this guy to pursue me! Blehhhhh
• I wish someone would anonymously declare they have a crush on me via Eagle Rants. Besides swiping me into TDR, it might be one of the most romantic things someone can do at AU
• Wish someone the best when you know they're not what's best for you
• I'm a single gal with a Deathly Hallows tattoo. Looking for someone who thinks it's as bad ass as I do.
• @ Grammar Nazi Pokémon Trainer "They" is properly used in my previous post. "They" can be used to denote a gender-neutral singular noun. Of course, I should have used "he" since I am a male. However, I think and speak neutrally of gender most of the time. Also, it's "Pokémon". :P Because, contrary to common belief, you can spell Pokémon without "Emo".
• @Ringtone Pokémon trainer You seem cool as well. I will now download the Pokémon theme song as my ringtone as well. Feel free to let it ring loudly when your out and about on campus, so I can see who you are. I'll do the same, and we can have an epic Pokémon bro fist bump.
• Does anyone know where Youth for Western Civilization meets? I want to attend the meetings.
• @ "Dear freshmen who thinks they have more credits than me. You dont. You’re just like everyone else at this school who thinks their smart. STFU or GTFO" ...*they're
• Liberal is an insult because of the Occupiers and Socialists everywhere. Tea Bagger is an insult because of the sexual connotation with it.
• @So tired an no motivation. In other words, I'm in college. So drop out of college.
• Disregard women, acquire currency.
• I'm kinda torn between Deon and Abby for SG President...any advice?
• @“Is AU in that march madness bracket thing?”-- No, AU is not in March madness (the NCAA tournament). Usually teams get in by winning their conference. In our case that would be winning Patriot League. There are some wild card exceptions, not exactly sure how those work though.
• @"CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE" The cake is a lie.
• girls who get so upset when their boyfriends upgrade annoy the heck outta me. stop embarrassing yourself by starting drama and start looking as hot as the new girl, maybe then you could actually find a rebound.
• Yolo [Editor’s Note: This rant speaks truth]
• Cross-Cultural Communication is realllly pushin' my buttons. Interesting topics...endlessly frustrating class.
• "They" can be used as a gender neutral singular pronoun. Welcome to the 21st century. Whether you choose to use that variation or not is your choice.
• @"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" Almost every drink you buy in a store will make you more thirsty, not less. Ice tea included, since it usually includes sugar and caffeine. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but it's just true. Drink plain water and nothing but it if you want to hydrate.
• @"i laugh at all the new englanders who think that chipotle is good mexican food" I laugh at everyone who's not a New Englander but still thinks that where they come from doesn't suck balls compared to New England.
• Dan Savage is a disgrace.
• I have to stop wanting to deflower virgins. Those boys are mad awk.
• @CAKE Oh baby I like it
• Can everyone else who is a senior stop reminding me how little time we have left at AU? I'm not ready to graduate. That goes for you too, mom and dad. Sorry I don't know what my post-college plans are. STEP OFF
• @hashtag - Technically, the term for a '#' symbol is a hash. Only when one tags something with the hash symbol does it become a hash tag.
• @Bike Lending - Hey there! I work for Bike Lending and it's pretty awesome. You get free bikes to ride around the city and we're hosting two free tours this semester (the first of which is to the Cherry Blossom Festival!) Stop by MGC 262 or contact us through the "Bike Lending at AU" facebook page. Hope this helps!
• @i laugh at all the new englanders who think that chipotle is good mexican food - What do you expect? Have you been to New Englad? Not a large population of Mexicans.
• I can't stop masturbating.....I'm a girl
• PLEASE stop talking so loudly with the door open. Actually, please stop talking loudly in general. The entire floor would appreciate it.
• So is anyone else excited for Season 2 of Game of Thrones? #WarIsComing
• I'd Really Rather You Didn't Use My Existence As A Means To Oppress, Subjugate, Punish, Eviscerate, And/Or, You Know, Be Mean To Otters. I Don't Require Sacrifices And Purity Is For Drinking Water, Not People.
• *Others, not Otters [Editor’s Note: I liked it better when it said otters]
• @Headphone's have been around since the '90s - amen
• I'm slowly turning into the Lazy College Senior meme. At least I can admit it.
• @”Why am I so thirsty?? I’ve literally had two glasses of iced tea and a glass of water” Um caffeine is a diuretic, meaning it makes you more thirsty. Swap your caffeine intake with water intake and all will be good.
• So my response to the rant on the 19th about the student who liked to poop was not published despite the fact it didn't break any rules. Can you please explain this editor? Is poop talk not allowed? Are we censoring talk of bodily functions now? That's cool. [Editor’s Note: I don’t remember why I didn’t post it]
• Today, I realized that the only thing that gets me hot and bothered is thinking about politics--more specifically, Chinese politics. I have no clue why either.
• Why no print eagle today? I was disappointed... : ( [Editor’s Note: We didn’t have time to make one b/c of break]
• I have a very attractive character and personality, but I'm not really physically attractive... How can I get girls to like me? -3/4 gay guy
• @CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE thanks, now I want cake.
• "Roommate: Headphones have been around since the 90s. Buy a pair. Sincerely, your music sucks." You've got a month and a half left til you don't have to deal with it anymore. If the music is really bothering you, why not mention it to your roommate? Plus if headphones are so amazing, why not use your own pair to cancel out their music? You have a brain for a reason. Use it.
• @All Caps Air Conditioning Ranter: RHA has nothing to do with the decision to turn on the air conditioning. That's entirely up to Facilities Management which is a completely separate office, and if you really have a problem with the heat, call 2-Fix at ext. 2349 to give them a piece of your mind.
• Why are rants about SG presidential candidates being censored? If they're on the ballot, they should be considered public figures. Come on, Editor, we need somewhere to rant about how frustrating these people are!
• I am convinced my boyfriend is ashamed of me. Anyone else want a go?
• People are so sensitive! Apparently if you mess up someone's order, you get yelled at through the phone. Poor employees, people need to stop being snobs.
• Hey Bike Lending thanks for ruining my day!!!! After I finally got my reservation approved, fought with the stupid lock box then finally got my key I was unable to actually get into the stupid white box that had the bike. I tried for half and hour on all of those stupid boxes. So thanks for being totally incompetent!!!!
• AU is the only organization I know that can take something that was kind of bad, make it ten times worse, and call it "new and improved." The new Today@AU sucks SO MUCH.
• Roommate: When I tell you I'm working on a paper that's due in 20 minutes, I would appreciate it if you didn't choose to use that moment to start talking about every single drama going on in your life. OMG SHUT UP SO I CAN WRITE
• I will TOTALLY join the LDR support group. We need one at AU so badly. Military wives have support groups for their LDRs when their husbands spouses are away. Non-military people can benefit from that kind of support too.
• I don't know if I can do this any more.
• I hate take home exams. They reward the hard workers. And I'm not a hard worker. I like long in class essay exams that reward god writers, even if you don't completely know the material but you know how to BS like you do.
• @LDR person thinking of starting a support group: I really wish someone would have done this when I was at AU. I missed me LDR bf so much I cried myself to sleep every night. But I got through the loneliness and now I'm in grad school near my bf, and we can finally be together. I loved AU so much and distracted myself with all the cool campus events I could. But it still would have been nice to have that support group.
• I'm so sick of your bad moods. My friends are sick of hearing me complaining. And I'm sick of feeling this way. As soon as we have another of our catastrophically explosive fights, I'm out.
• I know I have packages waiting for me, now where the devil is the email saying I can go get them?
• who else really wants to streak? the weather has been fantastic for it!
• I'm just gonna say that when people start responses in class with "I'm just gonna say" they sound like idiots. Seriously, I know that you're going to say something--you're talking. Whether it's intelligent is up to you...
• Ever since my roommate pledged her fraternity is THE ONLY THING she talks about, and she talks A LOT. How can I get her to shut the f*** up before I go insane? Not to hate on everyone in Greek Life, it's just the people who have no other real interests that piss me off.
• @Am I the only person who didn’t know that “#” was called a hashtag before twitter was invented? ....Its a pound sign. You've had one on every cell phone you've ever owned.
• Ever since someone suggested ThEagle, I can't stop saying that in my head. :(
• "Or is it only a hashtag if it has a string of words next to it?" It's actually called an "octothorpe" man.
