Eagle Rants March 30, 2012

•@SI-er. You're not obligated to tell your boyfriend. Tell him if you're comfortable. Don't if you don't. And you are never alone.

•A) Yes, I meant 'your'. B) Abstaining from sex doesn't make you 'have morals'. Get a grip. C)It's not romantic or mature...those are euphemisms for prude/scared of real emotion. D) 'The good ones' won't understand you 'waiting'. Unless you mean people like Mitt Romney/Rick Santorum..in which case you deserve that.

•The point is, don't have sex if you're not prepared for it (although it's kinda pathetic if you're not ready by 18/19). Just enough with the righteousness and flaunting of virginity. We get it Tim Tebow, moving on!!!

•going abroad next year! I want to go right now I'm so excited!!!!!!!

•@"sassy in a funny way girl" I remember "squaking" at you and it was rude of me. i'm sorry, I had a really bad day but that's definitely not an excuse. I use bathrooms/laundry rooms on other floors all the time

•Why are all of these about SG and virginity - obsessed much? We all know theres a correlation between SG activity and lack of sex

•I'm a virgin who really wants to have sex. It's almost happened a few times but I keep stopping myself because I know I'll get too emotionally attached to the guy and I just don't want that to happen. But DAMN I'M HORNY.

•-A+ for the A Very Potter Musical reference. -A+ for the Putnam Spelling Bee line!

•@"To the girl who used to be an OL and currently works in the library: you can shelve my books anyday, as long as you wear those glasses of yours." I am currently dating said former OL. In other words you should go back to shelving your own book

•@SI survivor: Don't tell him if you don't feel comfortable telling him. Give it time.

•While voting, I facebook stalked half the candidates. If they were ugly, I didn't vote for them. I advocate for the beautification of SG.

•The editor's sas makes me so happy.

•Phonathon group nap needed STAT. This is the worst shift ever.

•You smiled and did a double take at me when I walked past your table on the third floor of the library. You looked like such a cute guy. Wish I had the guts to talk to you.

•person who left their LDR bf for a guy here but then regretted it; who are you and why are you living my life? this is EXACTLY what I'm going through right now, eerie

•@glitter poop ranter- why yes I do! wanna meet up and discuss how we can make this happen? I have a few ideas!

•Someone give me the dirt on student government elections? What charges were brought? Who are these people? I didn't follow this thing at all...

•I thought I was incredibly horny and oversexed as a virgin, but now that I've had sex a few times, it's completely all I think about. Also, when I was a virgin, I thought I was just lonely and wanted a girl who could be my friend etc, etc, but now I have found that I don't want a nice girlfriend, I just want sex sex sex

•Thoughts on PIKE brothers?

•There are a good number of people walking around this campus who know how to fight, but chose not to project it. Your false bravado could get you in trouble someday.

•@ Flower Shop Buyer: What if he/she is allergic?

•@"I swear when I grow up, I won’t just buy you a rose. I will buy the flower shop and you will never be lonely." That is my favorite song ever! I'm glad to know someone else also knows about fun.'s previous album. faith is restored.

•@HAHAHAHA CHARLES MERRICK CAME IN FOURTH PLACE You must be one of the College Dems. You little piss ants were so hurt when Charles made fun of that disgrace of a former President of yours. You were even stupid enough to cover up his campaign posters with yours which I believe is a violation under Student Activities.

•I wonder what it would be like to have an anonymous eagle rants chat room every once in a while...

•Who is John Galt?: I'd bet anything the poster is female. I hate how that book takes wonderful ideas and mixes them with a love story involving one unattractive businesswoman pursued by three extremely attractive men, described physically in graphic detail repetitively. That book is the biggest turn off imaginable for a straight guy.

•@TriDelt: I wasn't the original ranter, but I would be up for helping start! I don't feel like I fit any of the current sorority options and would love to look into this more.

•@"anyone else have a strong desire to make their poop glittery?" Not until you mentioned it. But now I can't stop thinking about how I want glittery poop.

•@"Never told anyone I used to SI. Should I tell my bf?" What the heck is "SI"? Maybe don't use abbreviations no one knows.

•@"This editor is human. And you’re probably human. Humans make mistakes. Practice empathy." If 3 people couldn't catch a simple grammar mistake, maybe practice finding another job? [Editor's note: Rude.]

•What are jeggings? [Editor's note: jeans + leggings.]

•@Sometimes proximity can’t make up for real love." GO GET HIM BACK!

•This girl at the gym reeked of vodka. She drinks so much that she sweats it? #AUHardcore.

•Just to add my two cents to the transferring conversation-- I'm a sophomore, and I thought about transferring last year. I ended up staying for financial reasons, but I've honestly come to really like this school my second year around. Some people just take time to warm up.

•Everything begins and ends with your family. You should be able to trust them, and they should be able to trust you. Expect nothing but support from your family, and give them everything they need in return. The same principle applies to your significant other, and your close friends.

•All I want is an apology that I'm never going to get.

•I need a wife, but I've yet to even get a girlfriend. I'm lonely... -3/4 gay junior

•Abstinence is fun! As a guy, it makes not thinking about sex all the time slightly easier.

•I realized I want to be in a relationship, but I don't want to be an adult about it and talk to you first.

•Dear CAS, yes, you lost a Senate seat. Deal with it. Or perhaps, next time you get two Senate seats, try to actually fill both of them. AU students care about having as full of a Senate as possible, so that we can have as inefficient of a Senate as possible.

•I need a re-do button for this semester.

•Deon lost by 30 votes. If Charles hadn't gotten so many votes, he'd be our President - I'm a second semester senior - I WOULD LITERALLY TRANSFER

•@[Editor’s note: You might work for The Eagle ... if you can name the ANC rep and not the DNC leader.]; You write for a newspaper. You should know both. [Editor's note: True dat.]

•The light bulbs in the bathroom on this floor were out for so long that when I walked in there today and they had been replaced, I felt like I was in the King's Cross scene at the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Bright lights!

•@Bullet 3 on March 28, - We Men-folk are around

•God is Great, Beer is good, People are crazy

•There is no God.

•OMG Guys I cannot waittt to get fixed tuition here at AU!!! #SGLies

•Kinda sad Abby couldn't get over her loss and give a quote to the Eagle... This is what happens when you feel entitled to winning the election. LONG LIVE THE KING!

•where the eff did the eggs at the salad bar go?! REALLY TDR?! our only options of protein are either tofu smothered in sugary sauce or mystery meat that usually has breading, msg, or more fun sugar sauce... you had to take the eggs?

•Come see The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling be tonight and tomorrow ONLY at the Greenberg theatre on van ness. Support your AMAZING musical theatre program!!! TELL YOUR FRIENDS!! SELL US OUT. YOU could get chosen as an audience volunteer.

•@Never told anyone I used to SI. Should I tell my bf?..... You should confide in him if you feel close enough, and if you don't, you should confide in one of the awesome on-campus counselors. I SI too and my counselor has been helping me understand why I do it and how I can try to stop... you're not alone.

Rant here!
