•I didn't know I was an eagle rant addict until I've had TWO DAYS WITHOUT THEM!
•I think there are plenty of attractive guys here, sadly I just don't know any of them
•Don't talk trash about AU science. First I've got four job offers with my biochemistry degree and they all pay way better than any of your internships where you fetch the coffee and pick up the dry cleaning. Second, let's see you handle a single science course at AU. Third, CAS has the highest average GPA at the university. Say what you want about art but we put in work. Fourth, Biochemistry requires the most credits out of any other degree at AU. AU science is for those of us who are social activists with a strong work ethic to handle the sciences. You would learn alot from us.

•that moment when you've just painted your nails and now you have to go potty
•@”Have fun finding a husband who will let you mooch and be happy about it.” Actually plenty of guys (myself incuded) would prefer to be married to a wife who doesn’t work. Families where both parents work are far too stressed out and fight over who had to leave work to pick up the kids form soccer, stay home with them when they are sick, etc.
•Are you seriously equating Race to the Top with NCLB. Race to the top was the most significant step forward for education in America’s history. Finally teachers have incentive to be better teachers and students benefit from the top teachers not leaving the field due to being unappreciated and underpaid. Please learn some basics about education policy because you make yourself sound like an idiot.
•@”People need to understand that paying more than $200K for a college education is just wasteful and your husband is going to end up picking up your slack since you do not plan on getting a job.” Um actually my husband would have much more “slack” to pick up if I did work because then we have to share chores and cooking. Whereas if I don’t work, he can have a more stress free life. You seem to lack some basic logic skills here.
•Re : [Editor's note: Deleting an Eagle Rant is not "censorship."] I’m not the OP, but yes deleting a rant that does not break the rules YOU set out IS CENSORSHIP. And yes, you owe this person an explanation as to why his/her rant got “deleted” since he/she told you which rant it was (which makes your usual ‘idk which rant is yours’ act moot) [Editor's note: The Rant was needlessly mean, crude and possibly identified the person, if it's the one this editor is thinking of.]
•@"I had a lot going for me, and somehow I just spiraled out of control. HELP." I feel you...I don't know what's wrong with me, but this semester it just seems like I'm incapable of getting s*** done.
•@"JUST DECIDED TO DO IT. BEST DECISION EVER." Congrats!
•I love my LDR boyfriend but I feel like we don't connect on the same level while we're apart. Any tips on convo starters that can help bring us closer instead of just filling each other in?
•@This editor would like to apologize profusely. In between a paper and her capstone... Good luck on your capstone! We love you, Eagle Rants Editor, and we definitely want you to graduate :) [Editor's note: Gee, thanks!]
•Girls you can’t have it both ways. You can’t want to be treated like men when it’s convenient and then treated like girls when it’s convenient. Not fair.
•@”Kids apply here who actually want jobs when they leave and need the prestige AU has to offer. Someone who wants to be a housewife and has no interest in a job can still be educated at a state school or something.” Maybe they don’t want a state school education. Maybe they want to live in DC. Pretentious rich kids at their best throwing money at something they don't need. Stop hating on people who have more money than you. There will always be people richer than you. Get used to it.
•@person who said people who want paid jobs need the prestige of AU more than future housewives and future housewives should just go to state school : You do know there are 53 state universities ranked higher than AU right? So my state school has more “prestige” than AU. But I wanted to be around people who care about bettering the world and not people who live to party like at my state school.
•@”Men make more money then women because we have to take you places on dates!” What girls are you dating? As a girl, I would NEVER let a guy pay for me on a date. If you claim to be a feminist and then expect a guy to pay on a date, then you are the worst kind of hypocrite.
•Editor, I forgive you for forgetting to post the rants. We all make mistakes. Don't sweat it. (But don't let it happen again!)
•@”Not dissin the gay community, but have fun finding a husband who is not gay/ugly at this school.” In case you aren’t aware, there is actually no rule prohibiting dating guys at other schools. My future husband goes to Georgetown. But thanks for playing.
•@there is a difference between a housewife and a stay at home mom: What is the difference?
•If a drunk guy kisses you and asks you to come back to his room is this an “attempted rape”? [Editor's note: This editor would define it as a person's attempt to assault someone through physical force, coercion, abuse of authority or with a person who is incapable of valid consent.]
•@”That makes sense. Being a housewife? Not so much.” Please tell me why a journalist should have a college degree and a mother should not? I’m pretty sure raising young minds is much more important work that writing stories.
•@girl trying to get her ex-bf back: Any news? Don't leave us hanging! Good luck! I'll be praying for you. Do you ever stop and wonder why you go through friends so quickly? Why ALL of your friendships end in nasty fights? just sayin...
•@future AU student reading rants: Nice to meet you. You are going to love it here. AU is full of passionate, intelligent, caring, intellectual, quirky, awesome people. Get excited for the best years of your life. :)
•Do AU students look down on Catholic U students? -Catholic U student
•How do I convince my bf that I love him and miss him without smothering him or seeming clingy?
•"I need some advice. I've been thinking..." Let him know youre sorry! But tell him that you just wanted to get it off your chest and you dont want to get back together or anything like that. As long as you dont confuse him, you know? I think any guys like an apology!
•Thoughts about wrestlers? Go.
•@@Female Scientist: You go to AU for science. No job offers for you. Tell that to my $12,000 signing bonus (AFTER taxes).
•I love me some John Denver too, but you potheads blasting "Country Road" in the LA Quad at 1:40AM are ruining him for the rest of us! >=(
•I thought we agreed that stay at home mom was just as worthy a job as any other and just as deserving of education. Why do people keep provoking this debate by putting down stay at home moms?
•Please stop commenting on a million rants. I get why it's a good idea for you to comment on ones about needing info about the counseling center,etc but it's annoying to have you comment on rants you just don't agree with. I think this position should be as an objective bystander who edits out the rude/dangerous ones, not a commentator. Plus, because everyone knows who you are, shouldn't you not be commenting on the controversial ones, because it compromises the Eagle's objectivity?

•Editor, has there been a decision regarding how often summer rants will be published? [Editor's note: This editor doesn't know. It's up to the new editor-in-chief and the Web editor.]
•The eagle officially sucks.
•So AU was featured on the abc show Scandal as a college of rape victims. This the image that WI is projecting to the world. This is not cool. It disempowers women. We need to be teaching women to make smart decisions (like not binge drinking around guys they don’t know. Out current method is ridiculous. It’s like telling people to not bother locking their house doors and then holding protests about how people shouldn’t burglarize. This needs to change. Enough dogma. More education.
•Dude, I just spent my weekend in Jerusalem. Study Abroad is awesome.
•love waking up to the sound of my neighbor's sexy creaking bed in the morning!
Rant here!
