Eagle Rants April 29, 2012

•As a cat lover I enjoyed that fun fact. Thank you!

•You want anything, you just ask for it, old sport.

•Should I try out for the dance team tomorrow...?

•@"It’s AU students who are going to end world hunger, poverty, war, global warming, oppression of women and children, etc" ROFL ROFL ROFL. News flash, scientists and businesses can end these problems, but snotty political interns sure as hell can't.

•@ "I think this girl in one of my classes is really beautiful, even if she isn't exactly skinny." --who said skinny means beautiful? I like my AU ladies with sexy curves, gorgeous smiles, and kickass personalities. weight DOESN'T matter you conceited fool.

•where is the tunnel between SIS and the library? Do you get to it by going down those big steps in the middle of the building?

•@" AU students give me hope for the future of civilization" Not sure who you're friends with. If I weren't graduating I'd find you. Because everyone I've met here has a stick up their butt and thinks they're too good to own a tv

•The Department of Performing Arts is the best department on campus.

•There's a girl on my floor who never smiles and when she speaks she is so monotone and negative. I would really like to punch her in the face. sorry not sorry

•I am the worst secret-keeper the world has ever seen . . . I am a horrible person

•God came from the minds of men. There is no omnipotent being, unless you want to revere the Universe and its lack of compassion for humanity with superstitious awe. Why does there have to be a god? Just because you don't understand how or why some things are they way they are does not necessarily mean "goddidit". Modern science over the past century or so has explained many phenomena once attributed to the work of a god. The idea that there must be a higher power is part of the human condition, something humans will hopefully evolve out of eventually.

•@I was 100% percent fine with sorority girls until this rant: THAT'S MY POINT. We're not dumber, or sluttier (as the original ranter calling us sorority sluts said,) we contribute just as much and as just a meaningful way as everyone else.

•I think it's ridiculous and so AU that a group of kids are organizing some "Student Union" to protests how AUSG doesn't represent them. The new government hasn't even BEGUN in their positions yet. Give them a chance to prove themselves before you go protesting and yelling and screaming all over the quad. I'm so incredibly sick of the people here that take activism to a sickeningly obnoxious degree. Have respect for your fellow students who just want a chance to prove themselves.

•@”Do have a mental impediment, drrrr doctors only prescribe the drugs that companies tell them to. Your lack of knowledge about the medical community is appalling.” It’s called a natural medicine doctor. DRRRR. Your lack of knowledge about medical options is appalling. PS Not everyone runs so the doctor every time they have a booboo (or acne). It’s called doing your own research. There are medical studies freely available online. It’s called pubmed. And if the medical community is so corrupt, then why are you being your doctor’s puppet?

•@"Would you rather all kids grow up in orphanages? Or roam the streets begging like in Brazil?" I meant if I was in a relationship with a boy or girl of comparable age who was excited about being a parent now and wanted to start asap like half the girls on rants. I have no problem with parenting, just with wasting away college waiting to start it up.

•@”But I really identified with something they said a little later in the article about not wanting to be personally responsible for it. It's too taboo to suggest it yourself, you know?” So true. And I feel like if I ask my bf to dominate me, it will ruin the magic and sexiness of it and then won’t turn me on. # alsosexuallyfrustrated

•@”Are there little Keebler elfs that rub fried chicken grease on them?” Its’ little Keebler elves WHO not little Keebler elves THAT. And it’s elves, not elfs.

•What do eagle ranters think is the best way to fix/improve the education system in America?

•I wear my bikini n the quad because I have low self esteem from my break up and I feel better when other guys compliment my body.

•Coming home I realize that my mother has gone insane and has started to believe that the talk show hosts are her actual friends. She's begun to talk to the TV. Spooky stuff to watch.

•Just found out that the top legislative internship that I applied for (as a freshman this year), was given to somebody from my hometown who just switched from sports journalism to Poly Sci a few months ago. I would be okay if it went to ANYBODY from AU, but this is just making me angry.

•@how do you know if someone consents. um...ASK? I dunno about you, but it's hot when someone says "do you like it when I...?" or "do you like this?" "does this feel good?" It's not that hard!

•Yay cat facts!

•I know you're really stressed, okay? We all are, and I feel for you. But please god stop complaining. It doesn't make this easier for either of us.

•@Person stuck on Chapter 5: you have to find your school supply list before you can move on. It's normally in the street of Diagon Alley

•I am obsessed with myself. That's why I tan in a bikini on the quad. I want all the shirtless frat guys to look at me. They are SO HAWT. Also, I love when the guys wear Vineyard Vines...it reminds me of Martha's Vineyard. I love my little!! :)

•Can't wait to smoke after finals!

•I really hate how my roommate always leaves the shades down. I put them up, she pulls them down again. It's dark and hot and stinky in our room--let in some sunshine and fresh air, man!

•Lol @ people trying to say that bottled water is safer than DC tap water. I know there is Shi*t in DC tap water. Doesn't mean that I am going to drink bottled water. BC PLASTIC BOTTLES NEVER DECOMPOSE. THEY IS GONE LIVE AFTER U DIE YA DUMMY.

•OOooOoo things is gettin JUICY up in these rants.

•DRINKING THROUGH THIS PAPER! IDAF

•I love my roomies! I am going to miss them when I move. :/

•The only reason I miss home is the foood. Chicago pizza u guyz

•Ok I was the "hater" of sorority ladies in my comm classes. It is just annoying to hear about marketing and PR all the effin time. I'm a comm major too...I don't give a hoot about your pinterest.

•Sorority girls only run one thing.... their mouths..... way to much. Please shut up and go back to studying for your art history final so you can talk about the artwork your rich husband buys to put up around the house.

•So can we please get some talented musicians to perform at our school? This year has sucked for school performances...

•I wish a girl would come up to me for once. Why does the guy have to initiate everything?

•@complainer about solo roommate; I'll switch with you! (ps-im a guy) ;)

•Why is it raining in the Hughes 4 girls' bathroom?

•I'm not one of the girls tanning on the quad in a bikini but honestly, do you really think they lay there to show off their bodies? Anyone ever stop to think they may just want to get tanner or enjoy the sun? What's so wrong with that exactly?

•All the rants about Harry Potter and Pottermore make me so happy!! HP FOR THE WIN!

•Sorority girls want to be treated like intellectuals on campus but then go around posting rants about how great they are and how many clubs/activities they participate in and how their GPAs are awesome... yet you wonder why people don't like you? Maybe it's not the sorority label that's causing that...

•I looked at my toes today and said "You guys are getting laid tonight cause this little piggy is going wee wee."

•I love you and hate you all at the same time.

•Whether or not they exist, we're slaves to the gods!

•i want to go home. and not come back.

•Anyone ever notice how our logo is almost identical to Adelphi University's? Another fail by the marketing department, home to the infamous Wonk-ergate.

•@Taking kids to museums? That sounds like way too much work. I'm looking forward to housewife activities like shopping for a new melon scooper: LOLLLL you're fantastic.

•There's absolutely nothing wrong with feeling good about how you look- it's wonderful. There is, however, something wrong with being a bratty airhead, and if you reread her original post, you'll understand why bikini ranter provoked so much negativity.

•Cat facts ranter = <3 <3 <3

•I am sick of your crap. "Don't hate on because I've changed." The only thing you've changed is the weight on your body. Which has INCREASED. Guys only have sex with you because you're easy. You had one guy who was a catholic and remained celibate, and that drove you crazy. I wish I was as enduring as him. Don't you dare ever make me out to be the bad guy. I'm not your sexual assailant. I don't even think of you anymore when I masturbate. I was only trying to be nice by inviting you to a party.

•@AU students give me hope for the future of civilization. Exactly what school in what universe do you go to? Judging by the people I've encountered here, salvation isn't coming anytime soon. Although I think the alcohol industry will be just fine.

Rant here!



Section 202 host Gabrielle and friends go over some sports that aren’t in the sports media spotlight often, and review some sports based on their difficulty to play.
