Eagle Rants March 31, 2012

•Nick Rangos once wrote my name on his abs. Fact.

•@“I am currently dating said former OL. In other words you should go back to shelving your own book." SHE'S TAKEN?

•I wish could respect my major :( public communication isnt just talking with people. we work hard also. respect for SOC would be great :(

•Why can't I use 4shared while connected to eaglesecure? Seems like it's partially blocked...not all uses of file-sharing sites are illegal! I buy or Spotify my music and don't even watch TV or movies. :(

•@ "I am currently dating said former OL. In other words you should go back to shelving your own book" - That's odd because she's single...

•Your Eyes, The Ones That Took Me By Surprise, The Night You Came Into My Life, Where There's Moonlight, I See Your Eyes

•@Billy Currington song: YES!!! There are so few of us who appreciate Country music on this campus. Thank you for this, totally made my afternoon better :)

•Completely disagree. Dagny Taggart has spunk.

•@TriDelt - I'd at least be interested in learning more about it if not joining a new chapter!

•I'm at a crossroads right now and you should maybe text me this weekend and show me you're still interested. Otherwise I'm moving on...

•@Thoughts on PIKE brothers -- college acb got taken down for a reason. let's not turn eagle rants into a nasty Greek life gossip page. [Editor's note: This editor seconds that.]

•I'm a girl and I want to sexually experiment. I'm straight but I think hooking up with a girl would be so sexy. Maybe I'm bi curious. Either way, is anyone else feeling like this?

•"It’s not romantic or mature…those are euphemisms for prude/scared of real emotion." I'm mature enough not to judge people on the basis of whether or not they have sex. I got over that phase in middle school.

•@glittery poop ranters, noon at the dav on monday work? [Editor's note: How are y'all going to find each other? Walk up to someone who looks lost and ask "Hey, are you the one who wants glittery poo?"]

•@Person in the similar situation to me who also left their LDR for someone here: You don't know how much better it makes me feel that someone else understands this. We made mistakes. Tonight I'm going to talk to him about it and try to get him back. I'll rant the results when I know. Wish me luck(:

•I don't think anyone will believe me but...one of my neighbors on Anderson 6S will not stop singing. Literally it woke me up at 6am and I just got back to my room at 6pm and its still going on. It's not like there's any music either. and it's not singing exactly. It's more of screamo/chanting. I also heard him angrily yelling at himself to shut up....

•There probably won't be any new sororities any time soon, because of how the rush process works. Since almost all of the girls that rush get bids, there is no actual need for another sorority on campus. Try talking to more girls in different sororities, they might surprise you :)

•I pooped glitter after big/little week, its awful.

•Ok ok. We get it. Not all virgins are prudes. Not all people who have sex are sluts. Can this argument end now? [Editor's note: Seconded.]

•I cracked a joke about the letters SI last night before realizing that they stand for self-injure. No one needs to go through life dealing with their problems alone, so if you are hurting yourself, please talk to someone or go to the counseling center. Maybe some people will judge you, but a good number of us just want you to be safe and happy :).

•To the guy in the blue shirt that picked up the silverware in TDR when the conveyer belt knocked it over around 6:00-that was really nice of you. I don't think anyone thanked you, but I saw.

•I pay a lot of money to go to a school with rigorous programs and top notch faculty. I was super impressed with Sariva and all the projects she's been involved in this year. So you don't renew her contract? #AUwtf #SaveOurSariva

•Sex Tumblr? Is this happening?

•@Eagle Rant chatroom. Yes!--editor? [Editor's note: Do people still use chatrooms? This editor thought they were so 2000s.]

•I'm not the original poster, but lots of people know what SI means. And it sucks to criticize someone that is trying to reach out about their self injury (SI)...

•Anyone gonna be around for Capital Pride this June? I wanna go, but not alone...

•Is it normal to feel so lonely in college? I'm a freshman. I have some friends, but not very close ones. I end up alone most weekends. I like a lot at AU, just not necessarily the social scene... is it just me? am i the problem? [Editor's note: A lot of upperclassmen would say it takes about a semester to a year to feel like you really fit in and have a good group of college friends. If you're looking for more friends, joining clubs, sports teams, social/professional fraternities/sororities, religious organizations, student media, etc. are all great ways to meet people.]

•I cut down trees I eat my lunch I go to the lavatory On Wednesdays I go shopping And have buttered scones for tea

•Ok, no one knows what SI is. Please explain. [Editor's note: See multiple Rants above.]

•@”it’s kinda pathetic if you’re not ready by 18/19”: Actually the frontal lobe of the brain (which controls rational decision making) is not fully developed until the early 20s (the reasoning behind making the drinking age 21 rather than 18). Hence, losing virginity at 18/19 is usually an immature decision.

•I get really anxious during class discussions. Sometimes it seems like a contest to see who is the most intellectually superior. Such snobbery sometimes.

•@”although it’s kinda pathetic if you’re not ready by 18/19”; Sorry you’re jealous of people who get to experience real true lovemaking by knowing that the person they are engaging in their first sexual journey with is also experiencing the same thing with them. You are beyond immature and clearly have no knowledge of how psychological development works.

•@”While voting, I facebook stalked half the candidates. If they were ugly, I didn’t vote for them.” Please don’t reproduce. That is all.

•Is it kinda odd that Emily Yu only won with 7 percent of the entire undergraduate student body voting for her?

•I just lost the one person I love because of a stupid mistake. Never knew three years could die so fast.

•Why does everyone assume that wanting to saving yourself for “the one” makes you a conservative republican. I’m a flaming liberal and I want to wait until I am at least engaged before I have sex. If I have sex with a guy I will get attached, and then if we break up I will be heartbroken and depressed. And having already battled depression in high school, I don’t wish to go through that again.

•Just because someone is a virgin and wants to wait for the one, doesn’t mean they idolize Rick Santorum. It’s basic logic that engaging in something pleasurable with lots of people decreases the pleasure of it when you finally get to your spouse. If I ate Georgetown cupcakes everyday, sure I would probably still think they taste sweet and delicious. But they wouldn’t be as special of a treat.

•Tim McBride is quite obviously The Commodore.

•@TriDelt, I am also interested in starting a new sorority on campus. Would others be interested?

•What is SI??? I'm assuming its not the international system of units also known as SI units [Editor's note: See above.]

•I have to remind myself after we f*** that the only reason I want to cuddle is that weird chemical that gets released after sex. It breaks my heart to think otherwise.

•I AM LRRR, RULER OF THE PLANET OMICRON PERSEI 8!

•Who needs adderall when you have coffee??!!?!?Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

•Is there a support group on campus for people going through breakups? jw

•@the person who used to SI: You're not obligated to tell your boyfriend, but I told mine and he said he was glad I told him because he could help me never do it again. I think you should tell him at some point because as much as this sucks, it's a mentality that never totally goes away-- I still have to fight the urge sometimes when I get really upset. And honestly, it's kind of nice to have someone who knows what you've been through. I had never told anyone about it before then, either.

•Stop complaining about taking science classes. They really aren't that hard. Man up.

•I believe in Harvey Dent.

•That awkward moment when you're finally going to get the Declaration of Independence signed by all the delegates and then someone brings up slavery. WELP.

•Things that are ABSOLUTELY NOT OKAY on the silent floor of the library: talking on your cell phone.

•An update about trying to get the boyfriend back- He said no. I guess I deserved that, but that doesn't really numb the pain. Girls, don't leave what you've got if it's going great.

•meow where are today's eagle rants? sadface :( [Editor's note: meow. here.]

Rant here!
