Eagle Rants: August 13, 2012

•@Girl who celebrates Half Christmas: Way to keep it real, the world could use more holidays.

•@ wtf there are no chase banks in dc and there is no buffalo wild wings. To this guy, I live near one. They exist.

•I think that there is a fine line between debates and arguments. And my class definitely dances on that line. I don't see anything wrong with debates because it sharpens the mind and opens it up to different perspectives. I've personally learned a lot during these debates/arguments. However, I see how we can seem very immature. Can an upperclassman who will not curse me out tell me what you think about my view of this situation?

•The more I read into the 2016 group the more I get scared that I totally made the wrong choice...-Hope its the right choice

•I'd like the 2016ers a lot more if they would quit ranting. Until you are an AU student, you do not deserve to rant. And you only become an AU student when you order Wingo's blacked out, find your favorite secret bathroom for secret pooping, and/or hookup on Kerwin's lawn.

•Financial Aid Office.. Thats that s*** I DONT like

•I wonder when the (like 50 total) posters in the 2016 group will realize posting in it will not get you laid...

•I miss the 2016 Livestream movie nights! Those were the BEST to watch. So many awkward nerds trying to flirt over the internet. Should'uv gone to MIT

•some ppl onda 2016need to stfU

•The class of 2016 Facebook page depresses me..and I'm an incoming freshman. FML.

•Dear 2016ers, YOU.ARE.DOING.IT.ALL.WRONG. You're supposed to wait until **after** you get to AU to start hating each other, and excluding people. Like after welcome week at least. You havent even drunkenly hooked up with each other or figured out if the cute guy on your floor is gay or not yet! Youre still supposed to love each other right now!

•Can't wait until the 2016ers get all dressed up during welcome week to try to get into frat parties. Some ego's are going to get knocked down a few thousand pegs.

•*kanye shrug*

•What is a "good friendly SSS"?

•@NBColympics.com editor's note: Actually all I hadto do was SAY I had cable and I was able to see all the olympic events online without actually having cable. Guess it doesn't work for everyone. But worth a try.

•@west coast AU equivalent, I would say Santa Clara University, with Stanford being the Georgetown and USC being the GW

•How can I see this class of 2016 page that everyone is talking about? Can non class of 2016 people see it?

•So I've decided t drop out of my PhD program. I feel so much relief. Time to read all the good books that I have been putting off reading since high school.

•If a guy never talks about your future together does that mean he doesn't see a future with you or that maybe he does doesn't really talk about the future. Because my bf doesn't talk about his own future that much but it really bugs me that when I talk about us being married he just says nothing. Thoughts?

•If I were an olympian I would so want to compete on trampoline.

•So my mom says she can't afford my tuition because money is tight. Then she adds on to our 2 million dollar house with brand new renovations to almost every room. Glad your priorities are straight mother. F*** You.

•Dear class of 2016: don't worry, most upperclassmen haven't formed an opinion of you yet. Unless you've posted videos or argued about something stupid, in which case we have your name down for rush. Love, sorority gals.

•All these 2016 rants are making me realize that having weekly summer rants rather than daily was probably a blessing in disguise.

•The AU portal sucks. The AU portal accessed abroad sucks worse.

•are you kidding me? Emily yu puts her sorority little in a student government position. nice to know that sg is still corrupt as ever.

•campus, calm yourselves, join WVAU.

•To the person who suggested Loyola Marymount is the west coast equivalent of AU: I don't think so, they don't have nearly as many people majoring in SIS / poli sci. Also, they have a lot of science majors.

•Can everyone just be hapyp and postive while we enjoy our last few days of summer break?

•@“blah blah blah will be available to the student through their own portal” also known as maze. really AU, can we not use those billions of tuition dollars towards organization? Trust me, you'd be thanking your lucky stars if you saw the student portal for my non-AU grad school program. It is awful; the AU portal is a thousand times better. And WOW, why are there so many incoming freshmen on Eagle Rants now? Who spilled the beans?

•My hometown's mayor's profile picture on Facebook is of Mayor Quimby from The Simpsons. This is my life.

•@"I hope the Eagle doesn't record IP addresses" - even if they did, they would only know the general area from which you posted. If they wanted to find out exactly who you are, they would need a warrant to demand that information from your ISP.

•I am baffled about how many of my friends are getting engaged/married or having babies. When did we get that old? /especially awkward since I've never had a significant other. Oops.

•I joined the 2016 Facebook group then left a week later when the people posting seemed strange, but now I feel like I'm missing out on all the entertainment lol

•Today I played a prank on the entire dining room by replacing all of the decaf coffee with regular. The two are completely indistinguishable once someone (like me) has filled an empty decaf container with regular and put it back on the shelf. I feel a little guilty because I know it was wrong to do, but all the guests this week are a**holes, and they deserve it. Never piss off your waiter.

•Girl looking for a "Devil's Threeway," name the time and place... To everyone else the key is no eye contact...

•" @ freshman "wtf there are no chase banks in dc and there is no buffalo wild wings or wingstop wtf" I KNOW !! I am from Chi-city and this is a major issue. You should open up a cap one account so you can deposit $

•@Disney Princess appreciation club: what, you don't think boys are capable of princess appreciation? YOU MISANDRIST!

•That awkward moment when you realize you're already friends with that guy you've been flirting with on Grindr.

•That awkward moment when your sister's high school prom date gives you his number and says "we should hang out one day ;)" ...you're a guy.

•I don't get how we are supposed to be an accepting school and already shutting out a group of people. Give the 2016ers a chance.

•west coast equivalent of AU would probably be the University of San Francisco, or possibly Seattle University? Idk

•The only thing more revolting than SPA Leadership is seeing all your spaleader classmates stalking the new class. "BABIEEEEES." Ugh.

•Lol no one comments on eagle rants ever

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.
