Eagle Rants: September 18, 2012

• Germany and Russia too far and scary.,

• I really want my roommate to hook up with the guy she's been dancing around for ages. If I'm gonna get sexiled, I want it to be soon. The anticipation is killing me, as is their obvious sexual tension.

• Can you just stop being so adorable for about five minutes? It would be really great because then I could catch my breath. Dammit..

• Why don't we all just be honest with ourselves and each other and admit that, unless you plan on marrying the person, LDRs are stupid?

• tick, tock. tick, tock

• does the rants editor purposely not put up the rants to get a rise out of us? seriously, get off your ass and do your damn job...

• I was wondering why Prof. Pine was wearing make-up on friday. If she's such a feminist, why did she feel the need to pretty herself up for this interview?

• I'm not anti social I just dislike a majority of people.....if that makes any sense to people

• I'm going to smash that damn sheep thing into the library printers if they screw me over one more time!

• Sometimes I see rants that specifically reference girls who have descriptions that could also apply to me, and I just kind of wonder...

• Someone should remove Sydney Gore from the Scene. Seriously. Being in the pit is about enjoying your self, and dancing with fists in the air, not with fists in other people's faces. Also, she has terrible taste in music. You can't go see Panic! at the Disco, then tell people to check out Kitten.

• It's not fun being a science major at AU. People assume the classes you take are a joke. I'd love to see the haters take a five credit genetics course and get a decent grade.

• @will trade meal swipes for massages: I will gladly take you up on that offer -a junior with no meal plan

• Leggings are not pants ladies. Please take the time and courtesy to cover up your camel toe with a dress or a long t-shirt.

• Life is just kind of awesome sometimes.

• I'm trying to do homework. Let's have this discussion later.

• To the HXCORE WONK who is stressed about student government possibly no longer being called studen government: THEY ARE NOT AN ACTUAL GOV. THEY ARE NOT EVEN POLITICAL. THEY ARE STUDENTS DOIN STUFF 4 STUDENTS. Go join college dems/republicans/etc if you want politics because SG isn't the place.

• @McDowell 7: SORRY!!! i'm pretty sure this was us! if you're 601 or somewhere in that neighborhood, terribly sorry!

• girls don't fret if the guy you like isn't getting the hint. it's not the only thing they're clueless about!

• MCDOWELL 7 = AWKWARD!

• EVERYONE STOP BASHING THE EAGLE RANTS EDITOR. If you are really expecting it to be posted at the exact same time every day and are there waiting...then that's kind of pathetic. Don't you have a life? Homework maybe? There are no rules stating when the rants should be posted, in fact they don't need to exist at all. Maybe you need to think about your life decisions before criticizing the editor's. Also, dear editor, if you're a man, is it bad that I imagine you being incredibly hot? [Editor’s Note: Spot on. I am incredibly hot.]

• My ex-boyfriend is a spineless douche who has so far spent this semester going around AU spreading false rumors about me to everyone and his stupid frat bros. And yet I can't help but still love him, because I remember who he used to be. Am I pathetic? I wish the pain would just go away.

• Pulling so many all nighters has messed up my sleep schedule and although it is 4:41 AM I cannot sleep and I don't even have any work to do tonight..... I will regret this at my 8:55 class.

• @Homesick Freshman: Yeah, it'll get easier, but you have to keep yourself busy. The more you dwell on it, the more homesick you'll become. Just get out there and socialize, and you should be out of your funk in no time

• @ "I have no idea how to date guys." I have no idea how to date girls. Do I click my heels three times then get sex?

• Where are all the other unaffiliated girls? Do you exist? HELLO??

• Hunter Hayes love!

• I sang "If It Means A Lot To You" by A Day to Remember ~Open Mic Guy

• The Student Government doesn't govern anything other than itself, so changing the name to 'association' doesn't really seem that bad.

• What is this sloppy-ass eagle rants editing. Back in my day they were promptly delivered and properly formatted and the editor was not quoting song lyrics in their replies like a lovesick frosh.

• Dear Ex Boyfriend, No one likes you. You're a douche. Have fun doing nothing with your life. I hate having to see you every day.

• Haven't been following the whole breast-feeding controversy thing, but to put it in perspective (esp. in terms of women's equality), what do you think people would have done if a male professor whipped out his d*** because it was "sick" and needed some loving? Just sayin...

• I wish I respected myself enough just to tell you no.

• Seriously? Grow a pair and stop telling me about your feelings after we have sex.

• @ Zoolander & Space Jam Ranter. Project Free Tv Video. It Will Save Your Life and Then Some. Let Me Know How It Goes. :)

• I've accepted that I'll never be pretty or charismatic. This made me depressed for a long time, but I've come to terms with it. It means that I am now one of the few people my age who will not judge the worth of themselves or others based on their appearance.

• lonely girl OP here: I'm a senior. I'm not homesick. I love AU, and it feels more like home than anywhere else. I guess I am just lonely because I'm always skeptical that my friends are only pretending to be my friends. I never formed secure attachment bonds growing up, due to my disfunctional family. So I always implicitly think that people are out to get me when I let my guard down. But AU people are the nicest people I have ever met. I wish I could feel as confident in other people as everyone else seems to feel.

• My favorite secret pooping place is the single stall bathroom in Watson.

• @casual walk by: You have no idea how much I actually do this to student clubs on a regular basis.

• I just ran into the girl who used to bully me in middle school. She got fat. #win

• Eugenics really makes the case for a successful America.

• WHERE IS MY NOURISHMENT?! KERWIN, YOU PROMISED!

• TDR needs to bring back their chocolate mints!

• There is a girl wearing an "Obama Y'all" shirt at the Dav dancing to Gangnam Style and I think I'm in love.

• just read the quick takes on frat parties: y'all are some nerds.

• I know you will never guess that I am talking about you but at the very least I know you'll most likely see this. I do feel like you don't care and it sucks. I'm offended by so many things- but I'll keep it inside.

• Sometimes jealousy creeps into my heart, of people who have more money than me and of people who have happy relationships. It's not something that I want though; it leads to anger, and their success doesn't cause my shortcoming. It's a vice that I don't have room for, and I will overcome it.

• Did anyone else see the alien standing outside the library yesterday? It waved to me and then the UFO took it away. It would be sad if I'm the only person who saw it :(

• SO GLAD THAT GIRL IS DATING SOMEONE HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

• TDR ruins my day every time I attempt to eat there.Fudge having to get a meal plan.

• I own a 12 inch dildo and put it next to my roommates heads while theyre sleeping. We are all guys and it was the best $40 I ever spent

• Katawa Shoujo for the win!

• Those of you Ranters looking for AU gamers we are around and we convene on saturday nights at around 7:30 on the second floor of MGC, we are not hard to find. If you want some, come get some.

• people please be nice to the editor you never know he could stop posting rants altogether because we complain. Trust the fact that the editor has a life that does not revolve around posting rants. P.S this isn't the editor

• I like sitting in a different chair every time class meets because it's so fun watching the domino effect of confused people not knowing where to sit :)

• @Gangnam Style ranter: Where do you live? That very well could have been me and my friends, and if it was, I sincerely, apologize!

• Blonde girl at the Kogod desk. I saw you at guapos. I want you so bad.

• My dream is start a circle pit in the middle of a class...one day it will happen, and either As I Lay Dying or WhiteChapel better be playing in the background

• I enjoyed the T.S. Elliot bit at the end of the rants. Got anymore? [Editor’s Note: “No” - T.S. Elliot, The Hollow Men line 29]

• i know you read this, i read this too. you suck, you know who you are.

• I found an entire slug in my TDR salad.

• Where are the open parties at?

• Class of 2016 sucks

• @ChildAbuseVictim I am so sorry. I was also abused as a child. I have a stable doctor, and a stable support system. But every day is still an uphill battle. Most people get it. I just wish my roommate were attuned enough to pick up on the things that are important, get that I'm hurting, and cut the parent-like nagging on the stupid bullshit. Just remember that you're not alone.

• @ Try opening yourself up to new experiences and new challenges. This is probably not the best advice you want to tell someone who was planning to cut themselves open.

• To whoever wanted to know about AU Gamers, we meet in MGC 200 at 8:00pm on Saturdays. Be glad to see you! We tend to be pretty laid back.

• wish there was a shuttle from the berks/avalon/4200/4201 apartments to tenleytown metro - with the housing price raise, not all of us can live on campus. WALK. BIKE. RUN. It's a mile from Tenley, about .2 of a mile from the Berks or the Av. This is why Americans are fat.
