Eagle Rants: September 27, 2012

• Love Somebody by Maroon 5 perfectly encapsulates my feelings for you.

• that awkward moment you find out your friend has a sick obsession with light green boogers. and oreos.

• @"where can I meet other sexual assault survivors at AU? I feel so alone." You're not. Why don't you contact the Sexual Assault Prevention Coordinator, Daniel Rappaport? He's helped me a lot...I think he also knows about local support groups. There's also the RAINN online hotline, 24/7.

• I normally don't care if people smoke. I just move away if it starts bothering me. But this b* kept getting closer and closer to me as I moved away from her. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. By the time she was done smoking her cigarette, I was like 10 feet away from where i started.

• 22 YR OLD WHO'S NEVER BEEN KISSED AND 21 YR OLD WHO'S NEVER BEEN KISSED: GO KISS EACH OTHER!!!!

• Dear uber creepy guy who lives on my floor: I am not --nor will I ever be-- interested in talking to you/hanging out with you... ever. Sorry not sorry. So please stop trying to "catch" me in the lounge when I am very clearly studying late into the night and don't want to be bothered.

• On another note, to the cute/smart/friendly guy who also lives on my floor but I haven't seen around in a while, please feel free to rescue me anytime. Or come say hi while I'm at the mudbox... I'd just like to get to know you, you're interesting!

• @pasta salad dude: that's funny, i do like that. dav at three on saturday? we can double date with open mike guy and his love interest!

• YO editor: i have discovered your true identity... your secret is safe with me!

• You constantly remind everyone that you did debate in high school, and you feel a pathological need to get involved in EVERY political/social discussion that begins on Facebook, oh, and you use the emoticon XD an incessant amount. So you. STOP IT. It's incredibly annoying to see you comment on every single freaking discussion. Just go away. Please. I'm begging. I know you think you're doing us a favor by contributing with your clearly ground breaking knowledge, but the reality is that you're annoying, sad, and actually kind of mean. So please, STOP.

• I love when people think that adding an emoticon means that their statement won't be as rude or mean. Not the case, you're still nasty, and I still don't care what you have to say. K bye.

• Honor, courage, commitment. I could use improvement in all three. Help me out here, Chesty.

• Does anyone want to see Death Angel/Threat Signal at Empire on October 5th?

• There have been way too many rants lately that have made me wonder if they're about me........I NEED TO KNOW

• I keep getting the urge lately to be strong and ask a guy to hang out....would that be wrong because I'm a girl? Usually I am into a guy asking me because if he wants to hang out he should put in the effort, buuuuut lately I don't know.....what do you fellow ranters think?

• @ I hate everyone club. My first complaint is that your refreshments probably suck. am I off to a good start? :)

• In other papers there are rants annnd raves. why don't we rave? I'll get the ball rolling. Rant: Girls, I don't know how you manage to get so much pee on toilet seats but this has got to stop. just sit down! and if you somehow drench the seat, please have the common courtesy to tidy when you're done. It's gross. Rave: today in starbucks I was 30 cents short and the cashier was super nice and understanding and didn't make fun of me at all. You go starbucks girl! Thanks for making my morning

• my favorite part of AU is that like 98% of my friend circle reads thoughtcatalog.

• @ "Munchkins Fan" There is a Gamer's Club that meets every Saturday on the second floor of MGC. Plenty of Munchkin up there.

• @ It’s NOT about breast feeding!: You're absolutely right, it is about doing your job, which is why she had to bring her child in or risk cancelling class. The baby had only a minor fever and was never anywhere close enough to a student to get them sick. As for Katie Couric, we had a movie scheduled for class that day, Dr. Pine wasn't needed in class. I'm sure she wouldn't have left if it was a lecture day. Learn what you're talking about before you embarrass yourself.

• Dear biddy in front of me in class, stop playing with your hair. It looks fine. You know why? You sat right in front of me instead of in the many vacant seats to the right or left. I have had to stare at your "messy bun" instead of seeing the teacher and the screen.

• I wish I didn't have to be a slut to get a guy.

• blonde & curly: She may have graduated, but our sorority still hates you. You earned it. Go away.

• @ the Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go ranter. I love you. and I love yo' face even though I've never seen it ((sometimes I just like to feel like I Phillip Defranco I guess))

• Okay. I feel like a horrible person. You have a crush on me and are nice to talk to but I'm not at all physically attracted to you. I know that beggars can't be choosers which is why I'm freaking out so much. BLAH! Why does my stupid brain not find you attractive!! You're not exclusively homosexual, single, and go to AU. I should be dancing for joy =/

• I ate salsa twice yesterday and pooped my entire life out

• I think the most upsetting thing about the whole breastfeeding scandal is that she wasn't winking back at me

• I'm really sick of people not thinking I'm good enough for my boyfriend.

• @guys in suspenders are hot- suspenders guy lives on my hall and has a really nice body. Just saying.

• @Does AU block websites? My browsing history of strange hardcore pornography would suggest that they don't.

• Theory: the Battelle Atrium is always freezing because lit majors are so hot ;D

• Delt boyzzzzz

• Throughly disappointed with mac and cheese wednesdays this year. Pick it up guys.

• We should get more free t-shirts. I'm paying far too much money to this school to have only gotten 2 shirts.

• If I dont get drunk this weekend, im goning to cry

• I still have hickies from Saturday night!! Dear whoever gave me to me, HOWWWWWW????

• In re: @ “sig chi preppy guys are hot”... said no one ever. ^except sig chi preppy guys…. And boom goes the dynamite. Amen.

• Such BS about tuition going up 30% over the next five years. Revolt! #caus

• @"CAUS = unoriginal and ill informed. Rich kids band together to take on this exact same ‘issue’ every couple of years." I know lots of CAUS people and they're not at all rich kids. Pretty dumb to to assume that a group trying to fight against tuition hikes is made up of rich people.

• So I really wanted you to stop calling me, but now that you have I wish you'd call me again.

• I was really looking forward to seeing you today. Too bad you didn't show up.

• I swear, if I hear one more person suggest watching "Army Wives" to feel better about their relationship... You're all sick.

• I'm pretty sure I'm the only one that buys the string cheese in the Mudbox, but my low-carb self is wholeheartedly thankful for it

• @guy who is pretending to be an a$$hole- we actually like nice guys, but confident nice guys. Be yourself!

• HOW DO I JOIN THE BEEKEEPING CLUB?

• today i learned that i don't like brussel sprouts. thank you ward cafe

• Just one of those horrible weeks that culminates with a failed Arabic exam. Excuse me while I go pull a "Garden State" and scream from a rooftop somewhere . . .

• Can I just say how much I love this France--Italy dialogue? Whoever you people are, you're awesome! : D

• free your feet free your mind

• I have a feeling that I may have been perpetually farting throughout the day.

• @LDR Basher "you could always end it". Losing the live of your life wouldn't make it "easier". I can tell you are single.

• Theory: the Battelle Atrium is always freezing because lit majors are so hot ;D

• I'm sorry for not greeting you back, but I have prosopagnosia and didn't realize who you were until you walked away. You probably think I'm horribly socially awkward/bitchy now....


Section 202 hosts Connor Sturniolo and Gabrielle McNamee are joined by fellow Eagle staff member and phenomenal sports photographer, Josh Markowitz. Follow along as they discuss the United Football League and the benefits it provides for the world of professional football.
