Eagle Rants: October 4, 2012

• I hate it when you get this impression that a class is a complete joke, so you B.S. all the writings and essays, only to realize that you have an A- in the class.because the professor randomly decided to read all of your responses. Sooo stressed gaah

• you suck editor!

• @In debt student complaining about paying the bills Why did you even come to AU in the first place? AU is an alright school that costs as much as Yale. It sort of blows my mind that people didn't realize how overpriced it was before they came.

• that amazing moment when your two best friends are gay, and dating

• I love when I read a rant that I agree with, then remember that I was the one who wrote it. Oops.

• "@I shouldn’t be going to a school where I’m afraid to say I’m Republican" I'm sorry that you have to experience that so much. It bothers me too, since that whole idea of shaming Republicans for thinking differently is really closed-minded, and that way of thinking stops us from getting sh*t done and actually fixing our country. I hope you realize not all of us are like that. Love, A Distressed Democrat

• How are freshmen in relationships already... I mean, it's been a month. Do you guys really know each other?

• @girl with a hot and bubbly roommate: hey now, chin up. You sound like more of my kind of girl anyways.

• To the girl wearing the red Spider-Man shirt in MGC on October 3rd around 6:30pm, will you go out with me?

• @@boyfriend: that's for me to know and for you to never find out

• Does anybody know what happened with Open Mic Guy and the freshman girl who met at the Dav on Tuesday? Inquiring minds would like to know.

• I walked in on two transexual horses f****** in the library bathroom #AUprobs

• The readings in my entry level history class are apparently the readings in a level 400 class at some other university. Not sure if I feel accomplished or overwhelmed.

• That awkward moment when your female friends are discussing how every guy at this school is gay or taken, and you're neither...

• Ok, it's official, I'm pathetic

• To those concerned about which resident hall I work in, the resident in question recently came to the desk and had a brief conversation with me. It made my day. If you have not visited your hall's desk recently to have a brief discussion with the DR, then you are not the resident in question. Have a nice day.

• I just had eye sex with someone in subway through the window while I was walking to the gym. Hey cutie

• Watching you throw your life away makes me sick. I could say that I miss you but it's at this point where you have become disgusting. And I may be too attractive for you but sometimes I catch myself thinking about you wondering if you think about me too

• BLACKOUT OR BACK OUT.

• The sour skittles in TDR irritated the top of my mouth. they're so damn good, though.

• Oops. I mean Eagle's Nest. TDR would never have sour skittles. That would be awesome, though... I'd take that over soggy firewok rice.

• I'll keep an eye out for the drunk Rock this weekend. Hopefully I won't be too drunk myself to not notice him.

• someone sat on the library sheep? Get your undeserving butt off that sheep man : (

• @"GOD THIS SCHOOL IS TOO SMALL. EVERY ELIGIBLE GUY I MEET HAS SOMEHOW BEEN INVOLVED WITH SOMEONE I KNOW." I'm there is no rule that says u have to be with an AU guy. You live in a large city with plenty of single college aged guys. Branch out

• I miss AU so much! What cities can I move to where I can find the Most similar demographic to AU students? I'm a recent alum and there are zero interesting, politically engaged, non-profit do gooder, quirky, nerdy, awesome people in my small Ohio city. And don't say DC or NYC or Boston. I'm getting married soon and looking to start a family, so I need someplace affordable. Thank you!

• Everyone needs to stop complaining about the lack of having someone to date/cuddle/bang etc. If you're interested in someone (for whatever reason), say something. Done. If you get turned down, accept it and move on--but don't complain about your life when you refuse to change anything or make even an attempt.

• To the people complaining about the lack of single straight guys: it'd be easier if YOU didn't assume we were either taken or gay. Sincerely, a straight single guy

• I hate a healthy majority of music played in the dav. Seriously, if it's supposed to be so indie and hipster can't they at least play good music?

• "Where are all the cute girls?" Said all the straight single guys at AU

• Why do I give Mitt Romney a hard time? Because I believe he's secretly a Cylon, is why. Obama-Biden 2

• Made out with hot girl at euronight... need to find her

• #eye contact/boots - She is shorter, blond and ridiculously cute. Her boots were black leather, almost to the knee with heels. I also don't know if the eye contact avoidance is a good or bad thing

• I literally laughed out loud when I saw that three people responded to that one guys "avoiding eye contact/cute boots" rant. Two of you are going to be disappointed...

• annyeong

• SCAN ROCKS!

• The presidential debate would have been the perfect time to sneak a quickie. Almost anybody on campus could have sexiled their roommate without them even knowing about it. Why didn't I think of that earlier....

• CAUS is the least sexy thing our campus has ever had. Stop self-promoting, you're disgusting.

• To the guy who lives above me in the Berks: IF YOU PLAY GANGNAM STYLE ONE MORE TYPE I WILL COME UP THERE AND KICK YOU WHERE IT HURTS THE MOST.

• i need someone to go husband shopping at the naval academy with me...

• why does the package room have to have "hours of operation"? i just want my freaking package now...

• Iran, I don't see why I need you in any way, but I can see why you would want me. My muscles are pretty worthy of flexing, and I'm glad you could see them all the way over there. America PS: I always like a bit of a revolution. ;)

• @QutationalQuip: "The horizon cries every time night fall comes to take you. Let me also say I want to make you soup and sandwiches and peanut butter cookies...hey you like peanut butter, and I like you." -Andrea Gibson

• Why oh why is it still necessary to tell college students that a thesis statement has to be specific and thoughtful?

• I know that if someone ever offered me the chance to cheat on test without getting caught, I would take it in a heartbeat. This scares me.

• @"It’s tough being roommates with someone so outgoing" you'd be surprised about how many guys would prefer the quiet girl over the outgoing one

• @"I get annoyed when girls want to know where all the boyfriends are at...Get over it, we’re out there"- then step up and ask a girl out. make your presence known!

• Why can't eagle's nest sell cigarettes whyyyyyy?

• I'm not sure how I feel about you....

• @"It’s tough being roommates with someone so outgoing" ME TOO. My roommate is really nice and outgoing and not a sorority girl, so she has a lot of really nice guys basically falling in love with her. I can't even be jealous or angry because she's honestly a good person. It'd be like getting jealous of everybody wanting to pet a cute puppy.

• I LOVE THE EAGLE

• Where all our hot men at??? Meet us at the bars, you'll know its us because we'll be plastered.

• The eagle rants went up so late. at like 1:30 am or something maybe I think. so late. ;u;

• I'm so tiiiiireeeeeeeeed.

• To the Anderson 5N pooper: You made our floor's day. We were rolling around laughing
