Eagle Rants: November 3-4, 2012

• "...I just keep trying to make sure she knows I’m here for her." You're probably not addressing this to me, but if you are (and even if you're not), thanks for the gesture. It's good to know that someone is willing to listen but I would never put that weight on a friend's shoulders-- I'll try to get proper help if it gets any worse.

• To the hoagie haven ranters I miss the fries the most! From a fellow resident of the princeton area

• Trying to compose the perfect rant, but it doesn't look like it's coming out tonight. It's 9:30 and I'm going to bed. Man's gotta sleep sometime.

• Today my advisor should drop out of grad school.

• @ "I have $20 mil in trust fund money and there is literally nothing I want that money can buy." Pics or GTFO.

• Re: "Hey kid on the couch chairs in MGC by the info desk, I saw you on Imgur. I

• I like to be alone in crowded places. It makes me feel safe. What exactly does this say about me?

• hanoi :)

• I JUST WANNA MAKE OUT!

• Whoever randomly gave me a hug in TDR tonight (2nd November), thank you. I'm having a slightly awful week and really needed it :)

• Every time I find someone that I might end up liking a lot it all goes to shit. Really what am I doing wrong when girls have a good first impression of me and then just stop talking to me?

• @revolution class struggle/subversive love: wyf this is prob the weirdest rant ever. So you are saying love is subversive and there needs to be a revolution against it? I think u better get back on ur meds

• Nothing makes me feel better than when strangers reply nice things to my rants.

• I miss last years editor. The girl who would write cute responses and jokes under the rants.

• Noooooo! My athlete's foot is returning. I hate itchy feet.

• Cue James Horner music: "Battle in the Mutara Nebula" Kirk: This is Admiral Kirk. We tried it once your way, Kerwin, are you game for a rematch? Neil, I'm laughing at the "superior intellect." Kerwin: Full impulse power! Trustees: No, sir! You have their tuition! You can have whatever... Kerwin: FULL POWER! DAMN YOU!

• Look, I love a spontaneous 2:30 party just as much as the next AU student, but I hate when I am forced to wake up and participate in one outside of MGC in the freezing cold because of a pulled fire alarm. Seriously guys, get a hobby or something.

• Am I the only straight single guy that the ladies of AU aren't looking for?

• I read these hoping that one day one of the cute rants will be about me

• Why can i never get the hot guy

• If you're going to go out, party, and drink, at least have the decency to make sure someone in your group is sober enough to STOP YOU FROM PULLING THE FIRE ALARM AT 2:40AM. This fire alarm crap has to stop.

• I have one spot on my inner thigh that will NOT stop itching. I am going freaking insane!

• Just as early industrial capitalism moved the focus of existence from being to having, post-industrial culture has moved that focus from having to appearing.

• @Anderson 6 South. I love the shower guy. I love taking a shower in the women's bathroom, and hearing him sing through the walls. Makes my shower every time.

• Don’t rag on the girl who has a twenty million dollar trust fund. She came on here sad because she can’t find a boyfriend, and that goes to show you that she’s got the same problems as the rest of us. It might seem nice to be that rich, but she’s proof that money doesn’t matter in the long run. She didn’t choose to have the money that she does, and she deserves our support, and nothing else. Solidarity, people.

• @straight guy- find me in Mcdowell ;)

• Gay Ranter - We're everywhere... look around.

• @anyone doing nanowrimo: YES! We have a thread on the forums. Go to the Washington DC region and it's the thread titled 'Hey you, at AU!' You are not alone (:

• @what do you mean fall?: Thank you so much for that reply, I really needed it. I'm trying my hardest to just let him go, but something keeps me holding on. But I will forget about him and find someone better. Thank you for making me smile :)

• Who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?

• i hate everyone at this school.

• If you hate this school so much, leave. We're all tired of your negativity.

• @"I really think you're cute, I'm just too nervous to actually talk to you…" Just talk to him/her. For real, it'll be fine.

• I'm falling in love with the girl sitting one table over from me in the library. All I know is what the back of her head looks like, but sometimes love works that way.

• Guy on Anderson 5N bridge: Yes, I can see you shirtless. No, it's not a problem. 6th floor Anderson bridge - do it up ;)

• I feel like the biggest idiot for liking you so much. I have no trouble finding cute single men at AU willing to get to know me/be in a relationship with me but for whatever reason, the first guy I can even give a second look to in well over a year, is you. (and i know you'll read this, you read these every night)

• "Limp by limp." Really?

• You're a cute brunette girl in a North Face jacket who was eating dinner with her friends in TDR on Saturday night. I was with my friends at a table in front of yours. You wouldn't stop staring at me. Talk to me next time you see me around, okay?

• Wedding Crashers is the prequel to Midnight in Paris.

• Who needs a social life when you've got Friends re-runs every night at 11?

• u suck

• I know I pretend like I never notice you, but I do. And I think about you all the time.

• I'm in love with you- this is not a drive by i i i ay

• It's november 4. Where the f r the nov 3 rants

• I thought I might try to date someone... but then I realized that no one is interested in me.

• Yo dat fine ginger on ATV iz da one wit them sideburnz who look happy all da time. Dat other ginger look like a fruit who use the n-word.

• I've taken to doing dangerous drugs in order to cope with being in an LDR for 3 years. The pain and loneliness are too much for me to take. But the thought of losing him is much worse. -stuck/scared

• Out of all the girls that I know here, none of the ones I like are interested in me at all. Seriously, where can I meet single girls? (not parties)

• Can there be a text-alert for when the Eagle Rants are posted? I just wanna know when...

• trust fund baby desperate for a boyfriend here. Thank you for all the nice replies. I'm sad and lonely without a boyfriend, but at least I go to a school full of amazing people like you guys. :)

• All the cute guys at AU are taken or gay? Lol. Um no. I think you meant to phrase it as: All the cute gay guys at AU are taken. *sigh* The struggle.

• guy who responded to my trust fund post who has no money but wants a girlfriend: You seem like a nice guy. I mentioned my trust fund on here because it's anonymous. I would never say it in person to a potential boyfriend because I would want him to like for me alone and not my money. I would only mention my trust fund later on in the relationship. But maybe we will meet on campus someday fall in love naturally. And then later discover that we had met on eagle rants before. I hope you find me. ;)

• I'm scared I won't make it to Christmas break without becoming a drug addict. I'm slipping. Help.

• Is it normal to want to kill yoursel after your first breakup (following a two year relationship)? I mean I wouldn't actually kill myself. But I keep having suicidal thoughts. I just want the pain to stop. :'(

• rangers who reply to other rangers and say nice things are th greatest. Good karma points for all of you who reply!!

• I'm jealous of all the girls from high school who are dropping out of college to have babies. I love college and everything. I just want a baby so bad!

• I wish we lived in the era where people didn't have sex until marriage. Then actually wanted to propose and get married. Why won't my bf propose!!!! He says he wants to get married eventually. What more does he want from me? What more can I give?!

• Latin girls are so sexy

• Editor please post the rants every day. There are people on here who need support and are hurting (students addicted to drugs, cutting themselves, etc) It's not just fun and games. Support from fellow ranters can really make or break a person's day and prevent a relapse. Please be more careful about not forgetting to post rants. Rants really do help lots of people. Thank you.

• Since when did we stop having Saturday rants? That's two Saturdays in a row. Time to get a competent editor who actually cares about rants. Editor, this is like the 10th time u have forgotten rants. Get over your narcissism and give the job to someone who actually cares enough to do it.

• I forgave the editor the first time he forgot to post rants. And the second one. And the third. And the fourth. This has gotten out of hand. Editor, stop embarrassing yourself and step down. You suck.

• I'm too miserable to stay with him and too in love wirh him to leave him. Help?

• I like how every single one of the "people you may know on twitter" emails I get are entirely made up of fake West Wing accounts.

• Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

• shout out to hot kevin - you are a fantastic kisser!

• The rant editor has really been slipping lately. I hope (s)he is ok.

• That awkward moment when you miss the shuttle on the weekends and can walk back from Tenley and beat the next one from even leaving campus....

• And I am back in the game.

• Get your s*** together editor.

• I love how its NOVEMBER 4TH AND THERE ARE STILL NO F'ING EAGLE RANTS.

• If you don't like semen in your mouth,find an alternative place for it. Problem solved

• Seriously, can there be a strike system or something for the editor to be replaced after not posting rants within a reasonable amount of time, multiple times?

• i was feeling so great the past two weeks, which is a huge change from my usual moody, depressed, frustrated state. but then today, on a day that is my birthday, i feel so sad beyond belief and reason.

• Oh hell... I really need a personal genie to get through all my work my tomorrow at 8:55...

• you suck editor!

• You've gotta form the corn, form, form the corn You've gotta form the corn, form, form the corn You've gotta shuck the corn, shuck, shuck the corn You've gotta shuck the corn, shuck, shuck the corn You've gotta pop the corn, pop, pop the corn You've gotta pop the corn, pop, pop the corn

• I'm tired of feeling lonely and depressed at this school. I really miss my friends but i have to be independent. Damn, no one ever talked about social life in college being hard :/

• Why are the November 3rd rants not up yet? ): I found out about these yesterday during the fire alarm, got addicted, and have now had them stripped away from me! I understand you have a life, editor, so take your time, but please, please, PLEASE post them soon, for the sake of my sanity!

• Applause for the great grades...WOW

• Two out of three toilets on the silent floor are out of commission, and I'm using the third one. That means I know exactly who comes in here to poop, since they just walk right out again. So far four people have had to poop and one person has had to pee. Scientific.
