• Best brand of yoga pants that don't stretch out like crazy after wearing them a few times? So many girls at JFC have such perfectly fitted pants but I can't seem to find any for myself.
• @all the people you know are miserable and transferring: Hmm all the people I know love AU. Maybe get new friends. AU consistently ranks on Princeton Reviews Happiet colleges list. Sounds like a you problem.
• @belly button: I'm really curious, how do you use tour belly button to let someone know you like them?
• I have a flight layover in Denver on the way home. Now that pot is legal in Colorado, will they be selling it at the airport? I hope so. Never tried it and really want to...
• @boyfriend treats you like a wife: This happens to everyone. Honeymoon stage passionate love only lasts for the first year. It is followed by familial compassionate love (what you are describing). I recommend the books "Why We Love" by Helen Fischer and "The Truth About Love" by Patricia Love.
• @bf checking out other girls: I check out other guys in front of my bf because I like watching him get jealous. It helps me affirm that he still loves me. Yes, I know I'm insecure. Lots of family issues growing up. I'm guessing your bf just wants to be reminded that you still love him because deep down he is insecure. Have you told him how much it hurts you?
• True life the people who work at Capital one are the friendliest human beings on earth
• I wish okcupid would let you search by college rather than just by city. I'm too lazy to have a relationship with a GW boy, but I keep getting GW boys as my matches. Why are more AU guys not on okcupid? Or maybe they are, they are just searching for other guys and therefore aren't showing up on my matches. Ahh.
• @treated like a wife: How long have you been together? Thy is totally normal after 9 to 12 months. Even faster if you are living together. The "high" of love at the beginning is nature's way of getting you to reproduce. It's a flood of dopamine to your brain. But it can't go on forever. You only have so much dopamine in your brain. And if you stayed in te once sauce stage of love, you would never get anything done in life
• Is Eagle rants ever going to create a spin off for all the "I still love you, come back" rants that seem to be infiltrating rants like a virus?
• How long is a normal time for a guy to be mad at his gf after a fight? (and during finals time) [Editor’s Note: My mom always said to never go to sleep angry or you’ll have bad dreams, so I would say until the next time you sleep.]
• No one understands me but you. I don't know what I would do without you. Please don't leave.
• I've always identified as straight as I've always been sexually and emotionally attracted to guys, but in the past few years I've been really aroused by women...I'm still into guys and never have crushes on girls, since I've never been able to connect emotionally in a way that was more than friends. Am I bisexual? I'm not concerned or anything with labels. I'm just curious as to how people would identify me.
• There's a guy in my 8:55 anthro class who's super obnoxious and kind of nerdy...who I think is totally sexy. Your forearms do it in for me. I'll miss you, blonde guy with glasses.
• @ "I’ll start the bidding at 61 pages not including works cited. I’m sure people can top that." I wrote two books. Both 600 pages, due out in February called "No Fat Chicks Allowed in TDR" and "Wrinkly Balls: Now With Extra Alan Arkin."
• @"TO THE PEOPLE WHO RANT ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY MISS SOMEONE, HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT" HOW CAN WE EVER KNOW WHAT KIND OF WHIRLWIND OF EMOTION THIS FINE GENTLERANTER IS TRYING TO EXPRESS WITHOUT THE PUNCTUATION?
• I'm so lonely, but I'm grateful. My friend group threw me under the bus and now I pretty much have no one here, but I'm still happy. I've always been afraid of losing everyone, and now I see the truth - loneliness isn't the worst thing that could happen to a person, and it's better than sticking with people who make you feel like the worst version of yourself. You start seeing the great things in life.
• @“Since when has ‘being white’ made somebody unable to speak up about diversity?" So you're saying that only Caucasians are privileged, but that's a wild assumption. 'Check your privilege' applies to us all; we are all attending a private university, so don't think that my skin color gives me any advantage over anybody else here. In fact, it inhibits me- for example, I can't form a White Student Alliance to discuss diversity issues, or a 'Men's Initiative' and get school funding.
• @ "Sorry, but the people who are putting on ‘shopping while black’ are really just being racists to white people" ... you realize that racism toward white people doesn't exist, right? Racism requires a power structure that other races in the US don't have access to. Prejudice toward white people exists, but omg if I never heat the phrase "racist toward white people" again it will be TOO SOON.
• I'm like 87% sure that my professor is actually setting me up to fail his final. We have a final paper and he is giving me different instructions than he gave other people in our class...
• Where can you go find all the old eagle rants?
• Either the girls staring at me think I'm handsome or my penis is hanging out of my pants and some stray cats latched on to it for warmth.
• God, I always thought people had at least a glimmer of personality until I met you. At first I was so interested since we share the same interests, but you're the most boring person I've ever met. I've gone out of my way to be quirky and weird and I know you think it's all hilarious. SO WHY DON'T YOU DO ANYTHING CLEVER. Sigh. I need an interesting guy.
• I feel like you smile bigger when you see me :) which makes my heart literally skip a beat. I can't wait to get back from break so I can see you again and make sure I'm right about this.
• Whooppps that I think I like you but what am i so afraid of rant was a joke... Meant to be sung to the tune of that David Cassidy song "I think I love you". Reread the rant, lol, and then carry on with your day
• The Eagle editor is hot, I don't know if you guys have seen him in action but ohmygod what a cutie
• I foud where all the attractive guys at AU have been hiding, but if I told you all I'd have to kill you soo
• @“hoo-ha is actually the worst euphemism for vagina"--"vagina" is a euphemism itself. It's just Latin for "sheath (of a sword)". And "penis" just means "little tail". And now you know; and knowing is half the battle.
• It's good to know that people will still get As by hooking up with their professors. Stay classy folks!
• Here's the thing, "I don't want to ruin the friendship" is a terrible reason to turn down someone who asked you out. My working up the courage to ask you out destroyed our friendship. At that instant, we're not friends anymore, and our relationship can take two possible paths: 1) you say yes and our relationship becomes deeper or 2) you say no and our relationship takes a major step backwards that can take just as long to repair as if we were dating and broke up. I already made my choice, now it's your turn.
• Never in my wildest dreams, never in all my preconceived happy notions of it, did I ever think that college would be this lonely.
• @"Alright eaglerants lets see who has the best claim to complaining about their finals." I may not have you beat at word count, but I have to write 24 pages AND work two 9-hour overnight shifts doing heavy manual labor. Does that count?
• I'm seriously so sick of everyone complaining about finals. We all have to study and write papers and none of us are getting any sleep. Your negativity is only making everyone else pissed so stfu!
• I had sex (very LOUD sex) while my roommate was in the room and I'm not even going to pretend that I'm sorry because in a few days I'll never see her again and the sex was amazing. thanks, chief
• @person who responded to my remarks on why I don't go clubbing, thank you, very good to know there are other introverts at this school
• @IHOP idea. YES, YES YES YES, YYYYYYEEEEEEESSSS! Who wouldn't want access to pancakes 24/7?
• All Chinese people look alike.
• Sara Bareilles--Winter Song. So beautiful!
• @ So, I’m a gay girl, but have no idea where to meet other gay girls/lesbians -- you should definitely go to qwac events next year! there are a lot of gay ladies there to meet to be friends with (and then to later possibly date)
• good lord, y'all ranters need to get your sick-ass slut-shaming under control. when you try to instill puritanical bullshit on someone else, it ultimately reflects poorly on you. you are the one who comes off like an idiot for thinking that you know better about how to conduct someone else's sex/love life, and for thinking sexual behavior is one size fits all.
• I notice a lot of rants about ROTC guys, have you guys thought of introducing yourselves? Most of them dont bite, unless you are into that.
• I think my bf is friend zoning me..
• It's not what you think, just one more little bet, Just another cigarette, just one more drink.
• I'm digging my own grave
• jesus the only thing cool going on in eagle rants right now is that dude hooking up with his hot professor. everything else is terrible, racist, misogynistic, awkwardly immature and ignant.
• “Sorry, but the people who are putting on ‘shopping while black’ are really just being racists to white people." first, what event are you referencing? second, is this a f*cking joke? the idea of SWB draws ATTENTION TO EXISTING RACISM AGAINST BLACK AMERICANS IN THE US. so no, it's really not racist to point out societal inequities and racial profiling, it's progressive. also, the entire AU campus is the white student alliance so you good on that one. #BYE.
• Rants Editor, please tell me how you deal with monitoring this much terribleness on a daily basis. [Editor’s Note: I have a very robust superiority complex.]
• My stress ball just exploded all over a library computer. Finals, doing great.
• @giddy over bf: made me melt!
