Eagle Rants: Feb. 26, 2013

•I am B.M. I troll CAUS for the lulz.

•Sarah McBride is smoking hot.

•The professor makes an offhand crack about how much Americans love the word "freedom," and some Iranian kid snickers like he's at a yacht club. Listen, s***bag, how about you spend a year in your own country and then come back here and laugh at ours? You obviously have a problem with the United States, but we're doing a lot better than most of the world.

•Stop laughing. No one likes you, you have no friends, and you aren't even good looking.

•Does somebody want to be my cuddle buddy? I haven't cuddled in years and I think it's causing me to spiral into depression...

•Is it strange that when I really like a guy I get an overwhelming desire to rest my head on his shoulder or leg and it's so powerful that I actually have to restrain myself from doing it quite consciously. You'd think it'd be kissing or hugging... but nope, I have to keep my head from resting on them.

•Am I still the "other woman" if the guy is married, but doesn't have kids? What if he is just engaged?

•We studied together Sunday in Kogod for an exam on monday. You are so attractive! Your not on my team, and I don't think your on my team but who knows... Maybe your a little curious? Hopefully this weekend we'll study together again ;p

•The BOE members who got death threats DID go to the police, but the university likes to interfere in these matters to save face. Trust me, it's no secret that the senate is a bunch of geeky white boys playing dress up.

•Boy, we could be fooling around, but nope, you're chatting about with your friends. :/

•Sophomore Sig Chi pledge: I've seen you around the dorm and I think your awkwardness is endearing. What's your deal?

•I'd like to point out... angels are awesome. -Wild A

•Thanks comrade, but I was going for Mikhail Bakunin, not Karl Marx.

•That awkward moment when someone thinks you wrote a particular Eagle rant, when you actually didn't...

•Another day, another reason to submit a rant complaining about Eaglesecure. [Editor's Note: If a rant is submitted and Eaglesecure goes down, was it ever ranted?]

•@ gorgeous with a boyfriend: details.

•@That was a really sweet message, I hope she appreciates it: Thanks! I don't think she ever responded. No worries, guess it wasn't meant to be!

•Seems to me that if students want to get rid of the Student Government, we shouldn't have to go through the bureaucracy of the Student Government and hold an election overseen by the Student Government if the very reason for our problems IS the Student Government.

•So what's left for CAUS to do now that the university budget is done with for the next two years?

•So apparently Shakespeare is being re-enacted through Eagle Rants. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. [Editor's Note: "What's done is done."]

•@I know it's a few days later, but more info (about me liking an older man) - He goes to the gym every day and he has gorgeous eyes.

•I understand it's that time of the semester but to the guy talking to himself in the lounge, you're scaring me.

•No sleep til..... May!

•I hooked up with your friend at that thing last weekend, please ignore that I really wanted you instead..

•@"You're white, upper middle class, and go to a private university. You are not oppressed, so stop pretending like you are. Just stop." I'm black, lower class, and paying for college on grants and student loans. I don't feel like I'm oppressed, but I would like a voice.

•@Beautiful girls in my Anthro class, why are you SO gorgeous?! - which anthro class are you in?

•@People at this school who talk about "AU goggles" are crazy. I think the women here are gorgeous. - it's used more commonly for men...meaning since there is a 60% to 40% ratio of women to men, and considering the fact that half of the 40% of men are gay, that doesn't leave much option for women here on campus, hence the "AU goggles"

•@ I'm resigned to the fact that our conversations will consist of you looking at me wide eyed in some form or another, me saying Hi and thats it. But at least I get to see your hot face so i'm ok with this - make a move! start up a conversation

•Editor, please don't forget to post the Eagle Rants today. Thank you :) [Editor's Note: Whaaa? Me forget Eagle Rants? Never! :P ]

•@SS crush--more info.

•Leggings are not pants. Seriously, no one wants to see your butt in that much detail.

•I would say that AU needs a public service project wherein it ensures all students look in their mirrors before leaving their domociles, but then someone who doesn't even attend class at main campus would probably write an inflammatory editorial calling me a bunch of words that end in -ist. I fully admit that I am a bad fashion-ist. I am predjudiced against people with no fashion sense.

•So, Inauguration Day was five weeks ago. Why is AU still showing that weird Inauguration video on all of the campus TV screens?

•i hate how long it takes for au computers to boot up. it's like the 1990s here!

•I think you were trying to flirt with me in class today. I'm not good at being able to tell that kind of stuff, though, so I'm not sure. But if you were, then I hope my response was good enough to be considered a flirtback.. because you're really cute. And nice. So if you do it again I'll do better.

•I prefer to think of it as a struggle snuggle

•F*** the lottery system. I turned in my housing agreement the day it came out while other b****** turned it in the day it was due and THEY get to live in Cassell. No. No. Not fair.

•to the guy who gave the two little kids the rest of the money they needed to buy their candy at the bookstore last night - thank you. you're one of the good ones.

•I've never been kissed because I'm scared I'll do it wrong. And that's because I've never been kissed. It's circular. So can some guy just grab me kiss me so I can get this over with? Preferably one of two guys (or both) in my TF morning class?

•I think I may be the only female here who desperately wants to be friend-zoned by every guy she meets. (And no, it's not because I'm attracted to women. Just to clarify).

•@"Cause we stoopid. We no like bill to not hit pretty lady. what if pretty lady al Quida? Wat if pretty lady is Obama? wat if pretty lady Benghazi? we need to hit pretty ladys." Man, epic delivery. It's almost as if nobody watched that Onion clip.

•I don't always do Eagle Rants. But when I do, I use worn out cliches that should have been abandoned a long time ago. Stay ranty, my friends.

•When will AU put up the course listings for Fall 2013? Registration starts in less than a month and some of us like to plan ahead.


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.
