Eagle Rants Dec. 14

•I fell asleep during my reflections of american society on stage and screen final and when I woke up "The Olympic Games" was written in the middle of my essay on feminism. .. That's my topic for my other final today

•You give good back rubs at about 4am

•@come to my window, come to mine? i'll be home from europe soon

•Thank you AUSG for the free Panarea!

•"Editor’s note: This editor is slightly afraid. Threats = scary. Are you a girl?" No [Editor’s note: Have we known each other for more than six months?]

•@I am the man who arranges the blocks, it would really make my day if you were taking a Russian History exam.

•Boy: We're hanging out today. I think you should make a move. Or at least ask me out. So that I don't feel like I'm wasting my time with you. And I'll continue doing the dirty with other men.

•We've started hooking up. And I like you:) (if it isnt obvious) but I don't know if you just want to hook up or if you are actually interested in more of me than just that. Let me know or lets get dinner or lets start banging.

•I like this guy but I probably shouldn't. I don't ever allow myself to like someone, so that I don't get hurt. But for some reason I like him. And my friends don't even like him. What gives?! THISNEEDSTOSTOP

•I do not understand why you people find it necessary to hang out right outside your rooms to talk and listen to music... DURING FINALS WEEK.

•Help! Is it socially acceptable to ask a girl to the Foudners Day ball even though tickets are free?? Love, a socially-uncertain Eagle

•@Touched... for the never first time.... Yes, I feel your pain! I'm completely ready & willing but can't find a guy who even asks me on a date and isn't ridiculously awkward/we have nothing in common. Don't know why I'm having so much trouble!?

•"Why do you keep asking me questions when it's so clear that I'M WRITING SOMETHING? Jesus man it isn't hard to tell that I am focusing on something else." Sorry man, I was just trying to make light conversation. :S

•Even when my internship promises me an incredible job to do during a big event that it holds, this and that happens and it turns out that I spend six hours here doing NOTHING. Again. Man, I can't wait to quit this internship.

•@"Anderson 3 North is the most floorcestual floor on campus." I think we all know who the main culprit is here.

•You're the kind of guy that could break my heart in an instant, it's probably why I'm so attracted to you.

•@"Anywayy, financial aid & student loans #forthewin! Feel proud." Yayyyyy! I think I love you.(in a totally platonic non creepy way)

•@HIMYM ranters: I love you all.

•@"Do you seriously not notice all of the smoker poles around campus that are designed for you to put your used cigarettes in?" - Those poles move around everyday. Also, they catch on fire too - I've seen it happen twice this semester alone.

•someone needs to call the whambulance about all the complaining I keep hearing about finals. Pull and Anderson3N and get it done. #cats

•"Aren't we past the age where the silent treatment is considered appropriate? Real mature." I used the silent treatment once because I was pissed at you. Get over yourself.

•If you're a virgin and wish you weren't, clap your hands. *Clap Clap*

•"i peed in the drinking fountain on 4th floor centennial" I've wanted to do this for so long. Thanks for having the balls to do it. I love you.

•"Our eyes met and you smiled at me like you knew me." I know this isn't me, but I had a similar encounter at the library last night. It made me happy for a little bit.

•@Other HIYMM fan. So down. Let's suit up and get to it.

•woof.

•WUAI NAWT 2012

•@Legen....dary: That was awesome. I approve.

•In...

•credible...

•This is me trying not to try to hard to spend time with you because there's something about you that is just so damn intriguing...

•We're already in trouble with our friends from that Saturday night. Let's just run with it.

•Just so you know...it's NOT that common, it DOESN'T happen to every guy, and it IS a big deal!!!

•I'm majorly crushing on the honors kid who hates global scholars.

•I'm sorry that I ruined your lives. And crammed 11 cookies in the VCR.

•@Anderson 3 North is the most floorcestual floor on campus. - would you like a chart?

•@NotPackersFan: NEVER EVER. PACK TILL THE END! (You'd better not be a Bears or Vikings fan. You might find your room covered in indelible green-and-gold.)

•@Parents not paying for school - You are not the only one. It's rough sometimes... keep at it! and @Honestly Curious, I'm not the original Ranter but sometimes, people's parents can't afford everything for their kids and would rather their kids be responsible and independent instead of the parents getting mired in more debt to help their kids out.

•@honestly curious: If my parents could pay for my education, they would. But unfortunately they can't afford to do so. I used to get mad at this but I have come to terms with it. I'm not going to lie, it does suck doing this all alone.

•@Suitor in Renaissance and Revolutions: When do you have this class? There is more than one section, but I'm blonde and in the TF 10:20 section...

•Professor-- not allowing us to use "I" in our blog posts is ridiculous and makes my sentences convoluted and passive. But alright, if you want my writing to be harder to understand, that's cool.

•To the guy in my class who showed up on my floor and asked me out after introducing himself to me for the first time: Sorry I offered to hook you up with single girls after I turned you down. I'm not used to getting asked out, and I'm a really awkward person. You were just so nice about it that I want you to be happy with someone who doesn't already have a boyfriend!

•well, I found your ex-girlfriend online, and she is goddamn beautiful. my chances = nill.

•@the lovely lady from ando3 you had better not be talking about letts 3N.BECAUSE LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE TIME WHEN YOU USED OUR LAUNDRY. WHEN IT WAS BROKEN AND THE DRIER LEGITIMATELY SCREAMED WHEN YOU USED IT. AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY. maybe if certain members of your floor were not so rude we would all still have free laundry #lettsnotdothis ;/

•What pisses me off most about this new Gen-Ed/Grade change is that you can't get out of College Writing no matter what. I got a 3 on AP English and I still learned NOTHING in College Writing.

•@TurquoiseJeepRanter: You're awesome and we should hang out. Did I mention I like to dance?

•@Hughes mice problem: Our floor in Anderson had it bad, too. My roommate and I did was keep sending 2Fix Reports requesting more traps or to have the AC vent looked at. After our third mouse, they finally opened up our vent and filled the hole with foam. We haven't had mice since. Just make sure to send the AC vent request separate from a rodent report, or else they might not do it.

•I don't want to work, I just want to bang on the drum all day. I don't want to work, I just want to bang all these girls all day! I can't hear you!

•That awkward moment when the person you posted about on like-a-little answers with your name....

•@"Anderson 3 North is the most floorcestual floor on campus." Still? I'm so proud!!

•ewww. you disgust me. what a backstabber.

•I wish there was a way for D&D players to find one another. Nerds live in the closet at AU

•Stop pacing outside my room while you're on the phone! I can hear your entire conversation and I"m trying to study!

•You wanna be on top?

•That awesome feeling during finals week when you realize you're not pregnant, announce it to the whole room and everyone claps and cheers.

•ugh, can we please get some better coffee on campus at night?? I can't stand the bitterly disgusting starbucks monopoly we have! Why can't we have some good quality coffee late at night?!? It is finals week...

•WOW TDR. Way to serve the ONE meat that puts people to sleep during finals week! Turkey = tryptophan = SABOTAGE.

•I think your limp is adorable. I hope you have a great vacation.

•to the biddies on anderson 5 north...STOP RUNNING AND SCREAMING DOWN THE HALL! sincerely, the rest of your floor

•I listen to ska!

•to the nice girl whose friend request i accepted...sorry to now defriend you, but your doing the duck face in your profile picture

•All I want for Christmas is to be able to come back for next semester. It's going to take a miracle... but I really love this place. :( So I've been praying, working, and hoping... will that be enough? Sometimes I wish Santa was real.

•I won't eat until you love me.

•I saw you on the shuttle and you didn't recognize me, and I'm not sure whether to be more relieved or pissed.

•@"Why didn’t they pay (or help you pay)? Are you mad at them for not paying? – honestly curious" - I'm not the original author, but as shocking as this might be, not all families have money for college. So it's not about why they "didn't" or why they won't "help", it's simply because some can't.

•That awkward moment when you meet your soul mate and he already has his wife to be going on six years.

•@silent treatment: It's finals week. I know I've given more than one person the accidental silent treatment due to mental exhaustion. Try talking to them next time.

•You could totally keep pretending to be pregnant so that you don't come back next semester... that would be great.

•I am tired of being quiet ALL day because you sleep during hours when most other people are awake and being productive. Waking up at 7 pm and complaining when I want to sleep at midnight is not okay.

•Silently judging you about your lack of productivity.

•@"You're the kind of guy that could break my heart in an instant." It's you're the kind of guy WHO, not guy THAT. DID YOU NOT GO TO F-ING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL?!

•Guys and their mouths. They need to keep them shut.

•To everyone who uses eaglerants as a place to profess their love: You are never going to get with the love of your life this way. Get a backbone and talk to him or her. Nobody wants to hear about how this other person "makes you melt" or "makes you trip over your toungue".

•ando3south. obviously. #winning

•Campers in MW3 deserve the worst and most horrendous death possible, along with the beneficiaries of host-advantage

•Why hasn't anyone ranted yet about the LOTR signs posted around campus?! come on, make my day!

•i <3 hughes biddies

•Hahah there is no way this Nick Rangos fangirl is real.

•Where are the males who want to chill? Why does every boy I meet need to chase my tail? I just want some homies.

•@nice eyebrows are sexy, yesssss.

•Do you know what being a player really means? You have low self-esteem/self-worth so you try to make up for it by having lots of sex. You use sexuality to try to feel good about yourself. And I feel sad for you, because underneath all that crap, there's a good person that just wants to be loved.

•I'm not mean, you're just too freaking nice... to everyone! Even the people you can't stand! Sorry hypocrisy wasn't encouraged in my household and I'm perfectly comfortable telling people why I don't like them or why I'm fine with not being their best friend.

•@person who got their keys stolen: THAT SOUNDS AWFUL. and it is just plain rude considering the thief derives no real benefit from stealing your KEYS- how would they ever find out which car or apartment was yours?

•Um I know it's finals and everything, but that is no excuse for my long distance boyfriend to go 4 days without texting or calling me. Am I overreacting or is this a legitimate reason to be very upset with him?

•I'm going to miss Eagle Rants SOOOO much over break. Has anyone found any other schools that offer rants?!

Rant here!
