Eagle Rants Dec. 9

•Sex with someone I actually like is so much better than all the hookups I've had since starting college. Why did I ever settle for less?

•I am 100% positive I have the worst roommate ever. She's a slob, her dirty laundry takes over my side, she's always talking badly about everyone, and she's on a full ride here yet sleeps through half of her classes. There's more but if I kept going I don't think it'd ever end. -Another semester? Shoot me.

•i know a lot of people complain about leggings and uggs, but its actually one of the best parts of winter. provided that the women wearing them are below the weight limit

•are there any other country day school kids here?

•Eagle Rants Editor, How many more days of daily Eagle Rants can we expect before winter break comes (and my daily dose of happiness that is Eagle Rants ends and the apocalypse is upon us)? [Editor’s note: We’ll continue Rants through next Friday, Dec. 16.]

•I can't stand the 85%! If you're too dumb to understand this, then I can see why you're not in the 15%.

•Will offer sexual favors for winter break daily Eagle Rants. [Editor’s note: Sorry, but these editors will be out of the country, working, etc. Rants will resume when classes start Jan. 17.]

•Global Scholars put SIS in sissy!

•Just because you graduate in three years, does not mean your better... #globalscholarssuck

•re: mgc women's toilets-- use the ones on the second floor near the AmWord office; there's never anybody in there.

•Does anyone know what other schools besides AU have rants? (PS The Eagle should do a story on this.) [Editor’s note: But that would be us doing a story on ourselves …]

•@AU leave of absence-- good luck!

•Gorgeous sunset today! Anybody else looking?

•Everyone who reads these rants and cares at all about their GPA needs to take a moment and READ THE EMAIL NEIL KERWIN SENT OUT. No more Gen. Ed. P/F? Changes in the weighting of the A-F scale? AU, I know you are upset that so many of your students have a high GPA and that somehow makes you look easy, but maybe it's just that students here CARE and ACTUALLY DO THEIR WORK. Don't punish us for doing well.

•@ElevenDaysLeftAbroad: no problem. Hang in there... we can't wait to have you back at AU!

•LET IT BE KNOWN THAT I HAVE A CRUSH ON ALL AWKWARD METALHEADS FOREVER! BRING THEM TO ME!

•Paper/studying soundtrack favorite: Bastion. Look it up, you'll be glad you did!

•"London > AU. I don't want to come back." Then don't come back. I did and now I'm having to apply to UK grad schools from here which is much more of a pain than applying from a UK uni.

•@Person who liked the troll face in leonard: i am the artist of the troll face. thank you for the compliment. let's be friends!

•"@interest in nat'l politics and not spa: YES! i'm SIS but my second love... ok third love... is national politics. but it's real close to my second one (russian) smile" @the person who replied to this post, your interests are exactly like mine, in the exact same order!

•Prepare to get fired. Your job is as good as mine.

•Dear hipsters girls in the study lounge, this is the study lounge, not the group work lounge. shut up, you're loud and annoying. sincerely, i actually have a paper to write

•I am SO grateful my parents could afford to send me here/to college in general without my having to take out loans so that I don't have to start my life out over 100k in debt. I can't imagine that daunting prospect. AND I HOPE YOU ALL GET GOOD JOBS TO MAKE IT NOT SO BAD!

•Hey next door neighbors, normally I don't care when you sing the same song on repeat. Actually, I find it funny in a kind of ridiculous way. But it's getting a little out of hand, especially during finals preparation.

•You're tacky and I hate you.

•The last time we went out, you blew it. I'm not even sure what we were, but whatever it was, it's over. Life's too short to deal with BS, so I'm calling it off for both our sakes.

•I'm a good looking guy who works out. But I'm an introvert. Would it kill a girl to talk to me instead of me having to start everything?

•First off, it's a tampon RESOLUTION. Secondly, I'm still here! Sorry my legislation naming isn't very good I'm working on it. What do you want next, the condom directive????

•@ Poll Question: I've currently been jamming out to Nightwish's new album for my essays. It's for a movie, so I guess that counts as a soundtrack?

•@OccupyAU Ranter, where can I get more info?? I feel like a minority on this campus for believing in the Occupy movement! But I'm nervous to join without knowing anyone either, ugh.

•You are rushing me. I can't do this anymore.

•@"I'll go first - LOTR Return of the King" Please marry me.

•Love getting spammed on Blackboard!!

•I really want a girl to "convert" me. Is that too much of a fantasy not enough reality? -Patiently Waiting Girl

•@Why is AU ranked so low? US News and World Reports includes sports and grad schools when calculating rankings. So because we have no football team or medschool there's a certain threshold we will never be able to cross.

•Creepy guy watching porn on the LIBRARY computers, at 4 in the morning, during Finals Week, I SEE YOU. Are you seriously doing this in public, in full view from the printer? Seriously? Get a life, and if you can't stop watching, at least be a little more secretive so I don't have to witness it.

•I'm not ashamed- I like curvy women.

•dear eligible, pretty, hungry, heterosexual upperclassmen, i have like 50 meal swipes left. make my dreams come true. -lonely, awkwardly tall, meal-planned froshling

•I just noticed your existence because we're apparently facebook friends. Also, you're hot.

•Gossip Gossip Gossip...Oh AU...it never gets old does it.

•@Person interested in Russian/national politics: perhaps we'll run into each other at a future AU politics event!

•Dear editor, You have by the end of the school year to figure out who this is. You can ask me one question every day until the end of the year [Editor’s note: Uhhh, have we met before?]

•Nick Rangos almost killed himself by not going to the health center for his pneumonia... I hope he gets better soon!

•I love you, but I'm scared you are going to get bored of me. That's why I cut off our phone conversations after an hour every night. I don't have anything more to say. I'm not as interesting as you.

•my TA is sexy as all hell. mmmmmhmmmmmm

•@Why is AU 82: WONK. F***ING WONK.

•@11days abroad: You are welcome. Enjoy your last days abroad, and have a safe trip home. :)

•@Soundtrack Poll: Either Out of Africa or A Beautiful Mind.

•@MGC toilet: I noticed that too! WTF?

•Why on earth would they change how the Dean's List works?

•Dear McDowell , thanks for turning off the water right before finals! Sincerely, I hope u don't mind smelly college students.

•i'm not gonna lie...i'm still kinda mad at you guys for the December 7th rants. 10:45 PM?! Come on, you guys are better than that.

•I've spent my entire macro class reading these rants. Broder, I hope you fall into an abyss and never return.

•The Eagle: apologizing and justifying Neil Kerwin's overcompensation since 2009!

•UNH HAS PUPPIES IN THEIR LIBRARY, WHY DON'T WE?!

Rant here!
