This editor would like to apologize for completely forgetting to post Rants yesterday. Oops.
•Re: Z-Burger fries : I TOTALLY AGREE.
•Why does nobody play any George Strait here!?
•"Editor’s note: Do you currently write/photograph/work for The Eagle? Also, what happens when I’m ready to guess? If I guess wrong do I keep going or is that the end like in Clue?" You thought I had forgotten didn't you? Well, I have not. The answer to your question is no, I do not work for the Eagle. You have as many guesses as you want [Editor's note: Will you tell me who you are if I give up? Question: Are you a senior?]
•Dear Editor, Don't forget about me like I forgot about my ratings. Sincerely, Pan Am on your laptop
•How can an institution called "The American University," not have a McDonalds!? It's an honest question! [Editor’s note: We’re wondering the same thing …]
•re: clawedvice - get out now. happened to me and the longer i waited to break up with my lackluster bf, the more the poor dude got attached. plus, lying to someone about how you're in love with them gets old fast. do yourself a favor and find a mate who you're crazy about, it feels much better.
•the only good thing about the horrendous week ahead is that eagle rants are back!! yay thank you so much!
•There's nothing wrong with considering Tim McBride to be a public figure. He's SG President, after all. And besides, we all know he's gonna end up being a Congressman one day, and then he really will be a public figure! P.S. He was even mentioned on a Wikipedia page. Go look up "Young Democrats Movement."
•Over the break I wanted to rant about the lack of Eagle Rants. Signed, An Eagle Rant Addict
•I feel like I have no sex drive. When I'm making out with my boyfriend (and my past bfs), I could just as easily be writing a paper. Anyone else have this problem? Any tips/advice?
•To the professor who used to be a journalist: If you're referring to more than one thing, use "are" instead of "is". Although it is hilarious when you bring up skype in class and your friends ask if there are any hot girls in the class.
•No, no, no, no, NO! Look at that, NO!
•@"men's initiative" maybe when you become the member of a marginalized group that has been historically oppressed, you can get funding. women's groups attempt to raise women to be equal with men (not to bring men down). and what issues would a men's initiative even cover?
•@"i don't even go to this school, i just have a lot of feelings." Me tooooo!
•You have no idea how wonderful you have it at AU. The administration from every department of student life goes above and beyond to make sure they are getting student feedback and making improvements consistent with what students want. I wish my state school graduate school tried even 1/10 as hard to make its students happy. Enjoy it while you can AU students!
•I aspire to one day be an Eagle Rants editor. What must I do to get there? [Editor’s note: Join The Eagle.]
•Dear people complaining about grammar corrections: So long as students at this elite college continue to speak like they never passed 3rd grade, I will continue to correct their grammar. It is in their interest as well as everyone's interest to know how to speak.
•Why is there cranberry juice and mango juice but no cranberry mango juice? grrr
•Sometimes I wish I was pregnant so I would have a valid excuse to end all this stress and just watch movies and read leisurely all day.
•I support the grammar correcting ranter. You wouldn't want to get turned away from a job because in your interview you sounded uneducated. Say thank you, and stop complaining. And if it bothers you that much, maybe put some effort into learning your own native language and then you won’t have anyone correcting you.
•I don't get why the singers dislike pumped up kicks so much that they want to shoot those wearing them. Can anyone explain this?
•I correct grammar because it demeans the value of my own education to have my fellow schoolmates going around sounding like trailer trash. But I’ll try to be nicer about it when I correct people and not hurt anyone’s tender “feelings”.
•I would have give up all of my Christmas presents for daily Eagle Rants over break. SO GLAD RANTS ARE BACK!!!!
•You know you eat unhealthy food when you check the expiration date of a refrigerated food item and it doesn't expire for 3 more years. Preservatives much?
•I hate when professors get all up in your face like they are performing for theater scouts. You are trying to educate, not audition for America's got talent. Take it down a notch.
•So i was playing around with my computer in class trying to change my desktop background picture to one of my bf and me at a recent party. I ended up accidentally temporarily posting a pic of his penis. Sorry to anyone who saw. Not that he has an unattractive penis. but ya...
•Does anyone else read Dear Prudence? I just discovered this yesterday. It makes me feel SOOOO much better about my dysfunctional family to hear about other people's screwed up lives.
•So the incubator has study abroad blogs and cooking blogs? Sounds cool, but when do we get a sex advice blog?!?! [Editor’s note: When someone applies to write it.]
•The Library of Congress? Holy crap, now I've gotta get a date.
•Do you guys know that deputy of events chick? She's always in MGC 262 and I'm so afraid to talk to her. SG girls are so0o0o0 intimidating... help!
•Has anyone seen the Lambda Lambda table in MGC?! I want to rush!!
•I keep having nightmares about how cruel my mother was to me growing up, but I don't have any time to go to the counseling center. What can I do to get over it?
•Some roommates really suck and it's worse when there are two
•Why can't we be a bit more like the ancient Greeks? I would totally go to the gym if there were naked girls there.
•And together we shall collectively groan as we figure out who is *that* person in our classes who never shuts up and gives non-insightful opinions.
•WHAT BOOKS DO I NEED TO BUY PROFESSORS??? I DONT CARE WHICH BOOKS I HAVE TO READ JUST WHICH ONES I HAVE TO BUY IS IT THAT HARD!!!?????
•I love the new Pur water filter ads because it taught me that water sounds like Zach Braff.
•Blackboard- stop sending me notifications about being enrolled in a class before I report you for spam!
•I miss McDonalds. Not because I wanted a burger every day but because I really liked their salads. Heads up AU! If McDonalds has better salads than the eagle's nest and tavern you know you have a problem.
•All we do is fight. The hookups were nice but I'm sorry, I can't deal with your clinging any longer. Should have listened to my gut when you said you were an only child...
•I find it surprising that so many AU girls say it's impossible to find a boyfriend here. Maybe it's because I'm in a relationship and people tend to want what they can't have, but I've had 4 nice guys try to win me over since the fall. They're out there, don't give up hope!
•You know what's a fun word? Panties.
•wasted my entire first semester of college on a guy. time to make regrets, round two
•@Person who wants venison on the menu - I FEEL YOUR TROUBLES!!! That's what we eat at home all winter and it's sad not to have it here too... Rather then having a restaurant that serves it around her it'd be so nice if TDR could... but it's TDR so it won't/
•You were a nice kid, it was nice to walk and talk. But I don't want a boyfriend now, you don't know what I'm going through, and all I need is someone who's not going to try and flirt when I just want to have a friendly chat once in awhile. So thanks but no thanks.
•Eagle Rants, it's 10pm you haven't post today!! I have lots of reading assignments and I miss you <3
•Every noise you make grates on my nerves. I bet if I sat close enough, I could even hear you blink. Why are you so noisy? Like. How is it even possible? Please. Just take a sudafed and blow your nose. And stop talking. Please.
•Are you, like, ethically opposed to washing your hands after you use the bathroom? The sink is RIGHT IN FRONT of you in there! It's really hard to miss! Waahhhh
•Just to update you all from my horrendous roommate experience this fall abroad, I am happily back in the US at AU without her, and I miss my abroad program and friends dearly. I do not miss where I lived or who I lived with, but I do miss being abroad. But I am also so happy to be back at AU!!!!
