•I just transferred here and don't know anyone :( Any advice on helping me feel welcome here; because I have the urge to withdraw at this point and go back home...
•Worst batch of Eagle Rants I've ever seen
•@ "So I've been hitting the gym the whole school year..." Same here, but now a ton of macho-wannabe guys and tone-myth-believer girls are swarming the free weights and the mats up front. If you want to gain strength, then fine. If you're going to just listen to your iPod and lounge on the benches, then go back to your dorm room instead.
•Dear errbody with all them Founder's Day questions, The Founder's Day Ball is AU's annual ball celebrating the founding of the school. There isn't a strict dress code, so let's just get sEmI kLaSsY!!! There will probably be a wide variety of dresses and suits so don't sweat it. All students are welcome to come! It isn't just seniors or anything like that and it will be very mixed. YAY.
•Dear errbody with even more Founder’s Day questions, AND TICKETS ARE FREE. DID YOU HEAR THAT? TICKETS ARE FREE. EL TICKETOS ES COMPLIMENTAROS, MUCHACHOS. Though everyone is welcome, we do have to have a cap on attendance, so make sure you reserve your ticket on Eventbrite and pick it up on time! And the link wasn't actually faulty, it just isn't active until February 1st. YAY.
•I love my new internship but it makes me sad because I don't have much time to see my friends anymore because I'm either working or in class or sleeping.
•Well, hello, cute guy that I now see 4 days a week.
•Tim McBride probably uses the automatic door opener buttons because to not use them can actually damage the doors. :) [Editor’s note: That’s actually not true. Facilities Management said opening the door without pushing the automatic door opener button does not damage the doors.]
•Trying to explain American politics to my study abroad roommate is like nailing Jello to a tree. She keeps expecting it to make sense.
•Don't get mad at people who have just started going to the gym this semester; even if they don't make a habit of it, it's good for them to go. You should be happy for them. Besides, treadmills are overrated. If you get into the right mind set (and warm clothing!), there's nothing better than a brisk winter run! (Or walk, walking's good too).
•What planet are you living on to think that DC is a "quasi-city"? Please name one city in this country that has more free museums, more free events, more non-profit organizations, etc tan DC. Ya, I thought so...
•Bureaucratic red tape idiots who care more about "that's what the rules say" than about the bigger picture and student well-being make me sick. If you don't care about students, then don't work in the field of education. I hate you!!!
•Dear biddies squealing on the LA quad, this isn't a snow storm. There isn't even an inch of snow. Please stop being annoying.
•How long is too long to wait for a proposal? My bf are both in grad school and have been together 3 years. I wanted to be engaged after 2 years, but waited because he wasn't ready. I told him if he isn't ready to propose in the next few months then I am moving on to someone who is willing to commit. Am I being too pushy or is he stringing me along and being immature about not committing?
•Eagle rants keep me sane.
•Dear Editor, In reference to your comment about no one being willing to write the sex advice column when a ranter asked why there wasn't one, I specifically remember an enthusiastic person a few weeks ago asking if he/she could write the column. But you said the eagle would not accept anonymous writers. Seems like a problem with the eagle policy that needs changing... [Editor’s note: Nope. Many advice, sex, etc. columnists for news organizations use their real names (i.e., the Washington Post’s Carolyn Hax). We do the same.]
•You know what? I've decided to blindly hate you. You can't sleep with someone, and then be all nice to them, and take them to the zoo, and then never text them during break, and then leave a party with someone else while I'm there. So yeah, you suck.
•RE: "Tim McBride uses the automatic door openers. Discuss." According to the Capitol Visitors Center, use of automatic door openers by the non-handicapped should be encouraged so that dead batteries can be spotted and reported as soon as possible. [Editor’s note: Interesting.]
•Hey A4S: it's 3 in the morning. You have a lounge. Please for the love of God stop shouting at each other in the halls and use the lounge.
•This is the semester to live it up. To go all out. This is my semester and so far it's already been amazing! LETS GO 2012.
Rant here!
