Eagle Rants Jan. 27

•People need to learn what the term "literally" actually means. I am damn tired of people telling me things like "I literally died" and "I literally jumped out of my skin." It means actually, so unless you actually died and/or are out of your skin etc. please pick another word, or else I'm literally going to punch a baby.

•Dear girl speaking Russian on the shuttle, It's too bad you were on your phone the whole ride. I would've liked to try to having a conversation in Russian with you. Maybe next time I see you I'll have the guts to speak up.

•@ Rangos rants are creepy: They're sort of funny...sometimes. Just let the biddies have their fun @doing sex all wrong: How do you know you are doing it wrong? Now I'm scared I'm doing it wrong...

•I understand it is still early in the semester with minimal work; however, haven't all Occupy Movements ceased during the winter months?

•Dear Girl in My Advanced Reporting Class, We all get that you are smart, and driven - but I promise there are other people in our class capable of making valuable contributions. Please be respectful and give others a chance to weigh in. Can you not see the collective eye rolls (from both students and our professor) every time you raise your hand?? Sincerely, Shy but (also) Smart

•not having your rant posted is a blow to the heart.

•re: um a significant number of college students can afford a cleaning lady~ okay, I'm really glad to hear about how privileged you are and how a "significant" number of my peers can apparently afford for people to come clean their crappy college apartments. Get over yourself, nobody is impressed with your cleaning lady.

•You know what would make my day? If you ranted about me (and I could tell it was me, obviously)

•Hey Tim McBride, if you read this, you should totally acknowledge it on Facebook. Please? :)

•I don't like you, exactly. I just want you to like me. Not romantically, but you talk with me and make me feel important, but then you turn around and say that you don't have friends- so what am I? chopped liver? I wish I meant more to you, platonically.

•@That Awkward Moment... No. That is not an awkward moment. I cannot see how that is awkward. Interesting or strange, perhaps, but hardly awkward.

•I wish I could use exclamation marks in my essay about St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans! It would make it so much more exciting to write!!

•@Blue is our color and blue is our other color!: be my best friend please

•Wow, the 1/25 rants were really good! What were they putting in the water the day before?

•@"Yes, some people have more money than you. Get used to it." ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR ASSHAT OF THE YEAR YEEEEEEAAAHHH!!!

•Why does it seem like every single girl here rushed? #lonely

•"I honestly cannot believe I ever liked you. Wow. You're unbelieveably annoying, immature, naive, and you're so quick to change your mind if someone argues with you in the slightest. What was I thinking? I guess we all make mistakes when we first come to college and don't know anyone, but geez." Letts4N

• @"Dear Hughes, If you were that upset about the goldfish... why didn't YOU take care of them instead of just watching them die?" We DID take the ones that weren't locked up in the Hughes Classroom and paid $50 for a tank!

•@"I told her the birth control websites and all the scientific studies I have read said the effectiveness rate of the pill is 99.99% effective." You go girl!!

•@"Am I the only one who can't wait to be pregnant after I finish college?" You are literally me! I have pregnancy and baby dreams all the time. But the both of us might not be normal haha.

•PICNIC TABLES!!!!

•(This is a Public Service Rant.) Because Metro is falling apart, busses are replacing Red Line trains between Van Ness and Dupont Circle this weekend. Save yourself some time and hassle: Take the N6 bus straight from campus to Dupont Circle instead.

•I know my best friend well enough to be able to identify almost all of her rants. (:

•McDonald's has been wonked. Not cool.

•I just filled out my first AU alumni census survey that was emailed to me. It made me miss AU so much more than I usually do. I wanna go back!

•@rant categories: It sounds like a cool idea, but think how long it would take the editor to sort through and categorize them all. I think we ask enough of her already. And she is kind enough to post rants for us every day. Count your blessings, my friend.

•Why isn't the LA Quad subject to silent hours?

•@"If anyone is going to post anonymously on a sex column, then their STD test should also be provided to the public" lol ya and also and a list of everyone they have ever had sex with. And nude pics.

•I love looking out my dorm across the LA quad at the opposite building to people watch. It's weird to see the differences between the individual rooms.

•GUYS BE QUIET IM ON THE PHONE

•Happy #PajamaFridays everyone! Celebrate by wearing your PJ's to class!

•@person who complains about being deleted on facebook. Maybe you should actually try and be friends with them rather than just trying to maximize your friend count. Just deleted another 8 people a couple from AU MAYBE IT WAS YOU!!! HAHAHAHA

•I JUST SET THE RECORD!!! You know what I'm talking about!

•Chairman Mao and Bai Jiu... That is all.

•Does anyone else think that Masqu-Rave sounds like mass grave?

•@Girl who needs love making constantly: I'm pretty sure there are dozens of guys here at AU that would gladly step up to the plate and satisfy your needs lmao

•@masturbator ranter: romantic masturbators is an oxymoron

•@? is a greek letter: when you write out AEPI you are writing what would be said as "a-e-pi" NOT "alpha-epsilon-pi". by writing "pi" they are simply referring to the fact that they indeed mean to write the verbal pronunciation of the fraternity name and not the fraternity letters. GET OVER IT, SERIOUSLY.

•Dear brunette girl on the 3rd floor of the library, why wait until the last day of school when I can make you happy now?

•Everybody get back on LAL.com!!

•Dear Roommate: Do not constantly complain that you're gaining weight and feel fat. All you eat is processed carbs with high fat content. When I invite you to the gym, you get mad. When I don't invite you to the gym, you get mad. Exercise your bitter attitude on someone else, please. Your body is your own fault at this point.

•Can we please put the number of calories in some of the meals at TDR/Tavern/Eagle Express. I'm on a diet of a certain amount of calories decided by my doctor and I exercise an hour a day and somehow I haven't lost any weight/inches :[

•AU, Stop trying to make WONK happen.

•The McDonalds has turned into a Wonk billboard! ALL IS LOST!

•Seriously, I'm like so tired of like listening to like people in like class like trying to like say stuff so fast that they like keep like using the word "like" like a dozen time every time they like speak a sentence. It literally drives me crazy. Like literally.

•Honestly, my LDR works so well that I'm a little nervous about what will happen when we're actually together and get to have a normal relationship.

•Gahhhhh I really miss having sex! Definitely one of the worst parts of being in a long-distance relationship.....

•FIX THE JOBS BOARD KEVIN SUTHERLAND! I need to get my babysit on

•So I know the Clinton speech was tonight but I still would have liked eagle rants.

•Why are my roommates so weird and gross? Why can't I have normal roommates like last year?

•This whole Clinton speech tickets thing is such bull! So wish that had been better broadcast...

•What did the ghost say to the bee? "Boo Bee!" lawlz

Rant here!
