Eagle Rants

Go ahead, speak your mind. We’ll probably print it.

I’m scared to let go. What do you mean Rants is male-dominated? Every other rant is about how every guy on this campus is gay, straight, or taken The girls of McDowell 4th floor are all beautiful. Wedding Crashers is prequel to Midnight in Paris.

Happy Halloween! - I hope you eagle ranters are having a more awesome night than me.—Sitting in the Library writing a paper. - Also Lily and James Potter died 31 years ago tonight. :( Teach me how to move on as quickly as you did.

Why can’t something good happen for me, just once? Soooo, maybe I’m a little desperate, but I legit hoped you would actually ask me out. I’m not sure what to think. Either make a real move or maybe I will! You were happy before you met him/her, and you’ll be able to be happy after he/she’s gone. I promise you that. Relationships shouldn’t cause you pain. My WONK Quotient is equal to the inverse of the Stupidity Quotient of this WONK Campaign. I was on the fence about voting for Obama until I saw Dave Matthews play for him. AU needs an ice skating rink

If you hate this school so much, leave. We’re all tired of your negativity.

If you ever want to tell me “I’m sorry”, don’t hesitate. I’ll listen. I’ve missed you. Please don’t worry, I forgave you long ago. But a part of me will always love you. Should I be concerned that AU is planning to dig an underground parking garage while John Hopkins is conducting a health survey for students and alumni which is related to the former use of Spring Valley to test/dispose of arsenic gas weapons? Look, I love a spontaneous 2:30 party just as much as the next AU student, but I hate when I am forced to wake up and participate in one outside of MGC in the freezing cold because of a pulled fire alarm. Seriously guys, get a hobby or something. Come along, Pond!
