13 One-Liners That Only Shippensburg University Students Could Understand

It's like we have our own language.

13 One-Liners That Only Shippensburg University Students Could Understand
Casey Leming

Over here at Shippensburg University, students come from all sides of Pennsylvania, and its surrounding states; we are a diverse group of tri-state area residents.

Though there are students who come from elsewhere, most of us hail from the east coast. With several dialects from different counties, the language on campus becomes not only diverse but just plain different.

Here are 13 phrases that only makes sense to Shippensburg students, and if you're not one of us, well, I guess ship happens.

1. "Another alarm in the Hove?"

Okay, maybe no one but the residents call it the 'Hove,' but they are famous for their multiple fire alarms. Sometimes, there's more than one in one night.

2. "Meet me at the CUB!"

We have all said this at one time or another. Then you follow up with, "Where are you?" And someone always says either, "McFeelys," "The Great Hall" or "Fireside." Quality places to eat, meet and hang out.

3. "I forgot it was Raider Bowl Wednesday!"

Most of us are too prideful to say the Raider Bowl is gross, but ever since they switched back to the bad chicken, nothing has been the same. It is nice when they still have dinner rolls though.

4. "I can't come out tonight. I have the Reisner Runs."

The absolute worst kind of runs. It's probably because you ate the Chinese food or the chicken cacciatore. Learn from your mistakes.

5. "I spent all my flex."

A true tragedy. You can reload in amounts of $25, but most of us just suffer.

6. "Ship happens."

Even if you hate this saying, it's plastered on every single piece of merchandise we sell and own.

7. "I hate the Bard hill."

Okay, maybe this isn't what the Bard hill looks like but it definitely FEELS like this. It's deceiving because it looks like it's not THAT bad, but it's actually TERRIBLE.

8. "Are they still making hot bowls?"

I wish they would just post their hours. I also wish they would put more bowls in the refrigerator.

9. "APB sucks."

Not everyone feels this way, but you've all heard someone say this. APB is doing pretty well as of right now - they're thriving, and who can beat a $40 meet and greet with Jesse McCartney?

10. "Let's hit up Wibs tonight!"

You'll go, you'll hate it and yourself afterwards. It's never worth it but you always find yourself back there.

11. "Kriner, the finer diner."


Grilled cheese all the time, and Papa Johns in the lobby.

12. "The Grove stairs are the worst!"

Okay, there is an elevator, but people totally judge you when you take it and it does take approximately five minutes just to arrive.

13. "I'm gonna study in the fishbowl."

Where would we be without late-night paper-writing in the fishbowl? That one vending machine is always broken, someone always tries to leave out the locked doors and you'll likely find at least one student having a mental breakdown at midnight.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
