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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
