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

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
