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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
