Forget ‘I Usually Party’, you know IUP actually should stand for ‘It Usually Precipitates.’

 You agree whole-heartedly with the following:

You or someone you know has been towed/received a parking ticket for an illegitimate reason

Sheetz and Giant Eagle Express are the go-to place to satisfy your food cravings after a night out 

You’ve been asked if Indiana University of Pennsylvania is affiliated with Indiana University

Your instagram feed is filled with pictures of the Oak Grove, java city/starbucks cups and drunk snapchats

You’re proud of the KCAC

You go to an event for free food or t-shirts… regardless of the topic

Your favorite holiday is homecoming. Yes IUP homecoming is a holiday.

Slippery Rock, Cal U, and Clarion got nothin’ on us

You’ve fought for a table at the library during finals week

You know you should always keep an umbrella on you…. but usually don’t

 Life’s tough if you’re not a Pens, Steelers or Pirates fan

 You’re going to miss Steel City Sammiches, Krangers and Romeos when you graduate

You’ve been to a party at all of the following at some point in your IUP college career: Copper Beech, Sig Chi, Phi Psi,Volleyball/Rugby/Swim Houses

 Your heart sinks a little bit every time you don’t see your name mentioned on IUP Crushes
