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

You’ve suffered the aftermath of a Foster’s meal

You’ve seen the Oak Grove Preacher on your way to class

 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

You may complain you’re ‘sick of the IUP scene’ but deep down you know you wouldn’t trade this school for anything.
