A
is for academics and athletics, two of the most important things at SHU.
B
is for Bridgeport, the town that all Sacred Heart students like to argue our school is located in. It might as well be.
C
is for Chip’s. The best breakfast around if you’re willing to wait around for an hour and a half.
D
is for declining dollars. List this under things we never seem to have.
E
is for e-mails. Bzzt. Bzzt. You thought you were popular? Nope, it’s just another email from SHU.
F
is for Fetty Wap. I’m sure that I’m not the only one on our campus that felt tears coming to my eyes as I read the email announcing that Fetty was coming to SHU. How did we even manage that? You know what, I’m not gonna question it. Thanks, SET!
G
is for G-Star Tuesdays. Why wait for the weekend when you can just hit up Golden Star Cafe on a Tuesday?
H
is for hallways. Getting through the hallways around SHU is easily one of the most difficult things to accomplish. Even with your head down, buried in your phone, you’re not getting past the frats, sororities, and countless clubs advertising all of their events.
I
is for that embarrassing ID picture you take at Freshman orientation that follows you around for the next four years.
J
is for John Petillo, the president of our University.
K
is for Kevin Nealon, the only really notable alumni that has come out of Sacred Heart.
L
is for Linda’s. Nothing better than coming back from a night out and entering Linda’s with your squad in tow. Well, maybe the drunk food you’re about to waste your declining dollars on.
M
is for Merritt Canteen, the other go to place for drunk munchies. I remember when they ran out of Mac and Cheese Bites for a few weeks and everyone lost their minds.
N
is for Nursing, easily one of the most popular majors at SHU. I know for a fact most of your friends are Nursing majors, don’t even lie to me.
O
is for Outtakes. This is the easiest place for SHU students to get their grocery shopping done, the only problem is that the line never seems short enough to even bother getting on.
P
is for parking. It’s a surprise that parking at SHU doesn’t look like this:
Q
is for Quiet Hours, the least enforced rule at Sacred Heart University.
R
is for Red’s. Watching the seniors casually walk down the stairs at Linda’s main entrance rather than up leaves every underclassman with a severe case of FOMO.
S
is for Senior Pub Nights. (See R)
T
is for Toad’s. If you wanna meet an Ivy League husband, go on down to Toad’s where all the Connecticut colleges seem to end up on their weekends.
U
is for your trip up to the Pitt Center for your daily gym run. This walk is a workout in itself.
V
is for Valentine -- Bobby Valentine. Seeing Bobby around campus isn’t unusual for students at SHU but, the moment someone visiting you spots him you realize just how famous he actually is.
W
is for We Live. After that Halloween Extravaganza, or lack thereof, they’ve seemed pretty quiet. But, guys, let’s be honest, even though they scammed half of SHU’s student population, they’re probably the main reason you have an opportunity to leave your dorm on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.
X
is for seeing all of your exes around campus because this school is so damn small.
Y
is for Yik Yak, where your hostile neighbors will tell you to shut up at the wee hours of the morning
Z
is for Zzz because we can't get through college life without a daily nap.
