Spider Lingo: Words Only University Of Richmond Students Use

Spiders have spun a web of words that only we understand. These words resonate through campus on a daily basis.

1. 8:15

It's 8:15 somewhere. Students come to this on-campus coffee shop with a latte on their mind for a study break.

2. Triceragoose

Beware of Triceragoose! This resident monster goose will move off of the sidewalk for no one and likes to chase small freshman.

3. Lou's


Our good friend Lou makes the best Red Pepper Gouda Soup and just happens to have a cafe on campus in his name.

4. Gotty

We call it "Gotty" because it sounds cooler than "Gottwald." In the Gottwald building, Science majors are just living the Gotty life.

5. Dhall

"Dining hall" is too long and pedestrian.

6. Lodges

Our lodges aren't cabins made of logs, and our camouflage consists of fun leggings and fanny packs instead of brown and green hunting bibs.

7. Passport

Don't pass by Passport. Passport isn't just something you need to bring with you to another country; it's a cafe that serves sushi and gelato.

8. Lodge Hop

After knowing what a lodge is, this is self-explanatory.

9. Spiderbytes

The only thing that is certain about your day is receiving these emails...even in the summer.

10. Jersey Dirt

It's hard to explain this tasty delicacy to outsiders.

11. Big Big

Calling your big's big a "G-Big" or a "Grand-Big" makes her sound really old.

12. Toucan

Oh, Toucan is also the name of a bird and not just a club?

13. Fishbowl

Although they do serve fishbowls with colorful drinks, Fishbowl is a club that holds schools of college students instead of goldfish.

14. Spider Card

Referring to your student ID card as an "ID Card" or "Swipe" is for peasants. We have come up with a unique name for our plastic rectangles.

15. Getty

"Getty Run" should be added to our Tuesday, Thursday schedules as The Getty has everything a college student could need for a weekend.


As majors in slanguage, we have come up with a unique language that depicts the real meaning of these words. If you haven't used all of the words on this list, do you even go to UR?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
