Shippensburg University students gathered in McFeely’s for a karaoke and crafts night hosted by The Reflector on Nov. 14.
The Reflector is the university’s student-run journal, which features student submissions in poetry, prose and art.
Along with producing their yearly publication, The Reflector staff meets every other Thursday in Horton Hall to talk about their work and participate in various activities.
They also occasionally host other events as well, including their karaoke and crafts night.
Multiple students sang a variety of songs during karaoke, including “Nobody’s Son,” by Sabrina Carpenter; “From the Start,” by Laufey; “My Dead Gay Son,” from “Heathers: the Musical,” and various other songs from artists and theater productions.
While students were singing, others enjoyed the different crafts and games available. Students could grab coloring sheets, including both standard drawings and bookmarks.
There were also various card games to play, including Uno and Cards Against Humanity.
All of this was complemented by the snacks and refreshments provided, including cookies and chips.
Katelyn Mader, editor-in-chief of The Reflector, noted how crucial holding events like these on campus is, especially during the busy final push of the semester.
“We were hoping for a nice event for our members and even other members of the community to just come in and relax a little bit,” Mader said. “We know everything is getting crazy with finals just around the corner so [it was] a nice chance to relax and have fun.”
While the semester may be almost over, The Reflector is still hard at work on its next publication.
