App State Sports

For all those lucky enough to attend Appalachian State at some point in their lives will find the following ABCs to be a special edition...

A... Appalachian

Not only is it the best school in the world, it is located in the center of the Appalachian region. The mountains are our backyard!

B... Boone

App State is located in the beautiful college town of Boone, North Carolina! The people and the atmosphere are what make this place so special.

C... Cascades

If you're a student at App, odds are you have taken a lunch break from studying from the lovely Cascades Cafe in the student union. If you're like me, you frequent Freshens, the smoothie place.

D... Division

As in division one. Southern Conference and SunBelt Champs AND three times FCS National Champs.

E... Energy

App is one of the most sustainable campuses in the country. The windmill is visible from almost every angle.

F... Football

App State is known for their stellar football team and fan-following up in Kidd-Brewer Stadium. The Mountaineers have brought home three national championships!

G... Greek Life

The Greek community at App is unlike any other. It's small, but still has a huge presence on campus.

H... Hungry Howies

Arguably the best pizza you've ever tasted after a night out with friends. Not to mention an amazing discount after midnight!

I... Ice

Part of being a student at this cold mountain school is the dooming reality that you will fall and bust your butt on ice multiple times. There is no way to avoid it.

J... Jersey

On game days at The Rock, you'll see tons of fans sporting their mountaineer jerseys!

K... Klondike

The legendary fireplace, Tuesday nights, and cheese fries. Enough said.

M... Mall, Sanford to be exact.

Sanford Mall is where you will find literally every student out and about, socializing on Boone's lovely spring days. If you're lucky, you'll catch a slack line show!

N... Neers

The Appalachian State Mountaineers are undoubtedly the real 'neers on the East.

O... Outdoors

The best part about Boone is that everywhere you look you'll find a breathtaking view. Hiking spots, waterfalls, and overlooks to watch the sunrise and sunset are just a ten minute drive from campus.

P... Parkway

Speaking of outdoors, driving the Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the many places you can find these breathtaking views.

Q... Quidditch

Oh yes, for all you Harry Potter fans, App has a Quidditch team.

R... Rough Ridge

Have you ever even been to Boone if you don't take a Rough Ridge picture and post it on Instagram?

S... Snow

If you've never seen snow before, prepare yourself for the bold winter that comes with App State. Rumor has it the University never cancels class... false.

T... Tailgates

There's not just one spot to tailgate on game days around App. The entire campus is absolutely flooded with students and Alumni getting ready to cheer on the Mountaineers.

U...U of Miami

On September 17th, 2016 at 12 noon, the U of Miami Hurricanes will be in Kidd-Brewer stadium and EVERYONE WILL BE THERE.

V...Vs. Michigan

Another legendary date in the history of ever: September 1st, 2007. The Appalachian State Mountaineers beat the Michigan Wolverines in the Big House.

Z... Zip code

The 28608: once you come, you'll never want to leave.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
