Whether you are a current student, a freshman, or an alum, you will definitely be able to relate to certain signs you attend or attended your school. Everyone loves them because everyone can relate! Keep reading for 20 signs you go to Appalachian State University!
The temperature here WILL fall to the negatives and snow totals will far surpass the 2” norm of North Carolina, but don’t expect snow days. The best you can do is sip that fourth cup of coffee, bundle up, and enjoy the snow. Note: Rolling your eyes at other schools who complain of anything above freezing is completely acceptable
Even if you don’t own a pair of Chacos, it is easy to see how popular they are. Just count the number of Chacos on the way to class, odds are the number will be above 10.
On days it is below freezing or snowing, you wear Bean Boots. So, potentially you only need to own two pairs of shoes.
Nothing says ‘I go to Appalachian State University’ like the cliche Rough Ridge picture.
This floor is supposed to be the silent floor but you will soon find out that somebody will always blatantly ignore the rule. All you can do is hope that phone conversation doesn’t last your entire study session.
Library seating can be tricky during the semester, but it is especially challenging during exam week. You would be better off studying outside, in your dorm, or in the Student Union.
The Appalcart will either be your best friend or your worst enemy. But you can always count on the State Farm bus to be at least 10 minutes late… or early.
Boone has unpredictable weather. It can be sunny one minute and rain the next. Invest in a sturdy umbrella, because the wind can destroy one in an instant.
On sunny days, chances are you’ll pass numerous brightly colored Enos on your way to class. If you haven’t purchased an Eno, you’re missing out- they’re great for procrastinating that paper that’s due in less than 24 hours.
Just like with the Enos, the slack liners will always be found between the trees in front of Anne Belk on sunny days. If you’re fearless and don’t mind a few scratches or a bruise, try it one day, you may be a new addition to the slack line crew.
Nothing is more exciting than going to your first home football game as an Appalachian student. There is no better place to be than The Rock on game days.
Like seating in the library, parking spots are hard to come by on campus. If you are one of the lucky ones who gets a parking spot, make sure you pay attention to the signs that state the times you are allowed to park there, because nobody wants to get towed.
BooneTakeout is great for the days you can’t stomach one more Cookout tray, a sandwich at Mcalisters, or dining hall food.
Appalachia Cookie Co. is great for those late nights of studying or other extra curricular activities that you may take part in. What’s better than having cookies delivered to your dorm?
The winters can be brutal and taking a shortcut through the Student Union is completely acceptable.
When the AppalCart isn’t running, Safe Ride is. Although it claims to be a safer alternative, it can arrive late sometimes so always be prepared.
Nine times out of ten, you will have to wait in the incredibly long line for Mcalisters, but it is completely worth it for the macaroni and cheese.
It is believed that if you rub the bell outside of Anne Belk Hall, you will pass your exams, but you may be better off studying that extra hour.
After attending App for a while, nothing will irk you more than hearing someone mispronounce the school’s name, and nothing will prompt you quicker to correct said someone.
As cliche as it may sound, Appalachian State University is the place to be. The campus is beautiful, you are a short distance from incredible views and hikes on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and nothing makes you feel more at home than the Appalachian family.
