Dorm and apartment living Nora Smith | @noraagracee | Former Editor-in-Chief
Moving into a new home is one of the most stressful processes, but organization is key to making your move-in day go smoothly. Knowing exactly what you need before moving in is important, but allow
money and time on move-in day for the inevitable forgotten necessities. Whether you live in a dorm or apartment, coordinate with your roommates to make sure all bases are covered and avoid multiple of the
Dorms
Apartments
Alarm clock: Even if you use your phone alarm, it’s never a bad idea to have a back up plan so you’re not late for class.
Toolkit: Whether you’re putting furniture together or an appliance breaks, a screwdriver, hammer and nails should be on your “to buy” list.
Mattress pad: Splurge on the mattress pad—your back will thank you.
Folding chairs: Small common areas can be crowded with too much furniture, but folding options make a space more versatile.
Clothes hangers: App State dorms have a small dresser, but most of your clothes will need to fit in the tall wardrobes.
Plenty of lighting: Many apartments lack natural light, so you’ll want lamps and fairy lights. Don’t forget light bulbs.
Laundry basket: Make sure it’s strong and light enough for you to carry to the downstairs laundry area in each dorm. Shower tote: Trust me, you don’t want to have to carry four bottles of toiletries with you every time you shower. Flip flops: The worst beginning to your year in the dorms? Getting athlete’s foot from the showers.
same items in a small space. The ACT Office Big Sale is the perfect place to buy secondhand essentials for cheap, but this list can also be used as a starting point for dorm and apartment shopping.
Curtains: Along with the privacy they offer, curtains are an easy way to customize a temporary living space.
TO BRING
Plants: Plants add life to a space, especially in winter when the world outside is barren. Succulents, ferns and aloe are easy to grow indoors.
Dishes, glasses, utensils: Although on-campus students have a meal plan, these are nice for when you are inevitably tired of dining hall food and eating out of pizza boxes.
Vacuum and mop: In a larger space, dirt and dust easily get out of hand. Be prepared to clean more often.
A small fan: App State is cold in the winter, but dorms stay warm all year.
Kitchen storage: When you’re cooking for yourself, it’s easier to make meals in bulk. Make sure you have Tupperware and Ziploc bags for storage.
Power strip and surge protector: Between your laptop, mini fridge, microwave and more, you will need extra plugs. Just make sure you protect your electronics in case of a surge.
Kitchen supplies: Start your collection with pots, pans, cutting boards, measuring cups and a can opener.
Printer: With printers in the library and most academic buildings, these take up too much space in a dorm room.
Expensive furniture: It might be hard to leave your comfy couch behind at home, but a shared apartment is not the best place for your grandmother’s heirloom chair.
Kitchen appliances other than microwave, mini fridge and coffee machine: Dining halls have all the appliances you could need, yes, including that panini press.
Area rugs: Carpets and rugs can soften a space, but keep them small so you can wash them more easily.
Bulky luggage: Trade hard case suitcases for duffle bags so you can stuff them into your wardrobe or under the bed. Pets: App State dorms allow some fish, but hold off until you have an idea of your schedule and know you have time to take care of your swimming friend.
WELCOME
NOT TO BRING
Too many kitchen appliances: Decide what appliances you’ll use to save space. Don’t bring a mixer if you don’t bake. Floor storage: Invest in shelves and hanging organizers to keep the floor clean. They will make your space look organized even if it’s not.

10 ways App State students spend their time outside Anna Dollar | @Anna_Carrr | News Reporter
Whether it’s hot or cold, people always have something to do outside in Boone. Here are 10 ways App State students spend their time outside:
1

On a nice, warm day, students are out on Sanford Mall, located in front of the Plemmons Student Union. Students can be seen hanging out in hammocks, playing catch with a ball or a Frisbee, playing with dogs, or laying on a blanket and doing homework. Students can hang out there as long as they please, whether that be for hours or just a few minutes on the way to class.
6
7 A fun way to pass time is driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway. People are able to take in the natural beauty of the mountains surrounding Boone. In the fall, as the leaves change, the parkway looks like an image on a postcard. While driving on the parkway, there are plenty of places to stop and admire the views.
A popular place to hike is Rough Ridge on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The view at the top makes the hike worthwhile. This is where people come to take breathtaking pictures to remember their time in Boone.
Laurel Creek, also known to App State students as Trash Can Falls, is where students go if they are in the mood for a little thrillseeking. This waterfall has given people the chance to play in the water as they did when they were kids.
When the weather is cold, Boone is perfect for skiing and snowboarding. Campus is closest to App Ski Mountain, which is about 15 minutes away, but Sugar and Beech mountains are also not too far away.

Students enjoy spending time at the Watauga Humane Society, located at 312 Paws Way, where they can walk shelter dogs on a small trail nearby. Not only do students get to spend time with dogs, but the dogs get exercise instead of staying in their cages. The dogs have fun and so do the people who walk them.
Julian Price Memorial Park is a small lake located on the parkway. People can swim, kayak, fish or just take in the beauty of the water surrounded by mountains and trees.
For people who like walking in nature but not necessarily hiking, The Greenway Trail is the place to go. People can be found walking their dogs, pushing babies in strollers, jogging and so much more.
Between Blowing Rock and Boone is Tweetsie Railroad, a Wild West themed park where people can ride trains, see entertainment, go to Deer Park Zoo and plenty more. As a family-oriented place, anybody can go and have a good time.
10
If people are in the mood for something a little more laid-back and slow-paced, there is always the option to stroll along King Street. The popular downtown street has many places to shop, such as Lililu on King and Mast General Store, and dine, such as Our Daily Bread and Melanie’s Food Fantasy. The street performances that individuals put on from time to time keep the relaxed vibes for locals and tourists on King Street.

Best of Boone 2019 Outdoor Highlights Beacon Heights
I
Best Hiking Trail
Christine Dudley | @Chridud | Associate A&C Editor
f you’re looking for a gorgeous view of the sunrise or sunset, Beacon Heights is the perfect spot. To experience the stunning long-range views, drive about 40 minutes down the Blue Ridge Parkway, park your car at Milepost 305.2 and hike the short Beacon Heights Trail. The trailhead crosses a small road and then heads immediately upwards, ascending a total of 1400 feet. Be prepared with decent shoes and good quads. The trail
forks to the left at the Tanawha Trail and is the starting point of this 13-mile trail to Price Park. Continuing to the right leads you to the top of Beacon Heights. At the 4,220foot peak, the two open expanses of bare quartzite rock are separated by a small patch of woods. Beacon Heights is famous for its spectacular views of Table Rock, Hawksbill, Grandmother Mountain and Grandfather Mountain.

Saturdays at The Rock

Brooks Maynard | @BrooksMaynard Former Sports Editor
hirty thousand fans. Seas of black and gold. The Marching Mountaineers forming a large “ASU” on the field and blaring “Hi Hi Yikas” to the crowd. Cannons blasting with every App State touchdown. Fresh barbecue pork nachos from the concession stand. These are some of the things you will see, hear and smell at every football game at The Rock. Kidd Brewer Stadium has been the home of the Mountaineers since it was built as Conrad Stadium in 1962. It could hold 10,000 fans at the time, a number which pales in comparison to the record 35,126 fans who attended a home game against Wake Forest in 2017. “The atmosphere is high energy. The intensity is fun,” sophomore athletic training major Logan Hatley said. “Game day up at The Rock is something special.” Kidd Brewer has hosted many big time events, including Football Championship Series semi-final games in 2005, 2006 and 2007 and the second college football game televised by ESPN, played against Western Carolina in 1979. In 2018, Kidd Brewer held the first Sun Belt Championship game. Regular visitors include the Troy University Trojans, the Arkansas State University Red Wolves and longtime rival and former Southern Conference foe, the Georgia Southern University Eagles. On Saturdays in Boone, fans feel like they’re part of a celebration. “Everyone around contributes to App football,” Hatley said. “It’s almost like a holiday every Saturday.” App State football has also had some memorable games outside of Boone. They’ve traveled to play Power Five opponents like Clemson, Georgia and Tennessee. In 2018, they came within a touchdown of defeating the Penn State Nittany Lions. In 2017, App State Athletics announced a series with the UNC-Chapel Hill Tar Heels. The first game will be played in Chapel Hill in 2019 and the Tar Heels will visit Boone in 2022 before finishing the series at Chapel Hill in 2023. “My favorite memory would have to be going to Penn State,” sophomore criminal justice major Jackson Rhodes said. “Being there and almost winning, it was crazy.” The games aren’t just a fun way to spend a Saturday or watch a football team, but a way to create lasting memories with friends. For some, it’s what they miss most about being a student at App State. “Just getting to hang out with my friends at tailgates and at the games,” App State alumnus Robbie Ray said. “Those are some of the best memories that I have of Boone. I’ll always miss those days.”

R
iding the Appalcart or walking aren’t the only ways to get around town without a car; for those with a little extra cash, rideshare programs can be a great way to navigate the streets of Boone. Rideshare programs are more organized forms of carpooling where people pay an individual driver money to take them from place to place. This differs from taxi services as, for the most part, drivers make use of their personal vehicles. Two that immediately come to mind are Uber and Lyft, but there are several other rideshare programs in Boone, the most prominent of these being Boone Student Beeper. Boone Student Beeper is a rideshare group broken up into two separate Facebook groups, one with over 20,000 members that is open to the public and a smaller, student-only group that has a little over 6,000 members. “Beepers,” as they’re called, are more informal than Uber or Lyft. They don’t do progressive rates; instead, most beepers charge a flat
$2 rate for groups and $3 for singles on top of any tips given by riders. It should be noted that there isn’t much oversight for the actions of beepers or riders as this is a student-to-student volunteer service with no central organization. On the other hand, Uber and Lyft charge an initial fee and then a rate for how far the driver is taking the rider. In Boone, Uber is available as either UberX, which seats one to four people, and UberXL, which seats at least six riders. UberX has a base fee of $2.50 and charges $0.30 per minute and $1.36 per mile with a minimum fare of $6.15. The cancellation fee is $5 plus the same rates per mile and per minute. UberXL has a base fee of $3.75 and charges $0.45 per minute and $1.75 per mile with a minimum fare of $7.40. The cancellation fee is $5 plus the same rates per mile and minute. Lyft, on the other hand, is available in regular Lyft and Lyft XL. The difference between the two is the same as the difference between UberX and UberXL.
Lyft has a base fare of $5 and charges $0.81 per mile and $0.15 per minute with a minimum fare of $4. Lyft XL has a base fare of $1.75 and charges $1.56 per mile and $0.20 per minute with a minimum fare of $6. The cancellation fee for both is $5. For those traveling around and between university properties, there is also the Mountaineer Safe Ride service. This operates in the fall and spring semesters from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m., seven days a week excluding holidays. It is important to note that safe ride is limited to university parking lots, residence halls and academic buildings. In addition to these rideshare services, Boone is home to several conventional taxi services. Some of these services include: Abby Cab, Beach Mountain Taxi, Sugar Mountain Taxi, Boone Taxi and High Country Taxi. The university has compiled a complete list of these, which can be found at offcampus. appstate.edu.
