Whether you were in the High Country for the summer or you’re returning to campus after months of being away, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of the first week of classes. There’ll be Mountaineers running around campus and making their way to classrooms, groups of friends catching up at the dining halls and the glow of the Appalachian sun shining down on the mountains. 

It’s exciting to walk down the halls with an extra pep in your step, knowing that everything is fresh — new classes, new faces and new experiences. But if there’s one thing you need to pair with the new semester, it’s a soundtrack. 

From the melodic vibes of Still Woozy to the bright and cheering sounds of ABBA, these songs will help you get through your first week back with a smile on your face.
