It’s going on the fourth week with white bright snow on the ground in Boone. You may wonder if it will ever be warm again — if you’ll ever see vibrant green grass. All you want to do is go outside in less than three layers of winter clothes without feeling like you’ll get frostbite. You’re starting to dream that the slushy snow is damp sand welcoming your feet to the cool salty water of the ocean.
It may seem like it’s an eternity away, but try to remember early summer is right around the corner. We won’t be stuck in this winter wonderland for much longer, so try to enjoy it while you can and let the warm, cheerful music of Summer Salt and khai dreams fuel your summertime longing.
We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism. We are celebrating our 90th anniversary of The Appalachian in October 2024!
We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.
Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.
If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1727/cg20/form.aspx?sid=1727&gid=2&pgid=392&cid=1011&dids=418.15&bledit=1&sort=1.
