App State Student Ambassador
Hey ya’ll! I’m Lauren and I’m a freshman at Appalachian State University and a new Zinch Student Ambassador! I absolutely love App State! It gets cold, but the beauty of Boone makes up for it. I plan on majoring in nursing, with a minor in Spanish, if possible. After working as a nurse for a year or so to pay for school, I would like to continue my education to become a Pediatrician.

I love to read, and I love to learn. Right now, the thing I’m most interested in is the Counterculture Movement of the 1960’s (i.e. the Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, and the Hippie Movements.) I’m extremely talkative and pretty outgoing. I love to travel and hope to keep traveling in my future. I would also like to take at least an introductory course in Chinese, French, and Italian, if not more languages.

All through high school, I couldn’t decide my major or what college would be good place for me to spend the next four years of my life. Around April or May, my major found me. I decided what most interested me, and what most fit my personality, and that turned out to be nursing. Finally, on the day of the enrollment deadline, I chose Appalachian State. Honestly, I am so happy about my decision. I find something else to like about this college or this city everyday. Appalachian is unlike any college I’ve ever visited or heard of. There is no “weird” or “different” at App State because everyone is different! It’s the only place I’ve seen sorority girls, nerds, and hippies all hang out together. App State has gone above and beyond my expectations. Appalachian State University now, and always will, have a place in my heart.

If you have any questions about Appalachian, just send me a message through the AppState Q&A (http://www.zinch.com/node/930/qanda). I’d love to answer any questions you have about Appalachian and help you on your college search!
