I used to be just like you.
Young, full of hope and dreams for the future. I wanted to be an astronaut, a writer, a sculptor, an Olympian. But then I came to Goucher- a joke, don't panic!
That's not true (except for the astronaut bit) - not because Goucher doesn't have the capability to change you, for better or worse, but because I didn't embrace or engage this capability.

I was never a Harry Potter fan past the age of 12. To really enjoy a book like those in the Harry Potter series, one has to believe that Harry's world, full of magic and wizardry, exists somewhere. But at 12, I was shocked by one of two truths I would have to face every time I read and inhabited the world of "the boy who lived": either Harry Potter and the world he offered was all a sham or, since I still went to a normal middle school and had not received a mysterious letter beckoning me to Hogwarts, Harry Potter's world had passed me by all together, and I was a Muggle.

Demand for on-campus housing is currently at its highest level in five years, causing AU to place more than half of the freshman class in temporary triples and to offer upperclassmen alternative living arrangements in a hotel and apartment complex.
Enrollment has spiked in a number of programs, mainly because of the prospect of being in the nation's capital for the 2008 presidential election, said Chris Moody, executive director of Housing and Dining Programs.

In this two part series, The Eagle examines two exclusions in student health care - the HPV vaccine and transgender health treatments - and the many ways students are fighting to get those benefits covered. To the almost 1,100 AU undergraduates who subscribe to university health insurance, the Student Health Center's announcement earlier this summer that it was changing health care providers probably seemed routine.
