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.

We are all accustomed to the university making the news. Every time a remotely newsworthy event happens on the campus, regional and sometimes national media descend on the campus with their satellite trucks and attractive reporters faster than it takes to read the crime alert e-mail.

A little more than two months ago, the house I grew up in was destroyed in a fire. Our financial situation became immediately unclear, and it seemed like I wouldn't be able to complete my senior year at the most expensive university in the country.

Over the summer, AU changed its student health insurance plan from Chickering to GM Southwest, a Blue Cross company. It was a relatively mundane change, done in the most part because GM Southwest provided similar benefits with a similar premium and also kept their annual cost-of-living increase lower than Chickering did.

The New York Times painted a shameful picture of VCU May 2008 by printing a controversial story about the university accepting research grants from Richmond-based tobacco company Philip Morris.
The New York Times stated that "a contract with extremely restrictive terms" was signed with Philip Morris.

It's not a housing crunch, but it sure is a situation. As many of you are aware, there are quite a few freshmen living in temporary triples. In fact, approximately 55 percent of the class of 2012, 873 students total, currently live in this situation. Due in part to an 18 percent increase in enrollment, this scenario represents both a great challenge and a great opportunity for AU.

A first glance at the new turf on the football field or at the renovations that the swimming pool is currently undergoing is more than likely pleasing to the eye of a typical Howard student who is used to watching student-athletes perform on what seemed to have been makeshift athletic facilities.

I am, by nature, not a patient person. This is why, when presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama named Delaware senator Joe Biden his running mate Saturday, I breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Obama won the Democratic presidential nomination in June and took what seemed like forever to pick a running mate.

Conscripted by the Confederacy, captured soon after by the Union and held as a POW until the Civil War ended, Duke headed back to North Carolina to pick up pieces of his life. Twice prematurely widowed, he gathered his four young children from relatives and trudged to his old homestead.

Nineteen months ago the Washington correspondent of The People's Daily, a Chinese newspaper controlled by the Communist Party, asked President Richard Brodhead a simple question: Why does Duke, one of the world's top universities, have such a low profile in China?

v.1 (Yiddish) to complain
Though I do appreciate the renovation of Carmichael, could we get some drain
covers for the showers? I'm afraid I'll loose a foot in
there.
Dear Drunk Freshmen: Should I ever be that drunk, I hope I never ferociously attack
buildings - unlike you.

For a while I saw the infestation of Crocs as a sure sign of the apocalypse. But the waning of this hideous trend now proves that the obsession was purely a seizurelike moment of judgment in fashion history. But why Crocs?
These rubbery, porous clogs come in 20 colors so bright even Walt Disney wouldn't touch them.

I got my first bike when I was a 9-year-old living in Israel. It was one of those little BMX bikes that a friend of mine got rid of when he upgraded to a full-size adult bicycle. He taught me how to ride it, and about a year later, my great uncle got me my own 21-speed bicycle, which I rode all the time.
