Would you consider yourself to be popular?

A: I try to visit every student at least once a year, so I would say yes.

What is your favorite part of the school year?

A: When everyone gets back to campus, and it just starts to get cold so I can start my visits!

How do you think students feel about you?

A: I think that although they don’t always love me visiting, they recognize that I am part of student life.

Editor’s note:  Though the Ring Around the Rosie/Black Death myth has been debunked (Snopes), we at HC Gettysburg don’t see the harm in temporarily revitalizing it for the sake of a punny title in an article personifying Gettysburg’s infamous sickness.

My name is Erica Boucher and I am part of Gettysburg College Class of 2019. I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter (and am a total Ravenclaw). I'm the Profile Editor here at HerCampus Gettysburg along with a writer. I love the color blue, singing/dancing to music in my dorm room, and wearing funky socks.
