What do you like best about Gettysburg?

The community I found at Science House and at the Den, and the friends I have made at both.

What are the top three things on your bucket list?

1.Climbing El Capitan, a multi-pitch wall in Yosemite National Park

2. Visiting Iceland

3. Having as many dogs (and various other animals including horses and a snek and can you have otters as pets?) as possible.

If you could have a meal with anyone dead or alive, who would you eat with and why?

Probably a giraffe because they are so awkward, which would balance out my own awkwardness. AND they have cool tongues (which are purple!!!!), they seem like homies.

But for reals, definitely Lynn Hill. She’s a really famous climber who climbed in Yosemite in the 80’s when it was a male-dominated sport. She was often underestimated by all of the men, but she was super strong and totally crushed.

If you were a cupcake flavor, what would you be and why?

Lemon! With Funfetti! Because I definitely have a strong personality (“flavor”) but am still very sweet. And the funfetti because I’m a little weird and loud, but only if you get to know me.

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.
