WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING
You can talk about her one-of-a-kind sculptures or her excitement about heading to grad school at the Maryland Institute College of Art, but don’t remind Chloe Watson about the time she locked herself out of her dorm room at 4 a.m. She wandered the halls, tried to wake up a sleepwalker, and finally talked her way into a neighbor’s room to use the phone. “It was humiliating,” Watson says.
TYING - AND WORKING OUT - THE KNOTS
Biochemistry major Josh Harris says his most treasured moment on the Hill was meeting his fiancé, Lindsey Keller. They’ll marry this summer, and then Harris will attend medical school at the University of Maryland. Keller plans to become a physical therapist.
