Refreshing his Facebook message history to see if anyone else had responded, Alex Houston ’17 held off another minute on confirming plans to meet up with a friend until a better friend agreed to come along too. “Yeah, I’m just waiting to make sure I’ll actually be able to make it to the GCB at 7,” Houston wrote to former seminar-classmate Jake Kerns in an attempt to avoid being roped into spending an entire evening with the lesser acquaintance. “I’ll definitely let you know once I find out.” At press time, Kerns was texting other friends to see if anyone he liked more wanted to go see a movie instead.
