For those of you who aren't aware, my name is Alexander Saadi (or Saadi for short) and I am a graduating senior marketing major. I also played some soccer during my time here. Senior year is an interesting...

For the Class of 2014, our undergraduate career is nearly finished. It finally hit me today, a few days before the semester's end. It seems to me as good a time as any to reflect on the nature of friendship. We...
