…In 2021, like in years before, the writers of The Michigan Daily Arts are stretching out their hammies to participate in a grueling challenge of mental fortitude and physical fitness: the Ann Arbor Probility Marathon. A little pretentious, a little weird, The Daily team is a mix of seasoned athletes and … less seasoned athletes.

…When we started the “Best of Summer” series last year, none of us expected that we would still have a hanging shadow of the pandemic looming over us. If anything, this series was created as a defense against the social brain rot brought out by constant screen interfacing and self-isolation. If there is one entity that can foster genuine connection without the need for physical immediacy, it’s music. With that in mind, here we are, o...…

…Last Saturday at the Big House, I saw a sea of Maize-and-Blue — as it is often described whenever we convene at the stadium — complete with bodies packed and bleachers stacked in undulating exaltation. Hours later, a similar sea moving in a much faster fashion rushed ashore on the surface of my phone as one by one, post after post flooded my feed all in service to gameday. But let’s be clear. Gameday photos are never a monolith. T...…
…7-Opinion O ne year ago, our campus felt chaotic. Inadequate testing, spiking COVID-19 cases and thousands of frightened and disgruntled university workers, who, in a shock to the system, declared they were going on strike for better working conditions. Among these workers were more than a hundred members of University Housing’s Residential Staff who joined the strike to pursue their own demands, in a two-week- long s...…

…Despite its winning record heading into Friday’s matchup against No. 12 New Hampshire, the Michigan men’s soccer team had yet to play a complete game well. The Wolverines’ slow starts have led to missed opportunities and have forced them to play catch-up with the opposing team. Michigan hoped to change this narrative, but this game was no different, as the team fell, 1-0. The Wolverines’ offense struggled mightily in the first half....…

We all stood quietly — awkwardly — not remembering the proper pre-class etiquette. At what point is it acceptable to walk into the room? How does one engage in small talk...…
…Recently, I had a falling out with someone who told me in parting that they could, at the very least, always count on me to look out for myself. Not look after. Not take care of. Look out. As in, that ball is about to hit your head. Look out. Engage your defenses. While I didn’t fight this, I can’t forget it, because weeks after the conversation I still find myself struggling to work through all the bitter complexities of the statem...…

I was not expecting to talk with him that evening, but when he texted asking if he could call, I promptly dialed him back, remembering the rarity of being awake and on our phones at the same time. Two months earlier, I flew up to Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, ...…

For the first time in nearly two years, Michigan Stadium welcomed in students at full capacity for the first game of the Wolverines’ 2021 season.
