…As vaccines are becoming more and more accessible, Michigan Medicine has been a key distributor responsible for vaccinating hospital staff and patients as well as some students and faculty in Ann Arbor. Each week, the number of vaccines available nationally varies, which influences the supply chain and ultimately how many doses local health systems have access to. Michigan Medicine has the capacity to vaccinate up to 24...…
…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Arts Wednesday, March 31, 2021 — 5 When I first sought out to understand the University of Michigan’s students’ experiences with guilty pleasures, I expected to find an underbelly of U-M students dumping their parents’ credit cards into VTuber donations or OnlyFans subscriptions. After seeing my post looking for interviews about the topic on Facebook, a close friend messaged me, “I do fee...…
…The Ann Arbor District Library is a magical place. In fact, any local library, bookstore or streetside lending library is likely to have the best, most authentic book recommendations. The Daily’s Book Review writers certainly think so — so, in the same spirit of small city book recommendations, we offer our small list of books by Black writers that might have slipped past the New York Times Best Sellers list. Some of these books ar...…
…During a workshop I participated in last summer, we were each asked to share our “immigration story.” I didn’t end up sharing with the group as I didn’t necessarily feel like I had much to say: My parents immigrated here from South Korea in the late ’90s, and I was born and raised in the U.S. End of story, at least on my end. I recently wondered, however, if my parents have ever been asked this question. Have they — my mom...…
…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Michigan in Color 8 — Wednesday, March 31, 2021 I Do Disclaimer: Though there is still a long way to go, movements that push for marriage equality have swept through Asia in the last decade. It is important that we take an active role in condemning homophobia and discrimination on the basis of gender identity. Note that I use the general terms “bride” and “groom” throughout in reference to m...…

…T he first semester of my se- nior year was, academically, the worst semester of my life. I was enrolled in only six credits but found myself in a deep depression spi- ral, unable to do anything — to focus, do any work, care about my passions like writing and The Michigan Daily, but mostly I couldn’t take good care of myself. Writing and photography are the only things that come naturally to me and are what I want to spend my life...…
…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com 12 — Wednesday, March 31, 2021 statement “They did not mean me when they said disabled” BY MARISA WRIGHT, STATEMENT DEPUTY EDITOR T hey tell me I look so healthy. They tell me I’m just so young. They just cannot believe it. They ask me if I’m really sick, like am I really sure? They ask me if I’ve actually received a diagnosis. They tell me it’s in my head, that it’s psy- chosomatic. They tell ...…
…F or people who write regu- larly, one of the most dis- heartening experiences is that of “writer’s block.” It is an un- pleasant feeling, to say the least. No matter how hard I try, the words do not come. Or, they come in fits and starts, only to be censored before they reach the page. Words, the building blocks of the written product, seem to reside somewhere in my mind. They float around up there, waiting for me to scoop them ...…
…In an extraordinary year, the Michigan hockey team looked like it might make it to the end. Everything the world could have thrown at the Wolverines, it did. An insanely long offseason. An athletic department- wide shutdown. A season-ending injury. At each turn, they’ve proven time and again that they’re capable of playing through unprecedented circumstances. Sitting as a two seed and the No. 8 team in ...…
…“It’s tough.” Those were the words of Michigan coach Kim Barnes Arico in her opening statement after the team’s loss to Baylor. The last shot in Michigan’s historic season was a missed 3-point attempt. Junior wing Leigha Brown had less than one second to get the shot off. Down by three in overtime against Baylor, the shot determined whether the Wolverines’ season ended or if the team would compete in double overtime. She missed...…
…Just like that, the dream ended. Two hours earlier, the Michigan men’s basketball team hoped to be cutting down the nets en route to their second Final Four appearance in four years. Unfortunately for the Wolverines, UCLA had other ideas. Now, in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, a dichotomous visual took shape on the court at Lucas Oil Stadium. On one side, a dejected Michigan team shuffled off the floor and into the ...…
