…T he ’90s were filled with bizarre weight loss trends. From Fletcherism to eating a grapefruit at every meal, people pursued a variety of strategies to shed some extra pounds.

Going to work with ankle weights, a ...…

…T he muezzin’s call rang out over the masjid speakers, reciting the Islamic kalima, or statement of faith, and my mother grabbed my hand as we separated from my father and brother to answer the call to prayer. It was one of the occasional times my family went to our mosque in Miami, but at age eight, I was already aware that we were walking to the women’s section behind the men’s, separated by a row of dividers across the middle o...…
…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....…
…From a young age, I always felt ashamed of my native tongue and heritage. It all came from a whirl of feeling physi- cally insecure and verbally lost. Every morning, as the sun peeked through my window, I hid away the rich language my parents had gifted me since birth. I locked it in a mental vault, fearing the disapproving glances and wrinkled noses of my classmates. At school, my appearance was different than most because of my ...…

…B etween the first floor and the eighth, my mother lived out her dreams with another man. Those twenty seconds of elevator time stretched into an entire lifespan as I watched her look into the eyes of her silver-haired, white-linen- wearing would-be lover and imagine what would be different if he was hers, or if the two of them strode off the elevator and down the endless shoreline just outside the hotel. It was odd to see her disarme...…
…Wednesday, April 15, 2020 // The Statement 6B W here are you from?” is a hard question for me to answer. “Do you mean, where do I live right now?” is usually my most common rebuttal. I don’t mean to be difficult, I just want to provide an honest response. For me, it’s tricky to stick to a consistent story, and I try not to get too bogged down in the details. Before I turned 18, I had already lived in 12 different houses and...…

…Content warning: mentions of gun violence. O n the morning of April 17, 1981 — Good Friday — I awoke in my dorm room to the clanging of the fire alarm at the un-student-like hour of 6 a.m. Like most college students, I scoffed at the interruption. I wasn’t prepared to pull myself from a morning’s sleep, so I listened for footsteps or slamming doors out in the hallway, as if my fellow students’ behavior was ever any sort of barome...…
