…Since the start of my childhood, Nov. 1 meant the hanging of a quilt from the stove in my kitchen. It was my mom’s “Thankful Quilt,” decorated with felt leaves, turkeys and other Thanks- giving-esque patches. More importantly, the quilt was lined with little pockets numbered one through 30 — a pocket for each day of the month. And every night, before eating dinner, my mom would have my sister and I write down what we were thankful for ...…
…I was raised to be a firm believer in passion-fueled education and bold aspirations. Coming from a family full of dreamers, I was never told who I could or could not be. My passions have certainly evolved as the years have gone by, but I have been tied to passion- driven endeavors for as long as I can remember. My young mind was convinced that, no matter the field of study, I would pursue a college education rooted in my passions...…
…Seven days without electricity last August delivered me shaking and stimulus-starved on the steps of Viet Thanh Nguyen’s “The Sympathizer.” Hurricane Isaias had taken out most of Connecticut’s electrical infrastructure, along with all contact with the outside world. Only when removed from 21st century comforts could I approach Nguyen’s award-encrusted novel. Nguyen combines historical fiction with spy thriller, fo...…
…T hink about the last time you interrupted someone during class. I won’t judge. Was it because they were taking too long to finish their thought? Did you think of a better argument and decide to jump in? Were you simply asking them to speak louder? Now, think about the last time someone interrupted you. Did it bother you? Did you want to call them out, but were too afraid to speak up? When you tried to speak again, did you forg...…
…Michigan’s national championship hopes just became much more achiev- able. Alongside defenseman Owen Power — who was earlier this week already reported to be returning to Ann Arbor — forwards Kent Johnson and Matty Beniers will come back for their sophomore seasons, the team announced on Twitter.

…F rom its inception in 1917, the debt ceiling has been a major point of contention for lawmakers. Since then, the figure has been raised 78 times since 1960, each occasion serving as a flashpoint for debates over government spending. After much anticipation, we’ve once again reached the debt ceiling, now a whopping $31.4 trillion. This past week, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced her department would have to take e...…

Jack’s pragmatic mind knew enough about my history of anxiety and hypochondria to know that ...…

…Come late November, the Michigan fanbase is used to singing the same melancholy song: There’s always next year. But, as the Wolverines have espoused since the first day of the season, this year — and this team — is different. On Saturday, when Michigan led Ohio State at the half, fans started to believe that it could be true. The 14-13 score was hardly an indication of the dominance to come, but rather a hint that this time, ma...…

And as the ball descended, hitting the rim once...…
…O n Tuesday of Wel- come Week this year, I had dinner alone on my porch. The house I had moved into just a few days earlier was still uncomfortably hot, so I fled to the cool breeze and quiet murmur of the street. Settling into a chair, I watched the world go by in front of me as dusk faded into night. Usually, when I sit still in such a bustling environment, I like to imagine where people are coming from, where they...…

…Sitting behind the podium after the Michigan football team’s win over No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday, Jim Harbaugh took a moment to look around. Usually, his press conferences strike the same somber, frustrated, dejected chords after games against the Buckeyes. But when Harbaugh’s well- documented 0-5 record against his arch rival changed during Saturday’s 42-27 victory, so did No. 5 Michigan’s season outlook. And Harbaugh’s ton...…
…LUKE S kating along the ice in front of Penn State’s bench, Luke Hughes dragged his glove across the ice before jumping into the arms of his teammates. Moments after scoring the go-ahead, 5-4 goal, the sophomore defenseman celebrated as crowd noise threatened to blow the roof off of Yost Ice Arena. Because in front of them, Hughes had just added to one of the greatest performances in college hockey history. Hughes’ four-...…

Next to the five other swimmers lined up on the blocks, I curl my toes and squeeze my hands on the edge of the block when I hear the second whistle. Go.

…W aiting for a financial aid offer is a lot like waiting for a medical diagnosis. The un- known creates a fear so piercing, so all- consuming, that when the anticipated phone call or email finally comes through, holding your fate in a short string of sentences, your life halts for a second. And then, the shock: Maybe it’s a temporary loss of hearing. Maybe your heart begins to race so much you forget to breathe. Maybe you grow li...…

…I like to joke that I-94 and I-80 are my second homes. I’ve spent thousands of miles on them, miles that trade scenery for ease — hop on and drive, no directions needed.

It was accompanied by a symphony of other warning lights who came and went as they pleased. My brain felt a lot like that dashboard...…
