…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Arts 4 — Wednesday, October 19, 2022 Look, I’m not here to argue that Jar-Jar Binks (Ahmed Best, “Alabama Jackson”) is the best character in Star Wars. I’m not even going to argue he’s a great character in Star Wars.

As I perused Audible for a nonfiction book, “Greenlights” caught my eye — not because I’m a diehard McConaughey fan, but because I had seen it circulating Bookstagram and BookTok and decided to give it a go. This was two years ago. I’ve read McConaughey’s memoir six times since. The following statement is probably going to haunt me forever, bu...…

…Last month, I applied to a study abroad program in Paris and had to fill out an application with an “activities” section. My heart sank. I got the same feeling as when a professor, attempting an icebreaker, asks: “What do you like to do for fun?” To be truthful, what I like to do for fun is send TikToks to my roommates as they sit right next to me doing the same, but that didn’t seem like an acceptable answer to present to my uppe...…
