…I have the same taste in art as my four-year-old niece — I swear I’m not exaggerating. I love Disney movies, and their soundtracks, probably more than her. Hannah Montana (yes, Hannah, not Miley Cyrus) makes her way into my top five most listened to artists every Spotify Wrapped. I will defend Barbie movies until I die. Young adult books dominate 90% of my bookshelf. I frequently rewatch my favorite Disney Channel or Nickelodeo...…
…The first time you came across Rookie’s website, it was already a graveyard. It was March 2020, you had a surplus of free time on your hands, and you were reading interviews with Elizabeth Meriwether, the creator of the sitcom New Girl. Upon first glance, Rookie’s website appeared anything but dead: an online magazine by and for teenagers. Created by Tavi Gevinson in 2011, the vivacious teal-and- white site features thoughtfu...…
…I have never claimed to be a “gamer.” Given that I only ever truly played “Super Mario,” I didn’t feel deserving of the same title that people fluent in “Minecraft,” “The Legend of Zelda” or “Halo” held. I was only familiar with one tiny corner of the gaming world, but I was completely and utterly immersed in it. Every Saturday morning I’d wake up before sunrise and quietly race to the living room. I wanted guaranteed access to ...…
…I am from the East Garfield Park neighborhood on the west side of Chicago, a community struck by decades of disinvest- ment and replete with closed facilities. Blocks away from my home is the high school that witnessed my curiosity and resentment for the world grow. During my preteen years, dif- ferences between my neigh- borhood — where the median income was close to the pover- ty line — and the upper-income neighborhoods surroundi...…
…O n Nov. 4, University of Michigan students filled the Diag as Gov. Gretchen Whitmer stepped out of her campaign bus to rally the young crowd. With her was Pete Buttigieg, U.S. Secretary of Transportation. The next day, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., made his own stop in Ann Arbor, encouraging students to vote for the Democrats in the looming 2022 midterms. Their mission: Get out the college student vote. They succeeded. On Election...…
…W hen “The Kissing Booth 3” came out last year, it became the perfect finale to a horribly- reviewed trilogy, with clips such as this one going viral for how painful they were to watch. This kind of dramatized interpretation of how Generation Z speaks to each other persistently appears in media centered around today’s teenagers as older writers try to grasp how we communicate. As modern TV shows continue to portray the generat...…

…A career in the making, McCarthy’s journey has led him to this point INDIANAPOLIS — J.J. McCarthy’s patented smile seemed to peak just a little bit higher Saturday night. The sophomore quarterback had every reason for his glee: maize and blue confetti blanketed the field at Lucas Oil Stadium, the No. 2 Michigan football team won its second-straight Big Ten title and McCarthy led his team under center to the moment of glory, hoisting th...…
…Wednesday, December 7, 2022 // The Statement — 2 Here marks the clos- ing chapter of a fall semes- ter that, to many University of Michigan students, was characterized by a series of Tinder hook-ups, bouts of religious guilt, the oc- casional trip to University Health Services and a whole lot of “doing it.” We here at The Statement know this because we asked, just as we have done for the past 10 years. Indeed, on this day in 2012,...…
…Sex in the classroom Though they both take up space in our collective conscious- ness, sexual encounters and aca- demic spaces typically reside on opposite ends of the campus spec- trum. It’s what makes this 2006 Daily article about how to have sex in the stacks of Hatcher Graduate Library so entertaining. Though the authors say it’s a rite of passage, the article’s guide to “hav(ing) your ‘O.’ Right between the ‘N’ and ‘P’” has see...…

It was crazy,” she chuck- led uncomf...…
…C OLUMBUS — It feels like a lifetime ago. Last year when the Michigan football team finally broke its decade- long curse against Ohio State, when the Wolverines stormed the snowy streets of Ann Arbor and when Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh deemed it just a “beginning.” It was the Wolverines’ biggest win of the millennium. And on Saturday in Columbus, Michigan did it again. Whenever they needed to, the third- ranked Wolverines (12-0 overal...…

…Over 1,000 people stood outside in the snow and frigid November temperatures Thursday evening, waiting to listen to conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro’s talk at the Rackham Auditorium. The event was hosted by the University of Michigan chapter of Young Americans for Freedom. Shapiro will continue his lecture tour at other campuses throughout the fall. Controversy seized campus as Shapiro — known for his mantra “Facts ...…
…Have you ever wondered how the University of Michigan generates the power to keep the lights on after hours? The University obtains power through both on-campus generation and local utility providers such as DTE and Consumers Energy. However, this process is undergoing changes as the University moves towards carbon neutrality over the next couple of decades. To achieve this, the University has set several goals. The Univers...…
…Content warning: This article discusses violent crimes. IN AUGUST 2021, 22-year-old Gabby Petito — an aspiring social media influencer — went missing while on a cross-country road trip with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie. As the details of her disappearance emerged, panic began to grow around the search for Gabby, until the case earned itself a torrent of media coverage, becoming social media’s latest “whodunit.” Online “detectives” be...…

It may not have non-vegans as enticed, but it has engaged a diverse local community inchin...…

…Throughout his long and illustrious career in meteorology, not everything went to plan for Perry Samson. In fact, he never planned on becoming a meteorologist. He had every intention of becoming a rock star. “But they expect you to have some talent,” Samson said. “Which I thought was unfair.” And he certainly didn’t plan on becoming a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Michigan, he only decided to in...…
…With each tug on a strand of my hair, my confidence grew. The sizzle of the flat iron slowly trans- formed my frizzy, untamable curls, filling me with joy as I felt like I was enhancing my beauty. I would cringe as I saw my natural hair make a reappearance after a show- er. I’d quickly dry myself off, ever rushing to the glorious moment I could straighten it again. The cycle continued throughout middle and high school. I grew up watc...…

…I n the wake of the 2022 midterm elections, Michigan defied expectations of a red wave, reelecting Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and electing both a Democratic state Senate and House for the first time in nearly 40 years (although Democrats did hold the state House about 15 years ago). With this Democratic trifecta in power comes the opportunity to address education, make progress on workers’ rights and better leverage federal funds ...…
…I n the 2022 midterm elections, Michigan voters showed up in record numbers. On campus, students made headlines for waiting up to six hours after the polls closed for last- minute voter registration. And ultimately, voters ushered in a new era of Democratic control in Lansing. This historic shift in the legislature’s makeup is a unique opportunity, which last happened nearly 40 years ago, to bring meaningful change...…
…O n Tuesday, Nov. 8, I stood in line for five hours alongside hundreds of my peers to change my voter registration and cast my vote in the midterm elections. When my friends and I finally made it out of the University of Michigan Museum of Art at 8:15 p.m., breathing in the air of freedom for the first time since 2:30 p.m., all I could think about was how I had wasted five perfectly productive hours of my life. Had I voted e...…

…Rod Moore grew up in Clayton, OH — just an hour’s drive from Columbus — with many of his closest family and friends as Buckeyes fans. While they’ve always supported Michigan’s sophomore safety, they refused to shift their alle- giances in the rivalry for Moore’s first matchup against Ohio State last November. That’s why, in the aftermath of the Wolver- ines’ upset win, Moore couldn’t help but relish in the result. “I was goin...…
…On National Signing Day, Brad Rob- bins didn’t have a scholarship. He wasn’t at a table putting on a hat, he wasn’t on the phone with a coach and he wasn’t taking the day off as some sort of athletic holiday. He was sitting in AP U.S. Government class when he got the news. It came as a text from his sister, Brooke Robbins: Hey, congrats on the scholarship to Michigan! That’s really cool! Surprised, Brad stepped out of clas...…
…The inherenT,, unrelenting work ethic spurring Blake Corum's stardom Even James Corum struggles to put his son’s success into words. He’s asked the question all the time: What’s it like watching Blake? Usually, he shuffles through a slate of buzzwords, calling it a “blessing,” a “joy” and a “dream.” Sometimes, though, he allows himself to think a little deeper. “At the end of the day, it makes me reflect on everything that he’...…
…The door swung open and Denard Robinson introduced himself, offered out his hand and sat down in a second-floor office inside Schem- bechler Hall. Robinson, 32, is dressed in all blue and working on a goatee, still rocking his vintage dreadlocks. Memorabilia spanning yearbooks to bobble- heads are scattered around the room, homages to Michigan football’s lore. Robinson, of course, is an integral part of the program’s rich histor...…
…6 — Thursday, November 17, 2022 As former Michigan defensive coordinator Don Brown once said: There are some football games, and then there are some football f***ing games. The 2016 Michigan-Ohio State game was cer- tainly the latter. “That was one of the coolest environments I ever played in, one of the best games I ever played in,” former Michigan defensive end Chris Worm- ley told The Daily. “...
