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...…

…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.

…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.
