…Ah, summer vacation. The sacred three- month period of underpaid jobs, midday naps and in all honesty, too much TV. Although some may find this assessment pessimistic, it’s an accurate summary of my past two summers (minus being able to secure a job — sorry Mom). Last summer, constrained from most productive activities by the pandemic and low personal funds, I opted to embrace the latter pursuit of TV-watching. My program of choice...…
…In one of my clearest childhood memories, I’m standing in the wings of a stage. I’m eight years old and I’m a little out of breath, having just sprinted from the dressing room to the stage. I’m nervously rolling and unrolling a comic book — my only prop, which I took very seriously — in my hands as I wait for the lights to go down and the scene to transition. The last note of a song rings through the theater, the spotlights turn of...…

I was in my bathroom, trying to calm myself down and stop the moisture overpowering my eyes.

…T his March, outcry arose during the NCAA March Madness tour- nament when Sedona Prince, a forward for the Oregon Ducks women’s basketball team, posted a TikTok compar- ing her team’s weight room to that of their male counterparts.

…B ack in September, when the University of Michigan announced there would no longer be a spring break for students and faculty, I figured I would be fine. COVID-19 did not appear to be slowing down anytime soon and, with the semester concluding on April 30, I would benefit more from an extended summer than a week in March. All in all, it seemed to be a good deal. After the fall semester, I was drained. The transition fr...…

It flashes between Pin-Jui’s elderly self, played excellently by Tzi Ma (“Arrival”) and his memories — ch...…
