…Additionally, separating Order membership from editing responsibility still hurts our ability to report on Order, as groups opposed to Order will nonetheless decline to talk to Daily reporters who are not in Order, which The Daily experienced as recently as 2019. Importantly, knowing that journalism aims to “comfort the afflicted, afflict the comfortable,” Daily membership in Order hurts our ability to build trust with and am...…

…In light of Valentine’s Day, our MiC editors asked us to each write a piece on love. I had to sit and think about what, even in all of my incredibly extensive experience and expertise, I could possibly draw from. But as I sat with myself in silly embarrassment and contemplation, I realized I would be lying if I said I hadn’t felt a tremendous amount of love this past year and even in the last few weeks. I have felt love even, and esp...…

…The “First Time” Maybe a friend sends it to you with a little text saying “thought you’d like this!!” that instantly makes your chest balloon. Or maybe it comes up on a Spotify radio station or playlist. Perhaps it intrigues you from the depths of a book passage. It’s possible you choose it because the album art looked interesting. Maybe it means a lot instantly. Maybe it takes a second to settle in, finding the perfect way to inh...…

…April 12, 2020 What does a pandemic look like? F or me, it’s a monotony of days peppered with bouts of depres- sion in the apartment my grand- parents pay for and waves of overwhelm- ing guilt and helplessness. Neither are productive emotions in a pandemic. There are also good days, where the sun is out and my coffee tastes just right, and I remember that this is only temporary. I live alone, though a friend lives up- stairs. I never ...…

…W hen I was in kindergarten, I had mandatory Quiet Time in my room every day after school for an hour. I could play with my toys or look at books or color, but I was not to disturb my mom un- less I needed something important. Needless to say, I was not a big fan of Quiet Time when the policy was first put into place, and I protested. Loudly. And daily. But my mother is an incredibly smart woman, and she quickly figured out how to ...…
…T he first time someone referred to me as an alien, I laughed. I did not have a big, bald head. My skin wasn’t green and my eyes, while on the large side, looked quite normal to me. The word “alien” followed me around for years. In America, because of my immigration status, I was as extraterrestrial as Zoe Saldana in “Avatar.” Therefore, when confronted with the question, “What does an alien look like?” in a freshman seminar, m...…

After nearly a year of dancing between hybrid classes and fully online ones — the uncertainty often coupled with an increased workload and isolation — remote work might seem like a tough sell.

…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Sports Wednesday, February 24, 2021 — 15 COLUMBUS — Something had to give. Entering Sunday, the Michigan men’s basketball team boasted the nation’s seventh-best defense. Ohio State, meanwhile, owned the third-best offense. In a battle of Big Ten heavyweights, the Buckeye attack proved potent. Yet, the Wolverine offense matched Ohio State punch for punch, rising to the occasion and ...…
…In the halftime locker room during the Michigan men’s basketball team’s game against Ohio State, senior wing Chaundee Brown had one message for Michigan coach Juwan Howard: “Go to Hunter.” In their biggest game of the year, the Wolverines shouldered their offensive load onto freshman center Hunter Dickinson. Putting that kind of pressure on any freshman will undoubtedly lead to a few butterflies. At this point in hi...…
