…I can already hear my sister’s response to this column: “WE GET IT SYLVANNA, YOU’RE GRADU- ATING EARLY.” My younger sister, Phoebe, is probably happy I started off with a blatant acceptance of how humble- brag this space can get. So there you go, Phoebe. This is my public accep- tance that I, Sylvanna Leah Gross, am kind of an asshole. Moving forward. This space is meant to be a com- ment on how every senior is in this weird limbo ...…

…C oming into college, it’s safe to assume you’ll have a group assignment or two. They can go in many directions: some nice, others painful. In my experience, everyone just wants to get the work done as quickly as possible — with as few conflicts as possible. More motivated members pick up the slack for the less motivated ones, and so the vicious cycle of disdain toward group projects begins. Last year when an assignment in one of ...…

He emailed me upon his arrival — stating where exactly he was sitting — and he made sure to be accommodating, suggesting we move away from the noise of the coffee shop to ensure a clearer recording. He must have picked up my nervous, slightly unsure demeanor, as he ...…

…I am sitting on the bottom stair in February of 2016, glancing at the nearby door to my house, waiting to hear the knock. This is not only my first Tinder date, but my first date in my life. I hear a faint stirring, then steps, and I know she is here. It’s midnight, because that’s the only time we could meet up. We have messaged back and forth for a couple days, first on Tinder, then on Facebook Messenger. Our con- versations flow n...…

…Wednesday, September 28, 2016 // The Statement 7B by Lydia Murray, Daily Staff Reporter I’ve Moved Around a Lot A s someone who dreads the inevitable question of “Where are you from?” I’ve learned a crafty answer to the complicated question. For people I will never see again, I’ll say I’m from Michigan, citing a city I lived in for at least a year or two. Sometimes, if I’m feel- ing bold, I’ll lie and make up a hometown, usually a pl...…

…As a kid, I soaked up television like a sponge. I spent a lot of time watching Nickelodeon, (“Spongebob” is the best show, don’t @ me), but don’t worry — I watched the educational PBS shows too. All media geared toward children is very fun and friendly, but as I got older and transitioned away from cartoons, the media started to feel more like it wanted to be my enemy instead of my friend. For the new target audience that I j...…

…Soon, sooner than most of us posters, scrollers, refreshers and general internet lurkers would like, Twitter is going to up its character count to 280 — double the current limit. And while that increases potential for memes and political screaming, it also affects a community of poets who use Twitter as their primary means of publication. When Twitter first appeared on the web 11 years ago it was a space to talk about ...…

There’s an intentional and maintained level of anonymity that feels very akin to the mythic recluses and anonymously published poets of the print canon. And online, a community has formed.

…Cyrus Tetteh had grown tired of the feeling that his grades in the classroom were determining his value, and he wanted to do something about it. He started thinking about ways that he could create a platform for himself, and ultimately decided that he wanted to share his creative vision with others in the form of a clothing brand: Cool Club Clothing. I had the opportunity to sit down with Tetteh, a 2015 alum, and reflect on ...…

…Since 2006, the University of Michigan has been running what it calls a “natural experiment” in race-neutral admissions. Following a 2006 statewide vote that banned affirmative action in the state’s public universities, the University radically shifted its admissions procedures for the first time since 1963 by removing race from the admission process. On Oct. 31, the Supreme Court will hear the lawsuits brought by Stude...…

And yet, over the past five years, I have found myself shamelessly entranced by “American Horror Story” (AHS). From its debut season “Murder House” to the fan-favorite “Coven” to the most recent “Double Feature,” I have seen it all. “AHS” became ...…

…I like to joke that I came into college as an idealistic liberal arts student and came out with a job in big tech. One day I was taking classes in political theory, philosophy and English rhetoric.

I have friends who started as compassionate pre-med students but became consultants; I know engineers who had high am...…

…I n 2021, the Ann Arbor City Council voted to zone newly annexed residential neighborhoods for single-family use. The same year, the state of California effectively banned single- family zoning when the Legislature passed a bill that allows homeowners to subdivide their property into two lots and build two homes on each of those lots. California took a step in the right direction; Ann Arbor did not. Single-family zo...…
