These concrete trails are hypnotic, tiring, blending into each other. You think you’re making progress, getting closer. But somehow you’re still so far away. You keep driving.

…6A — Wednesday, October 2, 2019 Arts The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com My 2019 New Year’s resolution was to only purchase books written by women. Given the beyond-scary statistics of male authors being published around eight and a half times more frequently than their female counterparts, I recognized the only way to beat the statistic is to support female authors and share their books. Ironically, I’d read Peg Alford Pursell’s d...…

…F resh off the plane back from my study abroad experience in Paris, and standing in front of the mirror in my mother’s bathroom, I took a pair of kitchen scissors and haphazardly cut a fringe, framing the front of my forehead. The bangs were uneven, a little too thick on the right side of my forehead, and very clearly an amateur job — but they immediately made me feel transformed, like a new woman. When my mom saw my handiwork later th...…

…I remember the exact moment in sixth grade when I realized an essay didn’t need to be five paragraphs: Intro, body, body, body and conclusion. It didn’t need to have topic sentences and transitions. I was always taught an essay should be concise and clean. It must be easy on the eye and straightforward — beautiful, even. Those were the rules, but I remember when I realized I was allowed to break them. I think this was one of the mome...…

…Though marijuana has been legalized in one form or another in 47 states and Washington D.C., it is not legal at the federal level. Thus, many depository institutions have been reluctant to engage in business with the cannabis industry for fear of getting penalized by the federal government.

…OL looks to carry improvement As Michigan’s offense entered the season with sky-high expectations, every conversation was rooted in one assumption: The Wolverines would have a steady, reliable offensive line. It was built into the widespread confidence in Shea Patterson’s growth and was the foundation behind the lack of concern in a run game that lost its top two ball- carriers. And the assumption made sense. Everyone except reds...…

…Housing is an ongoing issue that continues to affect stakeholders in the Ann Arbor community. For students, it means pressure to sign leases in early fall, perhaps without a full understanding of their responsibilities as a tenant. The steady growth of student enrollment, an average 2.21 percent in the past two years, exacerbates the issue. Individuals such as Peter Allen, professor at the Ross School of Business and Taubman...…

We’re trying to balance the best interest of students, faculty, staff, and as a public institution, you’re weighing all those things.

When Brown coached at UMass, UConn and Boston College, the first pages of his play...…
