…Spring commencement is one of the busiest times of the year in Ann Arbor as large crowds visit town to celebrate with the year’s graduating class. For the past two years, commencement has looked a little different: the commencement was canceled in 2020 and was closed to guests in 2021. This year, however, there will be two commencement ceremonies, one for the class of 2022 on April 30 and a special “Comeback Ceremony” for...…

…Arts 4 — Wednesday, April 20, 2022 WHEN I WAS approximately 13 years old I wrote a “The Lord of the Rings” fan- fiction. It never got past three chapters, mostly encompassing the moment Merry and Pippin are captured by Orcs until the rest of the Fellowship find them after The Battle of Isengard. It also never saw the light of day, and now collects dust in a 42 page document on my computer titled “Old Stories” that makes me sick to my ...…

…The sweet, warm scent of pollen is not the only thing that fills the air on campus during April. Along with its arrival comes end-of-school- year stress, fears over what to do after the semester ends and the dreaded backpacking season. After reflecting on the fall semester during course selection, I realized that I felt empty from a lack of music in my life. While I enjoyed the one-credit chamber music class I was taking and felt g...…
…I first encountered the Kerrytown neighborhood when I came to Ann Arbor for freshman orientation in July of 2018. My partner had driven me up to Michigan, and we found a current student to stay with for the night. The house was a mustard color with large curvy windows, as if it were inspired by a funhouse. It had a huge attic and was shaped like no other home I’d ever seen. Many of the rooms looked like they were closets or huge st...…
…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Michigan in Color 8 — Wednesday, April 20, 2022 I’ve been thinking a lot lately on what constitutes a friend. The qualifiers and the levels all associated with it. What distinguishes someone as a true friend versus someone you spend time with? An issue I had in the past (and still suf- fer from) is failure to define, creating the boundaries between different categories of friendship. I consider my...…

…E veryone needs it, but no one wants to ask for it. “Help” has become a sort of dirty word, implying weakness and neediness, that we can’t handle our problems on our own. Using the word “help” has come to mean that you have given in to the obstacles plaguing your life and that you don’t have the strength to carry on by yourself. These implications are commonplace, and they are not only false, but harmful. I will openly admit tha...…
