Michael Hage living up to the hype early for Michigan
Michael Hage has been everywhere. When the freshman forward wasn’t scoring or assisting on goals for the No. 10 Michigan hockey team against Minnesota State over the weekend, he was directing play with the patience of a veteran. Weaving through opposing players with ease, Hage found passing lanes that no one else could. For the first two games of his...
Dusty May and assistant coaches, setting Michigan culture
After a large outflow of players from last season, it’s easy to get caught up with the 11 newcomers that joined the Michigan men’s basketball team’s roster during the offseason. With a combination of freshman recruits and transfer-portal pulls, Wolverines coach Dusty May made it clear that his intention was to set an immediate high standard by bringing...
The paradox in encouraging unity whilst isolating pro-Palestinians and Muslims
“Students, faculty and staff: This past year, there have been innumerable events locally and globally that have felt overwhelming and unsettling to many in our community. As tensions in the Middle East have escalated in recent days, it is more important than ever that we work collectively to offer solace and safety to one another,” University of Michigan...

Pigeons deserve better! Trust me, I fed one.
Pigeons: we know them, but do we love them? Historically, yes. Currently, no.

My mother prays sitting down now. When I speak that simple fact, when I think it, it is full of desperation and self-resentment. My mother prays sitting down now — I can’t quite believe it myself either. Muslims pray five times per day in different intervals called Fajr, Duhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The prayer names translate to dawn,...
Exploring (and building) the depths of Wikipedia
After a long day of yelling obscenities at a Michigan football game, I quietly retreat to my messy, dimly-lit room. Laying on my bed, covered in my sheets, I open up Wikipedia. There, I read up on the newly-created page for Dominic Zvada, Michigan’s starting kicker and, in my opinion, one of the best players on our new...
My grievances with the University’s sprinklers
Late at night, as twilight descends upon the streets of Ann Arbor and students shuffle wearily home from long study sessions, the soft trickle of water on concrete can be heard across campus — it’s the University of Michigan’s sprinklers hard at work. Hundreds of them operate under the cover of darkness to unobtrusively sustain the University’s vast...
Hazel
My mom told me recently that getting Hazel (our dog, a tiny brown toy poodle) has made my dad gentler. It’s true. He baby talks to her, takes time out of his day to walk her and talks about her all the time. Upon hearing this, there was a gut reaction of jealousy. The dog coincidentally joining our...
