You might be a UMich NPC

Nov 1, 2024 | michigandaily.com | Max Feldman

Something dawned on me when I was people watching in the Diag last week. I was sitting on one of those concrete slabs that border the block ‘M,’ gazing blissfully at the crowds of students walking by. As I watched them angle their movements to avoid stepping on the ‘M,’ it occurred to me that not one of them had the faintest idea that I was thinking about them in my head. To them, I was just another student on campus, a fixture in the background on their way to class. To them, I was an NPC.
Struggling with college? Go back to kindergarten

Oct 16, 2024 | michigandaily.com | Max Feldman

For the better part of our early lives, our identities are intertwined with our learning institutions, defining what we spend our time on, who we meet and how we grow. The average American spends 13.3 years of their life in formal education, and students actively pursuing higher education are likely to be above that average.
Cars are dividing our campus

Sep 20, 2024 | michigandaily.com | Max Feldman

It is, to a certain extent, true that the amount one can do at the University of Michigan depends on their ability to move freely around Ann Arbor. The easier you can travel between classes, extracurriculars, jobs, events, stores and parties, the more you can experience in your limited time here. This makes whether or not you have a car one of the most significant social dividers on campus, comparable to your class or hometown.

Something changes in you when you start your junior year of college. It’s hard to pinpoint when it started or where it originated, but you can feel it. There’s a tinge of anxiety and restlessness seeping into conversations with friends, in your classrooms and on your social media timelines. If you’re a newly-minted upperclassman like myself, you might know what I’m talking about.
What to do if you don’t have an internship this summer

Apr 23, 2024 | michigandaily.com | Max Feldman

I’m sure you’ve seen hundreds of summer internship announcement posts on LinkedIn. They seem endless — especially if you don’t have a clue what you’re doing this summer. Despite what it may feel like, less than half of college students are actually able to secure one of these coveted summer gigs. Summer internships can be significant professional stepping stones.

We’re in the same place we were when the pandemic began

Mar 26, 2024 | michigandaily.com | Max Feldman

Four years ago, the trajectory of our lives changed forever. COVID-19 was officially declared a national emergency in March of 2020, leading to the shutdown of thousands of American schools and a hole being ripped out of the high school experience for millions. Lockdown forced us into social isolation for years, the American economy was devastated and more than 1 million Americans died from the virus.
Why a fractured Ann Arbor is good for UMich students

With 73% of University of Michigan students living off campus, much of the U-M college experience isn’t happening in the Diag, but around it. This might sound like an overstatement, especially when it seems like we spend so much time on campus. However, where you choose to live in Ann Arbor is perhaps the most important decision you’ll make as a U-M student if you want the campus social scene to be attainable. The idea that where you live impacts your life is a bit of a no-brainer.

Feb 6, 2024 | michigandaily.com | Max Feldman

As of Jan. 30, you can no longer drop a class without it appearing on your transcript. That means, as far as the University of Michigan is concerned, that class schedule you chose way back in November is going to leave a mark. But the impact of our courses goes far beyond academic records. The classes we choose and the schedules we create have a major effect on the people we interact with and the rhythm of our weeks.
