But as a university that’s tasked with emergency management quite frequently, the response from our school should have been better.

Having to choose between gaining experience and making money is not a decision students should be balancing in a society as advanced as ours.

The more we pour into student government, the more they pour back into us.

In America’s white and evangelical haze, we can forget that Black History is American history, but Black Awareness Month, as we at UM call it, is here to make sure that we never forget.

However, revamping and making the experience better will mean nothing if half of the students cannot afford it.

So many times, we’ve seen questions like “What would MLK say or do if he were here today?” and these statements are often ahistorical because King has spoken about inequality of all kinds.

We are calling on the school and administration to extend our reading days. In the past, we were given three full days, but since 2013, they have been cut down.

More people are going to college now than ever before, a result of an increasingly competitive job market that requires at least an undergraduate degree.

There is a bustle to campus that is a result of the changes students and administration have been making to make our school better.

Making UM more accessible is not only good for lower-income students, but it will also enrich our campus culture and lead to an enhanced learning environment for everyone.

It is easy to lose ourselves in the middle of the semester because we are unwell.

We have grossly underestimated the struggle of living with someone who is basically a stranger.
