		<description><![CDATA[Prom 2013 &#8211; this year was the first year that junior and senior prom were combined. The results were awesome, at least in my opinion. Everyone looked beautiful, and although the skies were cloudy and there was some sprinkling, people were able to take pictures outside. It makes you wonder how many Facebook albums are titled “Prom” every year! My prom experience was, as mentioned before, a good one. There was some trouble with the boutonniere and corsage, I’m not going to lie. My wrist was too small for the super-cool snap on the corsage (you know, the snap bracelets you used to have in elementary school), so we spent some time scouring for duct tape. The boutonniere was also a struggle, even with previously-watched how-to Youtube videos. Finally, most of the pictures ended up with me half-slouched, trying to  keep my dress in the right place, while the rest involved some minor hair disfunction. But those were the dilemmas &#8211; they weren’t even real problems. Prom was a blast. There were many complaints that the DJ was the worst part of prom. There were a few skips in some songs, and other songs that would have been best left [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Wednesday, April 10, various students in Chinese 2, 3, 4, and 5, some Honors, gathered on the greens outside Concord Carlisle High School to bid their parents goodbye. The sixteen students -Abby Wilcox &#8217;14, Tobias Harvey &#8217;14, Sam Bartlett &#8217;14, Joseph Waksman &#8217;14, Jamie Moore &#8217;13, Michael Makivic &#8217;13, Helen Wargelin &#8217;16, Julia Fritz-Endres &#8217;16, Matt Gorecki &#8217;16, MacKenzie King &#8217;16,  Catherine Gladstone &#8217;16, Aiden Ernesti &#8217;15, Victoria Henning &#8217;16, Paris-Olivia Clachar &#8217;16, Harriet Smith &#8217;16, and Wilson Indermuehle &#8217;15- and two teachers -Jean Lee and Melissa Henneberry- prepared themselves for a trip of a lifetime &#8211; 你好 (hello) to China! The exchange program hit four cities: Hangzhou, Xi&#8217;an, Beijing, and Shanghai. Students from China went to America earlier in February and did a similar exchange program to different US cities.  Our CCHS students left for Logan after school on Wednesday before break. Then, when they got to Logan, their flight was delayed so they took off later than expected to Chicago and subsequently missed their connecting flight to Beijing. The group of students had to spend the night in the airport and wait until 9PM the following night for the next flight to Beijing. That meant a 22-hour [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is rare that high school politics are the highlight of hallway gossip but with the recent, unprecedented tie-breaker for the upcoming senior Senator election, elections have taken a turn from an annual, lack luster procedure to something slightly more nail biting. In the words of Senate Moderator Vineet Chandra&#8217;14, &#8220;Congratulations to now two-term Senator Anna Ringheiser on winning the hard fought (and unprecedented) tie-breaker election,&#8221; and &#8220;We wish Stevie Yang the very best going forward, and are certain that she will continue to play a role in school-wide issues in the months to come.&#8221;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this year, I was watching a group of six year old boys play ice hockey, because my hockey practice ended about half an hour earlier, but there was a sale at Macy’s, which meant that it would take at least another one or two hours before my mom picked me up and took me home. That was okay; the game was quite entertaining. The puck would move to one side of the ice, and all you could see was a sea of white jerseys and a sea of red jerseys swarm to the puck. A few kids would fall, some didn’t know how to stop, but overall, it was nice&#8230;that is, until one of the little boys tripped over another boy’s stick, and his mother, at least I would hope she was his mother, seemed to think that she had just witnessed a great injustice and proceeded to yell at the top of her lungs. She called the referee an &#8220;IDIOT!!&#8221; and used some language that I’m pretty sure would get me in trouble if I repeated it. As the woman was escorted out of the rink by a police officer, I thought “What a good parent.” Because, when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In case you didn&#8217;t realize, the Two Weeks of Horror &#8211; otherwise known as the two weeks spanning AP testing &#8211; began May 6 and will end May 17. Some students, like Isaac Xia &#8217;14, are loading up on the APs. Xia is taking eight AP exams as a junior, and Catherine Liu &#8217;13 remarked that &#8220;he&#8217;s going to run out of AP stickers!&#8221; For those of you who are fortunately not in the know, each student taking APs gets a booklet of eighteen AP stickers, and each test uses up two with an additional two needed for paperwork. Xia is pushing the limit. However, many students aren&#8217;t as ambitious as Xia. Most students at Concord Carlisle don&#8217;t take APs, and those who do usually bite off pieces that are easier to chew. I took two APs this year &#8211; English Language and Composition as well as Biology &#8211; and neither were quite as bad as I was making them out to be. Jamie Moore &#8217;13 said, &#8220;[the multiple choice of the English Language exam] is basically like the SAT or MCAS!&#8221; I wouldn&#8217;t go that far, but it wasn&#8217;t nearly as difficult as I feared. I spent the hour [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ann Tran:  My top picks are The Great Gatsby, Looking for Alaska, and The Catcher in the Rye.  I think all these writers know the little corners of my soul.  These books pull on your heartstrings and make you feel really depressed, really happy, or both at the same time. Jessica Lu:  I absolutely love Cloud Atlas.  But I also am a fan of anything by John Green or Kurt Vonnegut.  John Green is just perfect.  His writing is so touching and insightful, but also really funny.  Kurt Vonnegut&#8217;s good if you&#8217;re looking for biting satire.  And Cloud Atlas has a really intricate plot, while raising a lot of thought-provoking questions.  I had a mild existential crisis after reading it, but in a good way if that makes sense. Cynthia Chen:  I&#8217;m obsessed with A Thousand Splendid Suns. It makes me appreciate my life and all of the opportunities in western culture so much more, and what made it better was that it was all told through eyes of a young, innocent girl. Jonathan Severns:  I just read The Year of Living Biblically, and it&#8217;s absolutely hilarious.  I recommend this book if you&#8217;re looking to relax with some good humor.

		<description><![CDATA[CC students recently took a trip to France for two weeks in mid-April. Prior to the trip to France, some students expressed some worries. “I was worried about the language barrier,” says Cecelia Spiers ’14, “and also how it would be at my host family&#8217;s house.” Other students expressed some concern about the weather, prior to their trip, because “we were told it would be pretty unpredictable,” states Monica Lyons ’14. Students were also very excited about visiting France, specifically seeing all of the iconic French sights &#8211; for instance, the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe &#8211; and embracing French cuisine by going to bakeries every day and eating fresh bread or croissants. “My favorite part was when we went biking around the Chateau de Versailles. It was a beautiful day, the gardens were beautiful, and afterwards we got crepes!” states Spiers. The students also really enjoyed visiting many well-known places like the Musée d&#8217;Orsay, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Bateau Mouche. After staying with French high school students and going to a high school in Versailles, many CC students were surprised by some of the differences between France and America. “I think that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My desk at home is situated so it is right next to a large window overlooking my yard.  Consequently, when I do my homework, I often relax to the sounds of nature filling my ears, that is, until the buzz of an incoming text or the ping of a Facebook notification interrupts me.  As I’m sure you know, even after the momentary distraction of the initial notification, there is no choice but to text the person back or see what is going on on Facebook or Twitter. These sessions often last at least a few minutes and this time can add up to a considerable length of time over the course of a homework or study session.  Therefore, since none of us want to spend more time than we have to chained to our books, here are some tips to limit distractions and streamline schoolwork.  Clearly, the most effective way to render distractions irrelevant is to remove the vehicles on which they are delivered i.e. phone/laptop.  Therefore, if possible, a good solution is giving your electronics to your parents or any other trusted person for the duration of your homework time.  I have found that if the device isn’t there, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let’s make a pact: if we settle down and have kids, we’ll all be Tiger Moms. I mean, think about it. I don’t know about you, but when I visited Harvard, Yale, and MIT, there were a LOT of Asians. And, we all know who raises those over-achieving Asian students: Tiger Moms. If you don’t know what a Tiger Mom is, don’t worry. I’ve got you. A Tiger Mom, often Asian, is a mother &#8211; or really any parent &#8211; who pushes their child to succeed by using some&#8230; unorthodox methods. Amy Chua, the Yale law professor who coined the term, raised her children on a regimen of no playdates, no TV, no computer games and hours of music practice. She is an extremely strict and sometimes harsh parent, but hey, her daughter Sophia got admitted into Harvard and Yale, so there’s no arguing with her success. And so what if plenty of students are accepted to those schools without any tiger-like parenting? Chua got the job done. So, how did she accomplish this feat? Lucky for us, she wrote a whole book describing her parenting techniques. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother chronicles her parenting style and makes the case [...]]]></description>
