Snacking the Right Way
by Anastasia Shmukler | January 2010
Coming back to school after the holidays is a difficult task for many students due to the sudden overwhelming amount of work to do and their mixed up sleeping cycles. To get through the long days and nights of school, the after school activities, and the study sessions at night, students tend to turn to [...]
Seniors on the Slopes
by Elaine Xiang | January 2010
The idea of organizing a senior ski trip began around late November. Tired of going on family trips to Sunday River or Killington, I thought that the idea of going on a trip with my classmates would be appealing. I spoke to a couple of my close friends who thought it was important to bond [...]

The Worries of a Freshman
by Joyce Zhu | October 2009
As freshmen, we enter Acton-Boxborough Regional High School with anxiety, but it does not make sense that our primary worry is what the upperclassmen think of us. It would be rather ridiculous if we were to spend our days fretting about giant seniors; quite frankly, some of them are actually pretty short.
What most freshmen are [...]

Spearheaded by the incumbent Editor-in-Chief Songyao Wang and advisors Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Telicki, the Idiosyncrasy team submitted their magazine to the American Scholastic Press [...]
