Freshmen: Is Lowell hard? Did you apply and come here just because your parents made you? Because it’s a good school?
Sophomores: Did you take the chemistry honors test just because you didn’t want to get left behind? Do you absolutely love chemistry?
Juniors: Regret taking APUSH? Did you do it just because everyone else did?
Seniors: Are you taking math this year? Did you do it just because it would look good on your transcript?
Lowellites: Have you ever felt overloaded? Stressed? Even for just one split second, ever wish you could have the “normal” high school experience? Ever wonder what it’d be like to go to Wash? Lincoln?
Think about it.
As “motivated” students, we have so much pressure in our lives. Parents, teachers, friends, ourselves. So many of us take APs and honors in courses we don’t really love, just so we can get into a “good college.” So many of us join clubs and extracurriculars because, hey, I love tutoring, I love debating, but dang, that’s going to look good on my college application too.
All this pressure pushes us to cheat. Other people are getting an unfair advantage, and it seems like everyone is doing it. Plus, you just really need to get that grade in physics.

Lights. Cameras. Music. Winterball this year was nothing short of a glamorous
production. Hundreds of students lined up outside the SFDC Galleria as they awaited
a fun-filled evening with lovers and friends (Usher reference, hollaaa?). The snow-
decorated tables, ambient blue uplighting, and soft fog created the mystical holiday feel
as guests partied the night away. If people weren’t bumping to the beats played by M3
Entertainment’s DJ Rodd and DJ J-Nauks (or swooning by their table), they were over at
the organic ice cream bar catered by Three Twin’s Ice Cream, taking memorable photos
sponsored by Lifetouch, or exploring one of the four floors in the elegant venue. As the
night went on, we even got a chance to watch Mr. IshiBOSShi bust a few moves—what
a way to kick off the holiday season! Having you all there was truly one of the greatest
gifts of all. ☺
Thank You!

The courtyard &arcade was bustling with people on December 17, 2010. After a long week of finals, both students and teachers alike built up an appetite and were ready to eat! With blue tickets in hand, people headed to club booths to fill their stomachs’. Over 30 clubs sold a variety of delicious foods & drinks; everything from freshly grilled burgers, dry ice drinks, and falafels was available. I can’t speak for everyone, but people seemed to be having a great time. Winterfaire was definitely an amazing way to end the first semester & to kick off Winterbreak.

So basically, Winterfaire didn’t turn out as bad as I had expected. The rain totally threw me off because the performances had to be held in the auditorium, and this totally had my balls in a bunch. I also felt the stress from Club Coordinator Miranda Wong because she had to have new table arrangements, so I expected it to be a really bad day. But this was not the case. Thanks to fellow SBC members, they helped me make posters to get the word out that the performances were to be held in the auditorium. Even though I had to run back and forth from the auditorium and catwalk to inform people of this sudden change, everything worked out for the better. Students were allowed to enjoy their foods and drinks, and then stroll to the auditorium and enjoy the performances while sitting down. It was a relaxing atmosphere, and I was glad to see a lot of people come out of their way just to watch the performances. To conclude this blurb, I just want to thank all the people that participated at Winterfaire as dancers, vendors and most importantly, STUDENTS! To all the jerks that skipped school, I shake my head. Hope you guys had fun!!!
