Just a bit of advice on how to survive here at CRHS.

1. Be positive in the morning unless you want Ms. Mattei to nail your bunzi to the wall!
2. Treat the hallway like a highway. Walk on the right side of the “road” (a.k.a. hallway). Please try not to stand in the middle of the hall talking with your friends. Three minutes is already a short amount of time without having to make detours!
3. Join a club! It is a great way to make new friends and explore your interests. Also, they’re a good thing to have on college applications. (But that shouldn’t be the only reason you join one…)
4. Go to sporting events! They are all really fun, and the more the merrier. From football games to volleyball games to cross country meets to soccer games, we’ve got something for everyone to enjoy. Go Blue Devils!
5. Do your homework. It is assigned to you to reinforce or introduce the material the teachers are teaching you. Most homework is also designed to help you do well on future assessments. This is why it is a good idea to go back and review your assignments before a test.
6. Don’t stress. It just simply isn’t worth it.
7. If you need help, don’t hesitate to ask one of the upperclassmen! We don’t bite.. unless we haven’t had our coffee…
8. Don’t procrastinate! Netflix will always be there…
9. Stay organized! Organization is the key to success, especially in school, but also can be applied in the real world . I personally like to have a different color binder for each class and I also order my papers by date. You should find a system that works for you.
10. The biggest tip I have for you is just to be yourself! Don’t try to fit the “status quo”. Follow Oscar Wilde’s famous words, “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
