Actor. Athlete. A millionaire. Who would you trade places with for a day? Or would CCHS students trade at all?

            “I love who I am and love living my life how I live it,” said sophomore Cody Kelley. “Therefore if I could be someone else, I wouldn’t.”

“There are a lot of people who are interesting to me, but I would never want to be someone else even for just a day,” said English teacher Michelle Janota. “I am who I am and I’m very blessed.”

Some CCHS students decided that they would trade places with someone they see everyday.

“I would be a senior because I want to know what it feels like to be ‘top dog’ for a day,” said sophomore Kiara Lucero. “I also want to know the feeling of almost being done with high school.”

Who wouldn’t want to be rich and famous?
“I would definitely be Oprah!” said senior Rachel Molder. “She is the richest woman and I would be able to inspire people from all over the world, also I would have my own television show on my own network.”

“Carrie Underwood is gorgeous and has a really pretty voice,” said junior Brooklyn Schwab. “She is who I would be because then I would be able to sing amazingly.”

“I want to be a great basketball player, rich and famous,” said junior Josh Settelmeyer. “I would be Lebron James.”

“It would be fun to be a lot of different people for a day,” said junior Alex Guicho. “But if I had to choose, I would be Dwayne Johnson also known as The Rock, not the wrestler but the actor. He’s so rich and famous and plus he’s a tank.”

“Johnny Depp is who I would be. He plays piano and he is rich,” said senior Kenyon Muirhead. “He is the most beautiful man in the world. I would be able to seduce any woman from all over. He is the 21^st century’s Jesus.”

From being someone they see everyday to being rich and famous, maybe the bottom line is everyone should just be the best they can be.

With the first semester coming to a close, nights are spent cramming for finals and last minute DSPA’s,  and wishing you had just one more week to study. The end of a semester is a relief, but can be a definite pain.

“Some of my classes don’t have finals, but it seems like all the teachers are cramming all the DSPA’s into the last week,” said senior Hannah Miller.

“When I was in high school and college, our tests were scheduled at certain times of the day for certain classes.” said sophomore chemistry teacher Barb Eckhardt. “If your class didn’t have finals, you didn’t have to go,”.

Let the nail biting begin. Being nervous is a common feeling when you’re faced with a test, just like the feeling of being stressed out.

“Out of chemistry and English, chemistry is harder. I’m way more nervous for chemistry,” said sophomore Beau Nutting. “Chemistry is stupid. I really can’t wait till it’s over.”

“Out of English and math, I’m more really more nervous for English,” said sophomore Alex Germann.

“The last week can be stressful for me. It’s possible that I’ve made a mistake on a test that I can’t fix now,” added Eckhardt.

Studying can be made easier with study guides, note cards, and most definitely,  friends.

“I like to use study guides. Studying is actually really helpful if you do it right,” said Nutting.

“To effectively study, you have to learn how to use your notes and textbook. It really helps,” said Eckhardt. “Actually reading your textbook is important.”

“Finals are intimidating, but if you just set aside time to study, it’s not as stressful,” said Miller.

If you should find yourself in a bind during semester’s end, remember to keep calm and keep studying.

If you were to win a million dollars, what would you do with it? Would you save it? Would you give it away to a charity, or would you spend it on yourself?

Many students at Campbell County High School would love to win a million dollars, but they all have different ways of how they would use it.

“I would take a bunch of vacations because I love to travel,” said senior Bri Swenson. She’s not the only one who would like to take a vacation to anywhere far away.

“If I won a million dollars, I would travel to a bunch of different Spanish speaking countries,” said Spanish teacher, Jaime Basham.

Would you consider your family? Sophomores Sydney Matheny and Ashley Mooren are. “I would split the money between my family and friends because giving is better than receiving,” said Mooren, Basham, and Matheny.

“The million dollars could go a long ways. That’s why I would share some with my friends and family,” said Matheny.

“A million dollars is a lot.” ”It’s too much to even think about, said Basham, but I would definitely give some to my parents.”

When people think of a million dollars, their minds seem to explode when they get asked what they would do with it.

Junior Dillan Shepherd and sophomore Nolan Thomas would both purchase merchandise for themselves. “I would buy myself a new car and a big house,” said Shepard.

“I would invest in the stock market,” said Thomas.

Shepard and Thomas aren’t alone. “Getting a new car is the first thing I would do,” said junior Alexis Wolf.

Some people at Campbell County High School believe that saving most of it would be the best thing to do.

“The bank is most likely where the rest of my money would go,” said Thomas.

“After I get done paying my school loans off, the rest of the money would be put into a savings account,” said Basham.

Giving money to charities is such a great thing to do and surprisingly there are a lot of students in our school who would donate.

“Donating to a charity is definitely where some of my money would go,” said sophomore Ashlee Scott.

“Some of the money that I would win would go to charity,” said junior Brooklyn Schwab. “They would need it more than me.”

Winning a million dollars isn’t the first thing you would think about, but what if you did? What would YOU do with it?

            There are over 900 channels on TV, but they all come with a high price. Netflix, at only $7.99 a month, has an over supply of movies and TV series, and with no commercials. It is no wonder that so many people at Campbell County High School are switching to Netflix.

            “I like watching movies from Netflix,” said junior Rachel Shlautmann. “It’s a lot cheaper than going out to the movie theatres.”

“I love watching scary movies on Netflix. You can watch almost any movie you want,” said junior Jenna Nelson.

            “I get Netflix in the mail and it comes really quick,” said junior Kianna Broeker. “There are thousands of movies to choose from and I don’t have to worry about raking it back to the box or receiving a fine for late fees.”

Some students and staff not only watch movies, they also watch a variety of their favorite TV series.

“I watch everything on Netflix,” said senior Kelsey Lunberg. “I watch Prison Break and The Walking Dead. I like being able to watch anything I want on Netflix.”

“I watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia on Netflix. I use it a lot,” said student math teacher Mr. Schaneman. “The only thing I don’t like is how the price has doubled for the disks.”

A few students have agreed that Netflix may need to update their movie selections to be more recent.

“I try to watch movies on Netflix, but the ones I try to search for don’t always show up,” said junior Baylie Shrake.

            “I use Netflix and watch movies on it like Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, but I really wish they would have more choices or newer ones to watch,” said sophomore Hailee Steele.

            The majority of people from Campbell County High School enjoy watching movies and TV series on Netflix.
