![Throughout quarantine, in an effort to find motivation, freshman Madelyn Wu and her friends have been having Zoom calls. During these meetings, they do a range of things from discussing general topics to Secret Santa gift exchanges.
“I have this group of friends and we call every week,” Wu said. “I feel like that motivates me because we talk to each other about our problems and they give me feedback. [The feedback] really helps me to get through the week and get the assignments completed. I think it's just having someone who's experiencing everything along with you that helps me. They know what I'm going through, so they can give you advice based on their own experiences and that sort of helps us all understand each other.”
