LOS ALAMITOS, CA — The 2023-2024 school year is coming to a close as freshmen end their last week and head into finals. To aid with many freshmen’s stress at the end of the year, Link Crew decided to hold one last event for this year’s freshmen! This semester Link Crew organized another unique aspect to their study session for finals after last semester’s hot chocolate study session was a huge success. Upperclassmen Link Crew leaders assisted freshmen as they studied for their finals.
“I think that was a great event to be scheduled at the end of the semester,” said Caleb Heenan, a Link Crew leader. “It gives freshmen the opportunity to study for the finals and also be in an environment where upperclassmen can help them.”
Link Crew even had a bin of candy for any student who was feeling hungry during their time studying. The addition of candy made students feel eager to study and more energetic.
“I got some work done and got all caught up,” said Marilyn Solis, a freshman. “I [also] got candy and that was nice.”
Although past Link Crew events have had lower student attendance than past years, this event had a fair amount of attendees. Many students who attended felt they finally got the opportunity they needed to study for finals.
Everyone [was] studying for finals on their own time. We have a big transition in between last year’s Link Crew and the next year’s Link Crew, so there’s a little discrepancy there, but it’s fine. I think it’s nice that everyone came out.” — Sydney Mastick, Link Crew leader and upcoming president
Freshmen used this opportunity to further help with their finals, making Study with a Buddy a roaring success!
