Hi gorgeous Belles! I hope you all are doing well and taking care of yourself! I literally cannot believe it is week 9. Normally winter quarter feels so long, but I feel like it flew by this time. I am so excited for spring break, but also more importantly for the Belles’ Disneyland trip this weekend! I hope you all are doing well and are taking care of yourself! If you ever need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out!

Hi Belles! :) Happy, Lovely Week 9! <3
I hope you all are adjusting well to the end of the quarter and finals week, which is slowly coming around the corner! Last week, I had a whole panic attack thinking that I got sick again, but thankfully, I got in my rest and drowned my whole body with water and tea to help with the sore throat that I had for a day! We’re so good now, YAY! :) I grabbed dinner with a few friends and went to a surprise bday party and a gathering that my former floormates hosted! It was a great time :) Now, I’m starting to work on my final papers because I want to get them out of the way! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you ever want to grab food, chat, hang out, etc! I would love to hear from you!
Sending SOOO much Belle Love to you as always,
- Annalyn! ❀ (213)-214-5340 | social@bruinbelles.com
Hey everyone, how the honk is it the end of the quarter? Huge massive update to anyone following the DC lore…turns out breaking no contact with an ex after 2 years can end in getting back together.
