I really do doubt that anyone reads this but if you do, hello! Spring quarter is halfway over. What. I need more sunny days and beach trips but the weather has been sad and Santa Monica parking makes me want to cry. I had a crap ton of midterms last week but now I have one singular week before I go back to more. I hope you are all doing swell, please reach out if you want to grab dinner or chat or anything :)
Belle love, Sarah <3
Hi Belles! <3 Happy Week 6 :)
I hope you're doing well, staying safe, and feeling healthy. It meant the world to me to share my Belles Spotlight with you during GM last week :,) I’ve never been that open in front of a large group before, and it truly touched my heart to be able to share my story with you. I know sometimes social media—or even just seeing someone always smiling—can make life look perfect. But as I shared, there’s often so much more beneath the surface. If you’re going through something hard right now, please know you're not alone. Things will get better—trust me. ♡ And if you ever need someone to talk to, I’m always just a message away—even after I graduate. I love you all so much, and I hope you know how incredibly special you are. ✨ Soooo update on what I got for the first midterm for PSYCH 110… I passed with a 70%! That exam was lowkey so hard to the point where multiple people (not even in psych) told me about someone getting a 16/30 on reddit…. ANYWAYS!! Also, I’ve been getting more grad photos taken and my friend is taking them! I think he likes me… and I don’t like him… BUT… heyyyy free professional photos ;) say less!! will keep you guys posted! Please don’t hesitate to ever reach out! I would love to hear from you! LOVE YOUUU!
With so much belle love to you all as always,
