Hello beautiful Belles!! Happy Week 8!! This week has been a huge reset week for me! I have been getting caught up with all my classes and getting onto a better schedule, which I am so excited for. I attended the Project Angel Food CO event and had so much fun, but my arm is so sore from all the scooping. BUT I definitely recommend this CO event if you are able! The hairnets were definitely a look. Although my week was short, it definitely felt very long and busy. I had an 8-page midterm due on Wednesday, and tell me why I was able to finish it in three hours. I’m not sure if this is something I should feel proud of or something I wish I didn’t know, but only time will tell. I have one more midterm this week, and then I am officially done with midterm season, thank goodness. Hopefully you all are almost done with your midterm season and get a break before finals! ALSO, can I just say that I am absolutely LOVING the rain. The sound, the smell, all of it. I also got to see my kitty this weekend and get lots of cuddles. As we start to get closer to the end of the quarter, make sure that you are getting all your credits in and please reach out if there are any issues. As always, just as a reminder! If you ever need anything, we are here for you!! Just reach out! Belle love always!!🤍

Happy week 8 everyone!! No major updates because I caught a cold and was home most of last week. It was very nice to relax though! I did find out that my internship was extended a bit longer so I am super hyped for that! Watched Jennifer’s Body for the first time. Not my fav but did enjoy it! I also went to the Getty which was so cute and fun…garden was closed though because of the rain:( Speaking of rain, I am loving the holiday vibe it’s giving and I have had Christmas music on nonstop. Anyway, wishing everyone a week 8 full of happiness and cheer!

Hello my dear, darling lovelies!
I hope all of you are doing well! As I am writing this, I am very scared for my ochem midterm tonight. If nothing else, it will be done soon and then I can dedicate my life to learning 7C. Also, my job is trying to prevent me from seeing 100. I fear emails from this one guy because every email he sends tries to ruin my day.
For some happiness, I went to see the Nutcracker with Juliette and Natalie on Saturday and it was a twirl-tastic time. And I am extremely excited for the upcoming holidays and all the delicious food.
Anyways, reach out anytime for anything, Belles related or not 🩷

Hi my lovely Belles!
Only one more week till Thanksgiving and I am literally counting the days! My hell-quarter of endless midterms finally comes to an end this week and it feels unreal.
On a more light-hearted note, I went on a sunrise swim over Veterans Day and met my roommates parents over dinner. Also might be training my friends to run the LA half-marathon now (they both haven’t run since middle school)??? IDK, life is so weird right now.
Belle love always,
Alex

Veteran’s day I got to spend time with my family. SO fun. Midterms are officially over for me! Rainy weather, in my dorm, with tea and Netflix was by far the highlight of my days. Gave Gilmore Girls vibes whoo! I went to my friend’s apartment and watched rom-coms with tea and Trader Joe’s snacks + sleepover and I had the time of my life. I RAN to Starbucks and got a Peppermint hot chocolate with a friend and had a cute study sesh!

Hi my lovely Belles! Wow I am kind of unwell that it is week 8 now. I have some big scary midterms to study for but thankfully after Wednesday I am a free woman and just get to chill until Thanksgiving! This week I went thrifting and tried the Wicked themed stuff at Chilis and also did lots of work in boba shops! I also attended Alexia’s community goods social which was so much fun. My parents visited me last weekend so I’ve been living off of the food they cooked for me. Yay! I hope you all have a great week and good luck with midterms if any of you also have evil professors who are giving exams in week 8.
