Hello beautiful Belles!! Happy Week 9!! This week flew by too quickly that I’m honestly not even sure what happened. It just passed in a blur, and I was wayyy too focused on being able to be home for a couple of days for Thanksgiving. Anywho, I finished my last midterm on Tuesday, which I was so excited for, but all my finals are during Week 10 meaning that I only get a week break sooo like😬. Anyways, I am so excited for IR Director Elections on Monday, and I am looking forward to having and working with a Baby Belle on Board! As we are in the last two weeks of the quarter, make sure that you are getting all your credits in, and please reach out if there are any issues. As always, if you ever need anything, we are here for you!! Just reach out! Belle love always!!🤍

Last week was such a busy week for me lowkey I feel like when I am booked and busy I have less time to be distracted and end up more locked in. Most exciting is that podcast for Daily Bruin is back in production and I got to interview a super cool guest yesterday…any guesses? No too much else to say except how is it week 9?!?!? not loving that. anyway, enjoy my quote for this week!

Hello my dear, darling lovelies!
I hope all of you are doing well! I had a lovely night watching a Christmas movie at Maria’s and my midterms are FINALLY over which is so hip hip hooray!
I hope you all have the best time at home! Catch up on sleep, enjoy couch-time, and share special moments with loved ones. My cousin is bringing her boyfriend to Thanksgiving so I’m very excited to see how that goes. And my aunt’s pumpkin bread is calling me from the future so that’s also exciting!
Reach out anytime for anything, Belles related or not 🩷 If I haven’t met you yet, I’d love to, so reach out if you ever want a dinner, study, or errand buddy! Also goes for those I have met lol!

Happy Thanksgiving week!!
Last week was so much fun! (well other than possibly having mold in my dorm and staying at my friend’s apartment last minute) BUT the Men’s Basketball game was a success, we WON of course. After “evacuating” my dorm, my friends at the apartment made me hot tea in a gingerbread mug, we watched Home Alone, with Trader Joe’s snacks, and had cozy blankets. It was SO much fun.
