Hello beautiful Belles!! Happy Week 10!! We are almost there to Winter Break!! After such a restful Thanksgiving break, I am so incredibly excited to have a couple of weeks off and be at home with my family. I am also so excited to have an easier class load for next quarter, which I am so looking forward to. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break and spent that time resting! I ate lots of good food and put some good use to the projector I bought which is actually so incredibly fantastic. On a different note, this is also my last agenda for Fall Quarter and my last Fall Quarter GM, which is really starting to get to me🥲 Time is going by too fast. Not too much happened last week since I went home Tuesday night, but my brother came down and picked me up. We went to Noodle St. and then ShareTea which was so much fun (enjoy some 0.5s of me). We also had our IR Elections last Monday, which I am so proud for both of the Baby Belles who applied and my congratulations to our IR Director Fiona! As we are in the last week of the quarter, make sure that you are getting all your credits in, and take advantage of any online opportunities!! Please reach out if there are any issues regarding credits. As always, if you ever need anything, we are here for you!! Just reach out! Belle love always!!🤍

IT’S WEEK TEN AHHH SO NOT COOL…so I’m sort of kind of really definitely sad that this quarter is over (even though I’m lowkey tired of it) because that means 1/3 quarters of my senior year are done:( This is officially your sign to hangout with seniors while they are still here. Honestly though, it’s been a great quarter and I have had so much going on but I am sooo hyped for a break. But also so sad because I can’t make it to GM next quarter:( Anyway, sending out good energy to each and every one of you this finals season and have the best winter break ever!! Enjoy two final quotes of the quarter:
“Don’t fall in love with success. Fall in love with the habits that bring success.”
“What you want exists. Don’t settle until you get it”

Hello my dear, darling lovelies!
I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving and restful break! I loved seeing family and friends and realized how much I missed everyone. I baked a lot, went shopping, and laid on the couch so it was a great weekend.
Good luck with finals! It’s going to be splendiferous and done before we know it. You are a brilliant Belle and will crush the exam.
To wrap up this quarter I would just like to say that Monday has easily been my favorite day of the week and I owe it all to all of you. I can’t go to GM next quarter (actually crying) but I can’t wait to see you all at various events. Have an amazing winter break!
Reach out anytime for anything, Belles related or not 🩷

Hello Belles!
So sad it’s the last meeting of fall quarter, but I hope everyone got some much needed rest before finals week (I know yall got this)! This Thanksgiving I went home for the first time in 4 months (wow) and hug my dog, baked for my friend who was getting knee surgery, and attended the UCLA v. USC game.
I know this is a very stressful time so if any you guys need someone to talk to or just want to destress, I’m always available to talk or meet up!
Belle love always,
Alex

DEI
Hi Belles! Happy week 10. This week I went home (big yippee) and have enjoyed seeing my family and hometown friends. I am in Sacramento right now with my grandparents and its so cold here I feel like I am experiencing actual seasons which is so fun. I am dreading returning to school though bc I am wildly unprepared for finals but oh well. I hope you all are resting up and getting to spend time with loved ones. See you Monday!
Belle love,
Sofia
There will be no more in person workshops this quarter. I will send out an ed-puzzle workshop as a credit opportunity for anyone who has not yet completed their DEI credits. This asynch option will become available during week 10.
