Hello my beautiful Belles!! Happy Week Six! I am finally halfway through my midterms, thank goodness. My last one is on Tuesday, but I feel like a lot of the content is intuitive, and we can take any handwritten notes with us, which will be helpful! This week was A LOT of fun! On Tuesday, I went to spin with Natalia which I always have a blast doing now that I’m not getting sore anymore. I also got the Valentine’s brownie battered-filled Dunkin Donut. I have been literally waiting ALL YEAR to get that donut again, and it just made me so happy. On Wednesday, I finally tried a recipe that I’ve been meaning to try. I made chicken caesar pizza, which was so yummy. On Thursday, Kamea (my little) and I are in the same Poli Sci class (141E), and Sherrer used Olivia Rodrigo lyrics in our lecture to get his point across💀I also had my social with Annalyn on Thursday at House of Meatballs, which was SO much fun! Alexia, Anaïs, Natalia, and Monic joined us! The dinner was yummy and I got to spend time with Belles, which is always a bonus! I hope you all have a great Week Six! As always, if you ever need anything, we are here for you!! Just reach out! Belle love always!! 🤍

Hello my dear, darling lovelies!
The night before my midterm, my roomie and I were doing anything except studying and we went around our floor and left drawings and notes on people’s whiteboards. And now I’m free from midterms round 1 YAY. Overall, I had a very relaxed week full of Cafe 1919 gelato, Dance Moms, and yummy pasta. I walked to Popup Bagels with Anaïs and have been getting back into running with Alaina so no complaints about winter quarter from me. I genuinely have no idea how it’s week 6 but uhm yay?
Anyways, reach out anytime for anything, Belles related or not 🩷

Hi my gorgeous Belles!
I’m 2/3 done with my midterms wave ahhhhh. My friends and I finished watching Normal People this week and were so unwell we had to watch marble racing compilations to calm down. Other than that I went on a girls trip to Mammoth this weekend.
It was my first time at Mammoth, and my roommate, who is a literal ski instructor, was pushing me to my limits. Such a great time.
Belle love always,
Alex

Hello women! I had a fun week 5 definitely more relaxed than week 4 cause my midterms round 1 are finished WOOHOO. Came out mostly on top but I’m mad cause I got a 92.5 on my math test and was so hype and then got told that’s a B???? evil. Apparently the cut off for an A- was a 95%. I can’t even. A lady at the hospital threatened to pee on me this week so that was exciting :D She didn’t actually though. Hyped for Valentines weekend the boyfriend has a mysterious plan…

Hi Belles! Happy week 6 - wow time is going by so fast. This past week I had two midterms but thankfully they weren’t too bad. I had a very cozy week of baking cookies, watching my friend win a TV on The Price is Right, and doing group x dance classes! I also had the most scrumptious dinner at Tsujita - please give me more ramen places to try. Anyways now I have to start locking back in for my next round of midterms. I hope you all have a lovely week. Good luck with midterms.
Please continue signing up for workshops. The schedule is on Sign Up genius and we will be expanding the sign ups to allow 7-8 belles per workshop.
