Hello my beautiful Belles!! Happy Week Nine! I have had such an incredibly busy week, oh my goodness. This weekend will be another reset for me, so I am excited to have things slow down a tad bit. I worked on my final for Branstetter’s class on Friday, so I’m now technically done with one of my classes which is so so nice. I am also incredibly excited for WLC!! I know Juliette will do an amazing job and every speaker will be fabulous! Not much else from me, but just a reminder that office hours are always there if you need them for anything! Last thing, the feedback form is now live, so pretty please fill it out by the end of week nine! As always, if you ever need anything, we are here for you!! Just reach out! Belle love always!! 🤍

HELLO MY DEARS
My week was packed with assignments but I got to see lots of people that I love so it was still wonderful. I made lots of chocolate covered strawberries (actually so easy bc of my lovely candle lamp) and FINALLY met Jojo in dance moms. The WLC was epic and fantabulous and darling Juliette killed it.

Hi Belles! Happy week 9. I hope you are all doing well and taking care of yourselves. I’m not gonna lie I am very happy Winter quarter is almost over because I think Spring is always the most fun. I took a heinous 14c midterm on Friday NIGHT which is lowk so evil but now I am chilling. To keep myself happy this week I have been spending lots of time with my roomies and enjoying our cozy apartment. I also had the loveliest most unproductive study session with Jayleen queen. I hope you all do things to fill your cup even when the quarter is stressful. Reach out to me if you ever need anything :)
