Hello my beautiful Belles!! Happy Week One of Spring Quarter!! This is absolutely crazy because I am genuinely not ready for this to be my last quarter ever. It is definitely bittersweet, and I feel like I’m ready and not ready at the same time. I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break, I spent most of it getting the much needed sleep and rest that I have been lacking on. I played A LOT on my switch, finished Bridgerton season 4 with my mom, went to Medieval Times with Jessica and Annalyn, and actually did some reading which I really have been meaning to do. Annalyn, Jessica, and I spent pretty much the entire day in Buena Park. After Medieval Times, we went to a nearby mall and took some photo booth photos, got some sweet treats and a fun drink, and I bought some stickers to be new additions on my laptop. But let me tell you, I had sooo much fun with them as per usual, and Medieval Times was a blast (it’s literally boy aquarium in there LOL). We then went to this little brewery to get some mocktails, which were delicious. During break, I also watched Sinners, which was actually SUCH a great movie, I was in tears by the end of it. I ended up getting an A- in a class that I was CONVINCED I was going to get a B/B+ in, so that was some great news! There are a lot of exciting and fun things coming up this quarter and I cannot wait for this to be the best, most exciting, and most heartbreaking quarter ever. I am excited to see you all at GM!! If you ever need anything, we are here for you!! Just reach out! Belle love always!! 🤍
Community Outreach
Spring break was so lovely! Emer and I went and did the Trans Catalina Trail which is so so beautiful would recommend. A bison made us jump over a creek filled with poison oak so that was chill. Then went to Death Valley & Zion NPs :) Ask me to see photos at your own risk (there are many). Lmk if you have any questions about the agenda or have anything you would like me to add in! - Sarah <3

Hello my dear, darling lovelies!
I hope you all had an amazing break! I’m very excited for this quarter and what it has in store. I’m scared for physics (send help) but besides that I think it’s going to be an amazing quarter.
I got a tooth pulled which wasn’t so lovely, but I spent lots of time with my baby cousins and they were adorbsies and I got to go on lots of sunset walks! Also, I finally get to return to GM this quarter which I’m incredibly excited for. YAYAYAY!

Hi my gorgeous Belles!
I wanna hear all about your Spring Breaks and live vicariously through you guys because I did absolutely nothing at home. It was lowkey needed after last quarter and especially heading into ochem (eek pray for me), but had to do a social media detox after seeing my roommates Hawaii posts.
If anyone wants to challenge me, my roommates and I taught ourselves to do headstands, and have become obsessed lol. I would highly recommend learning this very practical skill.
Happy Spring Quarter and as always feel free to reach out if you need anything at all!
Belle love always,
Alex

Guys Spring Break was so insanely needed but it’s stinking over….are we fr? Anyway, Spring Quarter is always my fav so Sunset Rec, the beach, acai bowls, smoothies, and tanning here I come all day every day. The sun keeps me motivated so if any of you Belles wanna join yk I am ALWAYS down. Over break, I got to see my family, my hometown friends, do LOTS of shopping, and sleeping, and had a fun girl’s day with my mom! Got a haircut and my nails done, so Spring Quarter here I come!

HELLOOOOO belles! I hope you all had a lovely Spring break! I personally had the best time ever because I basically had 2 weeks off. The first week I went home and spent some quality time with my family and the second week I went to Cancun with my friends. Literally all I did was swim and relax and it was wonderful, I unfortunately have a busy quarter ahead of me but luckily Spring quarter is always fun and happens to be my favorite quarter each year. I hope you all are settling back in and I can’t wait to see everyone at GM weeks 2-10 (I can’t come today rip).
Details about workshops will be coming out week 2. Keep an eye out and reach out to me with any questions!
