Hello my beautiful Belles!! Happy Week Seven!! I am so not ready to give my senior spotlight, like hello??? Where did the time go?? Anywho, I’ve included below before-and-after photos of me sending an email to my supervisor to schedule my last day of my internship. Honestly might be worse than a breakup, a girl is going through it, and I am not ready to leave them. I had a mini crash out in Campbell Hall… so yay. I was also very lucky to spend some time with my littles!! It was so good to get dinner with them and talk about life and lore. I also got to see Annalyn this week for dinner, which is always a necessity. Other than that, just busy doing a bunch of planning for Banquet and senior things! If you ever need anything, we are here for you!! Just reach out! Belle love always!!🤍

Secretary
Community Outreach Directors (x2)
Public Relations Director
Fundraising Directors (x2)

**Please also note: for offices with two members, each candidate must run and be elected independently. Co-directors are not elected as a pair.
Being on Executive Board is a year-long commitment. If you are planning to study abroad for fall, winter, or spring quarter, you will not be able to be a board member. Please consider your other commitments and responsibilities before running for board.
If you are interested in being a Distinguished Belle, applications are distributed and reviewed during the summer 2026 by the new Executive Board. Distinguished Belles are appointed by the Executive Board through application review rather than election.

Happy week seven?!?! I say this every week but HOW did we get here so fast. I had a scary midterm last week for my geoarchaeology class. I would not recommend. BUT I got to watch Sleeping Beauty and Bambi on a HUGE screen in my animation film class and it was truly so beautiful. This is your sign to watch OG Disney movies. I also waited at the blue carpet in westwood for the Billie concert film premiere AND I SAW HER. Literally my queen since day one. So lucky to be at this school where things like that just casually happen. UGH I’m not ready to say goodbye. Anyway, wishing you all a lovely week. As always, feel free to reach out!!!

Happy Week Seven Yall! I used the Bruinlearn crash as an excuse to destress and do some fun stuff although I am now feeling the consequences, This weekend I had the lovely Special Olympics Bruin Inclusion Walk (we ate some incredible wingstop, had a dance party, walked laps around track, and spread inclusion). Shout out to the Belles who where there. Besides BIW, I spent a lot of time with friends and made lots of memories. As always if you need anything at all do not hesitate to reach out:) i love talking to Belles!
Fundraising
Hello my dear, darling lovelies!
Week 7 holy cow what. I’m pre-stressed/scared for week 8 but am trying not to worry about it until it is here. Last week was quite the week, but I did some crafty crafting with Juliette so everything is just dandy. Aside from studying, this weekend I tanned and watched Love is Blind with Natalie so that was lovely. And I’m so excited for PLAY Day!! I already know it’s going to be incredibly fun, so get hyped!
Okay and I’d like to soft launch my newfound love for eating frozen raspberries with Wheat Thins…
Belle love,
Natalia

Hi my gorgeous Belles!
OMG holy high cortisol week! But we’re up now because I have housing for study abroad and have recovered from from my sprained ankle (which I may have gotten from IM basketball). I got to see my fav band from high school, Sunroom (I got a picture with the band too!), tanned in Newport, and met up for dinner with some of my Belles family. Highly recommend lore dropping with your Belles lineage now that we’re halfway through the quarter!
Belle love always,
Alex

Hi Belles! I hope you are all doing well. I honestly am terrified that it is week 7 because now I have round 2 of midterms coming up. Thankfully mine don’t start until week 8 so I have a little more time to study! This past week my amazing fabulous mom came to visit me which was the highlight of my quarter. We celebrated mother’s day early and had tons of yummy meals together. After she left I attempted to catch up on work this week but honestly I just kind of recharged. This weekend my apartment had a little barbecue which was super fun and then I attended my friend’s Hula performance! She killed it and after that I went to the MUNA concert with my roommate which was super fun. My heart feels very full and despite the academic stress I am a happy gal. I hope you all are having fun in the midst of midterms and classes. I’m excited to see everyone on monday!
Belle love,
