Hello my beautiful Belles!! Happy Week 8!! This quarter is going by too quick and I have some not so good opinions on that. Also, two Belle GMs left, hello??? Last was definitely emotional for me, I gave my senior spotlight, finished my last day at my internship, and went to see Professor Goff receive a teaching award and give a lecture (the last one I’ll see her do). Enjoy a photo of me bawling my eyes out after my internship. I am currently unwell. On a brighter note, I am so incredibly excited for P.L.A.Y. Day, and I cannot wait for elections on Monday! I am so incredibly proud of everyone who is running, whether you are elected or not. Please know that it is a very brave thing to do to put yourself out there, and know that Belles is the safest place to do this. If you are partaking in voting on Monday, please make sure to read ALL applications, whether it’s a competed office or not. All applicants put a great deal of love and work into them and they deserve to be read! As always, if you ever need anything, we are here for you!! Just reach out! Belle love always!! 🤍

Happy happy week eight! I hope everyone is doing well:) Summer is so so close yayyy. As always, please reach out if you need anything at all!!
Fundraising
Hello my dear, darling lovelies!
We’re so close to summer, which is scary, and I don’t want this year to end, but I am so incredibly excited for apartment life next year, and trust me when I say I plan to fully take advantage of couch time. Nothing crazy interesting happened last week, and I’ve honestly just been studying because it’s week 8 and I still have midterms and currently am not in good academic standing… physics hates me, but it’s mutual, so I suppose it’s okay.
Anywoozles, please fill out the form Juliette sent because otherwise we’re going to be sad and so will the seniors :(
Belle love,
Natalia

Hello Belle ladies I hope we are having a great day. The worst week of my quarter (until finals) is upon me. 14D and 5A wednesday.

I CANNOT believe the year is almost over. I have now been at UCLA for half my total time which is NUTS. ALSOOOO YAY ALEXA OUR FUTURE WL DIRECTOR she is going to do an infinitely more amazing job than I could ever imagine doing I am so excited.

Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well! I honestly have had a horrendous week UGH. I got sick last week and have two terrifying midterms this week (monday and wednesday). All I have been doing is studying which has been stressful and boring but some good things have happened too! I have had lots of lovely study dates with Belles and also went to the Belles on the Grill social/fundraiser. So fun! I am also excited because I am going to NY for the long weekend to help my sister move in to her new apartment! Yay! Anyways I will get back to stduying now but I hope you all are getting through your midterms and making time for yourself to have fun!
Belle love,
Sofia
