Hello my beautiful Belles!! Happy Week Nine!! I am missing you all this week, but I hope you all are enjoying your long weekend! I got to see my brother graduate with his associate's in chemistry, and I am so incredibly proud of him! This past week has been non-stop interviews😵‍💫 On Tuesday, I was on Zoom from 3:45 to 9:45, interviewing people for my job. Not at all fun, but the paycheck is going to be FAT. I also got an email this past week to rank my location choices for my post-grad job. Super scary to be deciding where I want to be for the next two years, but I am really excited!! Other than that, not much from me!! I hope you all are taking the weekend to rest and catch up! If you ever need anything, we are here for you!! Just reach out! Belle love always!! 🤍

Fundraising

Hello my dear, darling lovelies!

Week 8 was brutal, but ended on such a good note. This weekend, I tanned, celebrated my roommates' birthday, went to the charity concert, had a cute rooftop night, and just generally recovered from the weekly midterms that started after retreat and only now decided to be kind to me. I’m going home this week for my brother’s high school graduation, and am very excited to see my family and walk around barefoot!

I’m also SO excited for the new board! You guys are gonna kill it, and I’m already giddy about welcoming new baby Belles. Please reach out if you need anything! If you’re struggling to get your credits, I pinky promise that communicating that will benefit you.

Belle love always and forever,

Natalia
