Helloooooo gorgalicious belles!! I am so excited to finally be back with everyone after like the LONGEST summer of my life LOL. I missed everybody so much and I am HYPEEE for all the memories to be made this year YAYAY! 

While I spent a lot of the summer working, I had many fun moments throughout it all! I got to visit my dad’s new house in Nashville (Hannah Montana moment), visit my uncle and friends in San Francisco, go jetskiing in Arizona (and had to swim back because they broke halfway…), spent lots of time with my dogs, and of course, had many many beach days . I also got super invested in the World Cup for once this year, which was probably the most fun I’ve had watching sports on TV. 

ANYWHO enougghhhh about summer, I hope you all have an amazing first week of classes! I would love to hangout so pls text, call, show up at my door, WHATEVER. Feel free to reach out about anything and everything! :-) 

Belle Love, Lizzy 🥰🥰🥰

  • [WINTER QUARTER COMMITTEE OPPORTUNITY!!!] BBSA was approved to work with UCLA Crowdfunding (previously Spark @ UCLA) to receive tax-deductible donations through the university in winter quarter! Beyond Lizzy and my involvement, as well as the help from our lovely DBs, we would love some support to create our donation page, get some Belle testimonials, and do some outreach to alumni, parents, family/friends, etc., to help support this super awesome org on campus. This committee opportunity is a great way to give back to Belles, gain some leadership experience, learn a bit more about fundraising/crowdfunding, and get some cool opportunities to speak to in interviews/resume (we r womenleaders). A form will go out later in the fall to participate in this opportunity, but we wanted to let everyone know about it as soon as possible. Please reach out with any questions or to express interest!!

Hi Belles!! I’m so excited to be here and to dive into belles stuff for fall quarter. Summer went by SO fast even though I know i say that literally every year but it just felt crazy. I was in Westwood this summer and it was so nice to hang out with my friends and explore LA without having to worry about classes.

Currently finalizing the workshop schedule (shoutout to Gabriella and Julianna for their amazing help). Most importantly Initiation will be Nov 19 in the evening (6pm-8pm) please block it off!!
