HaU BLOG Posts
Hermanas has given me a support system, amazing amigas and wonderful memories. My college experience wouldn’t be the same without hermanas, and I’m so grateful to be part of such an amazing org. Here are only but a few pictures that capture some of those wonderful memories ❤️

If I am being very honest, having completed both summer session A and C left me completely and utterly drained. I was not ready to start my third year. I carried a negative attitude about my classes and how I would handle the stress that accompanies them. Although the quarter is barely starting, I am already looking to our winter vacation. I feel like my body never received a break and it started to affect other aspects of my life other than school. I have learned that something that works for me is "treating myself" after accomplishing small tasks. When I say "treat myself", I'm not talking about buying myself things (because lets phase it, I'm broke.) However I reward myself for accomplishing my weekly tasks with face masks, bubble baths, spending the night in with friends, etc. Everyone practices self care in different ways, and although sometimes I feel as though I don't deserve to treat myself, I think it's important to remind myself that accomplishing small tasks are accomplishments nonetheless. This "Treat yourself" attitude has really given me hope for the quarter ahead of me. I'm looking forward to hanging out with my Hermanas more than anything, I think that being on steering this year definitely gives me a different perspective of Hermanas and I'm really excited to explore things from this new perspective.
Mejia It absolutely blows my mind that I am now in my third year of college at UCLA. I remember being terrified my first year, feeling so overwhelmed by the huge number of people that were in my lecture hall and not knowing anyone on campus. I came from a very small high school, by very small I mean there were only 42 students in my graduating class. It was crazy to think that I would come from knowing every one of my classmates’ to seeing a stranger sitting next to me every class session. I would’ve thought that by my third year I’d have everything figured out, but boy was I wrong. Although my junior year comes with doubts and uncertainty, I can’t help but feel excited when I think about returning to Hermanas Unidas. I am very excited to join steering this year and being part of the planning, organizing, and all the ‘behind the scenes’ things that make HaU so amazing. I want to be able to offer a helping hand to all the first years who are probably feeling anxious and unaware of what to expect from this huge university. I found a comforting space when I came to my first meeting, so I want them to find their ‘home away from home’ with us. I know it will be a fun and successful year due to the amazing things the mujeres in steering have planned and cannot wait to see what unfolds! (:
- Judith <3 To all the people reading this Hello! If I’m being completely honest I’ve been having very mixed feelings about this year. On the one hand I’m super excited because there’s many big lifetime events coming up for me… I’m finally going to turn 21! I’m going to be graduating in June! And last but certainly not least, this summer I’m going to officially start my career in education! But despite all these exciting events I have coming, I cannot deny the fact that the senioritis kicked in BIG TIME! So like I’m currently trying to learn how to deal with that, so if y’all got any advice please let your girl know. That is all folks.
