My most memorable experience this quarter was our GB retreat. It was my first time going to a GB retreat and WOW it was amazing and unforgettable. From getting to know more GB members to helping out with activities, to staying up with Bianca to write recuerdos (being the last ones awake), every single minute spent at GB retreat was completely worth it! I loved bonding with other Hermanas y Hermanxs and seeing both our vulnerability and competitiveness in action. I truly needed this retreat and I cannot put into words how much I am grateful for having attended. I have to say any moment that I spend surrounded by HaU members I feel happy! The college I made does little to recognize the amazing work that our co-chairs Jo and Brenda put in to making this event possible. However, I want to give huge props to them for making it happen <3 So grateful to be surrounded by amazing, poderosxs, inspirational, and beautiful people!! <3 HaU has my heart foreverrrr
Love, Leslie

I have to admit that this quarter has been one of the most stressful quarters at UCLA yet. However, I have found different ways to cope with stress and anxiety and I hope that these things can help y'all too. During the pandemic, I really got into going for walks when I needed to destress a little. I have also really enjoyed studying and de-stressing in nature. I can't tell y'all the countless times that I drove to Whittier Narrows, a recreational area, to study for my midterms and finals during the pandemic. Additionally, I also got into cooking over the pandemic. I found out that cooking some of my favorite foods, such as aguachiles can be really relaxing. Especially because I get to eat good afterwards. Another thing that I enjoy to do when I want to wind down is bake. I love baking ricotta cheesecake, cupcakes, flan, etc. Plus being able to enjoy them is a huge win! I also love some retail-therapy. I love to go to Target or do some online shopping as a means of distraction, while also treating myself at the same time. Lastly, when I am really stressed and just need a breather I like to go visit my niece, Lanei. Being around her and her young energy really grounds me and makes me see things in a different perspective. So my recommendation would be to do things y'all enjoy doing, such as baking, cooking, being around loved ones, and treating y'allselfs!
