HaU BLOG Posts
When it was first announced that nearly all UCLA classes were going to be online, I was so disappointed I wouldn’t be able to experience living on campus as a first year. At that moment, it honestly felt like the end of the world to me. Looking back, I admit I was acting pretty dramatic, but that was because I felt defeated after not being able to have my high school
graduation, and now realizing my first year of college wasn’t going to be anything like what I had hoped for. I felt as though all my plans were ruined, and my excitement towards starting college faded away over the summer as I gradually accepted the fact that I was going to miss out on “typical” formative college freshman experiences. I lost all sense of motivation for a while until I started joining clubs and organizations like HaU that made me feel excited to be in college and reignited my motivation for school. Admittedly at times I still feel like I’m missing out by doing online school from home whenever I see other freshmen post on social media about their fun adventures and experiences living in Westwood, but I try my best to stay positive and optimistic instead of dwelling on things I can’t control. Although my college experience so far hasn’t exactly been what I expected, I’ve undergone so much personal growth and I’m so glad to have met so many amazing people these past two quarters. Everyone in Hermanas Unidas has shown me so much love and support, I’m so appreciative of my experience as one of the social chair interns for this quarter. I’m hopeful that next school year we’ll be on campus, and I can’t wait to hang out with everyone in person! - Olivia Baltazar <3
