hey hey hey! I'm emerald okwueze, & i'm a second year majoring in poli-comm & government
I'm not sure what to put here buttt heyy! I'm a pretty introverted person, I rarely talk unless spoken too and when i do talk I talk pretty fast! (I used to be a speed debater) It's my second year at UT and i wanted to get out of my comfort zone and truly have a college experience that didn't solely revolve around being in academic distress.
what I-luv about D-luv
What really interests me the most about Darlins is the sisterhood aspect. I have 3 sisters and I lived with my 2 cousins as well so you can imagine having 6 girls under one roof. Being seperated from that has been a transition and while i've enjoyed finding out who i am as an individual, i miss being a silly girl with other silly girls.
Even though i'm mute like 80% of the time I think i could contribute a lot to the sisterhood, from sharing clothes to giving advice or being a shoulder to cry on. I miss the emotional aspect of being there to listen and assure someone that we're all on the same journey together.
I think Darlins represents a lot, apart from sisterhood, i think it symbolizes putting positivity and kindess into the world even if you don't get anything in return. From small actions like complimenting other girls to big actions like helping serve the community and supporting other organizations that prioritize the wellness of the community.
The organizations i've been in since coming to UT have kinda showed me the ropes to having balance both socially and academically. My mentors have been a good resource on the adversity that comes with higher education but to not let it get to you but rather keep it pushing bc college literally waits for no one, it just keeps going unfortunately
i definietly think the darlins should have a talent show!! not because i wanna show off the fact that i'd be a great dj buttt i think it'll be silly to see what the girls come up with and what everyone ends up doing!
In the past i've usually been a perfectionist with stuff i engage in, usually avoiding things to not deal disappointment or failure. On my new journey to put myself more out there, I applied to several creative organizations, even telling my friends about it and going out of my way to do publically post my creative ideas since I believed in them so much. I didn't end up getting into the creative organizations and i'm ngl it hurt (real bad) but I learned to put myself more out there and be ok with rejection. Maybe I wasn't their cup of tea, but the experience still got to me to put myself out there and post what I enjoyed doing. It also def taught me to be easier on myself and not take it to heart, it's literally not the end of the world if u fail, just redirection for something better.

3 words that describe me would be: ditzy,overambitious,homebody
if i could be any shoe in the worldd i would specifically be a Vintage Christian Dior Floral Logo lock Key Heel, with a flower belt. Just because shes not practical for everyday use, but the one time you wear her you're like ykw shes cute and she's giving character to the outfit. so shes basically a let me cook and youll see the personality type of shoe which is why she is me and i am her.
If money literally wasn't a thing and time didn't exist i would simply just travel and be a dj/music producer/actress/magazine designer/photographer/food critic. I would just lollygag and do whatever my heart desires all the time.
the past year i had a lot of self-doubt about like myself and who i was as a person versus who i wanted to become and my aspirations in life so my friend Mei who i love dearly! sent me this quote by Tracee Ellis Ross "I am learning everyday to allow the space between where i am and where i want to be to inspire me and not terrify me." and i love it the most, because why am i scared of the future when everything about the future can be what i want it to be depending on what i do today !!!
