About Sad Girls Club at UCI
The Sad Girls Club at UCI Facebook group was created with the intention to normalize ALL the emotions we feel as humans (the good, bad, sad, and happy). Our goal is to create a safe virtual space for those who want to share about their everyday experiences without societal judgment. This community is full of warmth, support, care, love, and storytelling from all members.
