… But first, let's get to know Sofia

Hey there friendly blog readers! My name is Sofia and I am in my fourth year here at Brock University. I am in the Concurrent Education program with Math and English as my teachable subjects. Though I now call Brock my home, I come from the faraway land of Hamilton, ON where my family still resides. I lived in DeCew Residence for my first year at school and loved the residence community so much that I worked as a Residence Don for my second and third year. So if you have any questions about residence, feel free to comment on my blog. I know coming to a new school can be intimidating, but I fell in love with the campus when I first arrived, and hopefully you will too! I hope to see you here for a campus tour of our beautiful university in the coming months! Take care!

Halloween Isn’t Just For Kids

Posted on October 30, 2013 by Sofia

If you’re like me, being a teenager at Halloween was pretty upsetting. Yes, I could still dress up, but I had become just too old to be a cute, little trick-or-treater. Having cute younger sisters didn’t help much either, especially … Continue reading →
