City: Saugz (Mississauga)
Year: 3
Specialization: N/A (Wildtype)
Residence/Commuter/Off-campus: Residence
Specific Residence: LP!
Hobbies/Fun Fact/Extra-curriculars: Hobbies: Exploring, crocheting, badminton, watching Gossip Girl, driving in my wheelz, professional fb troll
Fun fact: I fell off a treadmill the other day...not really 'fun' but maybe that will make you feel better next time something embarrassing happens to you?
Greatest Struggle in first year: I think my greatest challenge in first year was learning to expand my comfort zone. Being in an environment without parental supervision for the first time was a little bit scary because I was afraid of making the wrong decisions and losing my values. However, I’m proud of the progress I’ve made. I think the only true way to learn about your self is to try new things; only then can you be certain about what kinds of things you like and don’t like.
To this day, one of the things I am most grateful for is having friends who support me through my growth choices and accept me for who I am, despite some of the bad decisions I may make. If you ever need someone to be that friend for you, don’t hesitate to shoot me a message! YEAH other than that - welcome to the #WolfFam, and good luck on your 4-year journey <3

Hobbies/Fun Fact/ Extra-curricular: I am a professionally trained cook, computer programmer, and Olympic bodybuilder. We are playing two truths and a lie - can you figure out which is which?
Greatest Struggle in first year: I was from a relatively smaller and isolated city and had heard of the intensity of the students from other cities, something I was not used to. I was definitely nervous of how I would keep up with my classmates. I overcame this challenge by pushing myself out of my comfort zone, and constantly reminding myself I deserved to be at BHSc just as much as everyone else. In the end, it all worked out :)
