After four long years, Sofia finally got her major in neuroscience. She truly dedicated herself to make this happen, spending some of her - supposedly - free time studying and making sure all of her essays were done at the right time. It was exausting, but it was her choice and she wouldn't give up easily on that.
She had just left the graduation ceremony, her diploma in hands, after she made her family wait because she had to take a few photos with her group of friends. Of course, during her years of UCLA, she had met tons of people, but only a few remained close as the years went by.
Her time in university was difficult and weird. A few days into 2022, she had a very serious conversation with Vinnie, in which they decided they couldn't just get away from social media (Vinnie made a living out of it and Sofia enjoyed using it to communicate with her friends). They did agree that if the attacks continued, they'd be taking a longer break, but surprisingly, it didn't - of course the hate didn't stop completely, but it was much less and it wasn't as bad as before.
With that being said, she wasn't unknown when joining campus. Quite a few people - mostly girls - recognized her almost immediately and, while most of them were nice and respected her space, others took some pictures of her without her consent, sharing it to social media. It was a nightmare.
Vinnie moved out of the Hype House at the end of 2022, choosing to move in with Sofia, living with her at her college apartment - it wasn't small, so it fit the both of them perfectly. They had been living together ever since and would be now moving to another place, as she had graduated and couldn't stay occupying an apartment that belongs to the university.
As the years went by, Vinnie didn't lose his followers - in fact, he had gained more -, now dedicating himself more to streaming and less to posting TikTok videos. Sofia had become quite known as the Pinterest girl, because most of her outfits would get really popular on the platform. She was still posting on TikTok from time to time, but it wasn't as often as before.
As for their friends, they still kept pretty much the same ones from before. Now, Sofia had also met James Wright - Jack's twin, who was away for college when she first moved to California - and a few people left Los Angeles, like Baby J. Aside from that, it was just like 2021.
And, well, she was excited because some of her family members, as well as her best friends from Seattle, were in the city, since her dad chose to rent a restaurant for a celebratory dinner. She had, at first, told him not do to it, but he insisted a lot, so she just gave in. She knew him too well, he'd do it either way. And, it would be a fun night, after all (also, it'd be a night full of surprises).

When she arrived at the place, a restaurant called Delilah, a few paparazzi stood outside waiting for them "Yo, Sofia, the fans wanna know, are you and Vinnie still dating?" Fletcher asked the second she stepped out of the car
"I don't know." she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, looking around "That's a really good question, by the way. I hadn't thought about that, to be honest."
