Meet Alex, a 20-year-old computer science major at the University of Waterloo who is navigating the highs and lows of university life. A self-proclaimed lover of binge-watching shows and gaming, Alex often finds himself caught in a cycle of wanting to be productive but succumbing to the allure of mindless entertainment. As a creative thinker, he’s great at problem-solving in his coding projects, but when it comes to leisure time, he struggles to balance relaxation and motivation. Alex’s experiences are a constant reminder of the challenge many students face in effectively managing their time outside the classroom.
