Meet Alex, a first-year Environmental Science student at the University of Waterloo who has a penchant for layering up—especially on those humid days when the air feels thick. Growing up in a small town, Alex is used to the crisp, cool air and prefers the comfort of their trusty hoodie over the unpredictable weather. They often joke with friends about their fear of catching a cold, but it might just be an excuse to keep wearing their favorite, vibrant hoodie that has become a signature piece of their identity.
