Meet Emily, a first-year student from a small town who eagerly made the move to the University of Waterloo to study Environmental Science. Having been a top student in her high school but feeling overwhelmed by the transition to university life, she often seeks reassurance and guidance from upper-year students. Emily has a passion for sustainability and dreams of making a positive impact in her community, but she struggles with social anxiety, making it difficult for her to meet new people. Grateful for the support she receives online, she is keen to build connections as she embarks on this new chapter of her life.
