Meet Jamie, a 20-year-old first-year student in the Environment faculty at the University of Waterloo. Jamie hails from a small town where the pace of life was slow and stress was minimal, but they’re finding that the fast-paced university environment is a whole new world. Eager to embrace new experiences, Jamie is learning the importance of balance and self-care while navigating the challenges of academic life. Deeply appreciative of the supportive community around them, they often engage with fellow students online to share insights and encouragement, showing their resilience and positive outlook.
