Meet Alex, a frustrated third-year Arts student at the University of Waterloo who initially enrolled with dreams of exploring the world of literature and creative writing. However, after experiencing increasing administrative challenges and budget cuts within the Arts faculty, Alex has become disillusioned and vocal about their concerns. Passionate about advocacy for the arts, they often rally fellow students to discuss ways to improve the faculty's situation, all while juggling part-time work in a local bookstore to make ends meet.
