Meet Samir, a no-nonsense engineering student at the University of Waterloo who's knee-deep in algorithms and group projects. Often found in the library at odd hours, Samir is known for his dry humor and pragmatic outlook on university life. He believes that the hard work and dedication needed to succeed in co-op placements leave little room for socializing, and he’s quick to point out when discussions veer off track. Despite his serious demeanor, he secretly admires those who can balance academics and a vibrant social life, even if he won't admit it.
