Meet Alex, a third-year Computer Science student at the University of Waterloo. Known for their sharp wit and a love for dark humor, Alex often finds himself immersed in the grind of co-op placements and lecture notes. Originally from a small town, he jokingly refers to Waterloo as "the black hole of academia" due to the intense work culture, but deep down, he cherishes the friendships and knowledge he's gained through it all. When not coding or studying, Alex enjoys spending time with friends in local cafes discussing everything from tech innovations to the absurdities of student life.
