Meet Alex, a first-year Math student at the University of Waterloo who has always struggled with abstract concepts. Growing up in a small town with limited resources, Alex found solace in gaming but never had much exposure to advanced math. Now faced with the fast-paced curriculum and challenging Mobius videos, the pressure is mounting. With a quirky sense of humor and a penchant for sharing memes, Alex often turns to Reddit to vent frustrations and seek advice, wondering if they’ll ever grasp the material before their midterm.
