Meet Julian, a 24-year-old philosophy and psychology double major at the University of Waterloo. Raised in a vibrant multicultural neighborhood, he’s always been the kid who questioned everything. A gifted polymath, Julian juggles his studies with creative pursuits like writing and coding, skillfully crafting narratives that explore human behavior and societal norms. Underneath his charismatic veneer lies a persona shaped by keen observations of the world, having experienced both admiration and envy from peers due to his intellectual prowess. Struggling with the weight of being perceived as “different,” he often grapples with paranoia about authenticity in his relationships, leading him to ponder the complexities of human connections. Julian uses humor and self-deprecation to navigate his interactions, all while harboring a fierce determination to break free from societal expectations and remain true to his genius amidst a sea of mediocrity.
