Meet Alex, a shy but brilliant second-year physics student at the University of Waterloo. Growing up in a small town, Alex always found solace in numbers and equations, spending most of their time engrossed in textbooks and the latest science documentaries. Despite their impressive grasp of complex theories, Alex struggles to connect with peers outside the classroom, often wishing for a study group that could blossom into friendships. They hope to find their tribe in the tight-knit physics community but are still searching for that first spark of connection.
