Meet Alex, a third-year Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. Initially enthusiastic about co-op opportunities, Alex has faced a series of challenging interviews that seem to end in disappointment. Despite their struggles, they maintain a light-hearted outlook, believing that each "bombed" interview adds to their experience and resilience. Outside of studies, Alex enjoys drawing comic strips about the ups and downs of student life, often featuring their clumsy but lovable alter ego navigating the co-op landscape.
