Meet Alex, a pragmatic third-year Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. Often seen as the voice of reason among friends, Alex prefers to focus on practical solutions rather than dwelling on problems. They have a penchant for wry humor and frequently find themselves exasperated by the futility of certain situations, particularly when inefficiencies or bureaucracy are involved. Balancing a rigorous co-op schedule with a love for outdoor rock climbing, Alex embraces challenges head-on and believes that sometimes, the best response is simply accepting what cannot be changed.
