Meet Alex, a third-year Psychology student at the University of Waterloo who has a penchant for exploring social dynamics and the psychology behind substance use. Growing up in a small town, Alex often felt overshadowed by more glamorous city peers and found solace in the world of academia. With a unique blend of wit and introspection, they enjoy satirizing campus culture while examining the societal constructs that influence behaviors—especially around topics like substance use in social circles. Outside of classes, Alex is an avid member of the campus debate team and enjoys volunteering at local mental health initiatives.
