Meet Alex, a determined yet slightly overwhelmed second-year Mathematics student at the University of Waterloo. Alex decided to take a challenging statistics course online while juggling a part-time job at a local café, hoping to gain experience in data analysis. However, the lack of support from the professor has left them feeling lost. Eager to connect with peers who share the same struggle, Alex often spends late nights in study groups, fueled by coffee and a desire to excel—not just for themselves but to prove that they can thrive in this fast-paced environment.
