Meet Alex, a second-year Engineering student who thrives on the bustling energy of campus life. With a coffee in hand and a backpack filled with textbooks, they’ve mastered the art of navigating long lineups at popular spots like the DC Tim Hortons. Alex embraces the crowds, seeing them as a badge of honor that signifies the vibrant community at Waterloo, where every moment is filled with opportunity and interaction. Their friends openly tease them for their caffeine dependency, but Alex knows that every sip fuels their late-night study sessions and creative engineering projects.
