Meet Alex, a third-year engineering student at the University of Waterloo. Having faced a hectic schedule of co-op placements and challenging coursework, Alex often feels like they’re missing out on key campus activities and events. This semester, however, a combination of project deadlines and personal commitments has left Alex feeling disconnected, leading to their casual yet slightly frustrated remark about not participating in things as they hoped. With a passion for robotics and a dream of starting their own tech company, Alex is determined to regain their footing and engage more in the coming semesters.
