Meet Alex, a laid-back first-year student in the University of Waterloo's Mathematics program. Coming from a small town, Alex always loved numbers but struggled to adapt to the fast-paced university environment. While they’re content with their solid 70s, they prioritize their mental well-being over grades, believing that learning should be a journey rather than a race. When not studying, Alex enjoys playing soccer with friends and exploring new coffee shops in Waterloo, embracing the balance between work and play.
