Meet Jamie, a final-year Arts student at the University of Waterloo who feels disillusioned with their program. Growing up in a creative family that valued the arts, Jamie initially envisioned their university experience as a transformative journey filled with inspiration and passion. However, after years of feeling overlooked and underwhelmed by the curriculum and faculty, Jamie’s enthusiasm has waned. With graduation just around the corner, they’re eager to leave their perceived mediocrity behind and seek out real-world experiences that will reignite their creative spirit—anything except a job at the university that has left them feeling uninspired.
