Meet Alex, a third-year physics student at the University of Waterloo. With a keen interest in quantum mechanics, Alex thrives on the challenge of complex equations and enjoys late-night study sessions with friends at the library. While they often joke about the shared struggles of their discipline, Alex finds comfort in community solidarity and believes that the camaraderie born from shared suffering makes the journey worthwhile. When not buried in textbooks, Alex loves hiking in the great Canadian outdoors and capturing moments through photography.
