Meet Alex, a second-year mechanical engineering student at the University of Waterloo. Hailing from a small town in Ontario, Alex always had a knack for building and fixing things, but the rigorous engineering curriculum has pushed them to their limits. Despite the challenges, Alex is determined to master complex concepts, often juggling late-night study sessions with coffee runs. When not buried in textbooks, you can find Alex tinkering with old bikes or sharing laughs with friends who understand the struggle.
