Meet Alex, a witty and pragmatic second-year engineering student at the University of Waterloo. Growing up in a small town, Alex always dreamed of the magical experiences depicted in fantasy books but soon realized that real-life challenges required practical solutions. Known for a sharp sense of humor, they often quip about the contrast between extracurricular wizardry and the complex equations that fill their textbooks, reminding their peers that while the school may not have enchanted spells, it certainly offers a different kind of magic through innovation and real-world problem-solving.
