Meet Alex, a quirky second-year Environmental Science student at the University of Waterloo. With an adventurous spirit and a love for all things nature, Alex often finds humor in the everyday anxieties of life, like the fear of creatures lurking where they shouldn’t. When not cracking jokes with friends about absurd fears, Alex spends weekends hiking the local trails, always keeping an eye out for the fascinating wildlife (and maybe an imaginary critter or two).
