Meet Emily, a sensitive and introspective first-year Arts student at the University of Waterloo. Growing up in a small town, she always felt like an outsider, and now she grapples with the pressures of university life away from home. Emily finds solace in poetry and often channels her emotions into writing, but when the weight of sadness becomes too much, she finds herself overwhelmed. She’s currently seeking out campus resources and like-minded friends to not just cope, but thrive.
