Meet Alex, a laid-back first-year Engineering student at the University of Waterloo who prides themself on their strategic decision-making. Growing up in a small town, they learned the importance of balance early on, choosing to skip Chem 30-1 and Math 30-1 to avoid overwhelming stress and instead focusing on subjects they enjoyed more. With a passion for coding and a knack for problem-solving, Alex is ready to take on the challenges of university life, albeit on their own terms.
