I had an idea to write a comic in college, detailing the hilarious antics, screw-ups, and struggles during that time. But “adulting” got in the way.

Around my 10-year college reunion mark, I decided to try and re-boot some of my creative projects I had in my youth. Yet, I felt disconnected from the experience of today’s college kids. We didn’t have “safe spaces” and “micro-aggression” and “YOLO” when I was in college. So my old ass couldn’t just continue where I left off, even though emotionally I still feel like I am a teenager.

So I decided to do the same thing, except as a 30-something. Through my 20’s, I never really met all the milestones at the times people said I should, aside from finishing college. I started my career and married later than my peers, so I often felt like an impostor. I still do…hence the term….”Adulting”…behaving like an adult, but not feeling like one.
