I'm Caitlin Quijano. In my mid-twenties, I got hit with a quarter-life crisis of epic proportions.
I started making comics with a unique take on adulthood and millennial life as a means of coping mechanism and just never stopped. Here are some of my favourites.

I have less free money now than I did when I first started earning! To quote Blackadder 'One is born, one runs up bills, one dies'.
And that's why I still rent. People say its like throwing money away, but I prefer to think of it as paying for less stress when things go awry.
PS, Milennials. Spare a thought for Generation X. Fkn Baby Boomers are our parents. They spent the 80s being a******s - agreed is Good! - our teenage years being a******s - to us, you think you cop s**t from them? Try living with them and hearing it from your grandparents too - The millennium spending THEIR parents inheritance and are now spending 'OUR' inheritance grey nomading around because 'they earnt their money and it's theirs to spend' so screw the rest of us. Also, the reason the rest of us can't afford to buy property? Well they own their stuff (thanks to our grandparents leaving them their money to pay down their debt), so now they use their $ to NEGATIVE GEAR THE REST OF US OUT OF THE MARKET. Yeah. We are Gen X. We felt the first wave of your pain 😪
Is that why people clean their homes? I might have to try it sometime.
If I was stranded on a desert island, wifi and cookies would be what helped me survive :)
Well, at least you have a purple shirt, your not EXACTLY like everyone else
Me! I seriously detest that time of day. Ugh - first thing in the morning. Hate people talking near me let alone to me. No sound please. No music, TVs, nothing. My husband used to talk - soon learned his head was going to be bitten off. He now silently brings me drinks and I thank him for them in the evening!
I teach English to students going to the US. I tell them, When somebody says "Make yourself at home," DON'T! Just sit on the sofa and smile.
Lucky, you still fit in pants from high school? Adulting hit me hard in the gut... in that now mine's bigger. :p
