MONTHLY RECAP • New Year Mistakes and Stresses (January 2017)

Brand spankin’ New Year! But yet, it still doesn’t seem like 2017 will be a good year.

My January was mainly filled with hanging with newfound friends, making regretful decisions, stressing about work, and buying more comics than I should be.

My name is Cee, and I have a comic buying addiction.

I just cannot not buy comics. The past three-four months, I’ve been buying a lot of comics. Everybody I know have been telling me to chill, but I can’t! These comics are my babies! They’re the only thing I like buying, ha.

Made terrible New Years decision.

I spent New Years with friends, and well…I drank too much, and for the first time in my life, I threw up and became a sad drink. (I don’t recommend it, ha.) 2016 really got to me, so I guess drinking on New Years was my way of letting it all out. I felt really bad that my friends had to take care of me, but I was thankful for having them.

Work stressed me a lot. 

I think I spent half the month stressing and being bummed out about work because of certain changes I don’t like. It sucksssssssss.
