I'm a cartoonist. I created a weekly cartoon series called Every Vowel that many people call the "Dilbert for Millennials." Others say it’s like Pixar’s "Inside Out" for young professionals. Whatever it is, I hope my cartoons make people smile. You can find me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

13 things to be grateful for in 2017, explained by adorable cartoon characters.

If there is ever a time to take stock of all of life's blessings, it's around Thanksgiving.

It's easy to get swept up the bustle and stress of our workdays, lose touch with old friends, or feel despair while watching the news.

This is the time of year to pause, celebrate the opportunities that lie ahead, and spend time with the people who matter most. It's the time to remember all we have to be grateful for.

14 hilarious cartoons that college students can relate to.

If I could sum up my young adult life in one sentence, it would author J.R.R. Tolkien's famous "not all who wander are lost."

I wandered a lot during my time as a University of Pennsylvania student. I made mistakes that turned into memories. I found love that turned into heartbreak. I blindly pursued a profession (investment banking) before finding my passion (cartooning).

The real world is full of unknowns, especially for recent college grads and millennials hustling to figure out life's next steps.

It's a feeling I know too well. As a first-generation American who landed a job at Google, I wanted to share all the advice, lessons, and up-and-down feelings I learned while navigating life as a young professional.

I have a confession: I get anxiety when I check social media.

Lots of people pretend to be someone they're not.

Like a "social media influencer."

Or a "Bitcoin guru."

But truth is, not everyone crushes their goals all the time.

1. Don't let pride get in your way.

2. Ask for help.

3. Above all: Don’t be so hard on yourself!

You don't need to have all the answers.

Even people who soar don’t have it all figured out.

Life is constantly under construction. Failure isn't a detour. It's a rite of passage.

If there is ever a time to take stock of all of life's blessings, it's around Thanksgiving.

1. Because giving thanks should be a way of life.

2. It's not about having the newest iPhone...

3. ...or the fastest WiFi.

4. Gratitude is an attitude.

5. Thanksgiving is about cherishing those around you above what you own.

6. We can be grateful for friends who always have our backs...

7. ...and encourage us to be our weird selves.

8. We can be grateful for our parents.

9. Even if they’re sometimes overprotective...

10. ...and ask far too many questions.

11. We can be grateful to our mentors who give us advice...

12. ...and lift us up when we're falling behind.

13. Above all, we can celebrate our chance to experience the ups and downs of life and share it all with the people we love most.

1. There’s only one type of competition you should really worry about.

2. But don’t stress yourself out. Remember to ask for help.

3. Find friends who push you outside your comfort zone.

4. Finding real friends won’t always be easy…

5. …but it’s always worth it.

6. When it comes to romance, remember that it requires more effort than just swiping right.

7. It takes time to turn a relationship into something special.

8. Learn to have difficult conversations.

9. But try to empathize even when you disagree.

10. Chase your dreams. Not someone else’s.

11. When it comes to finding jobs, don’t be discouraged.

12. Because “no” is just another way of saying “not yet.”

13. You can only study so much. The best way to get experience is to just do it.

14. And keep at it. Success is closer than you realize.

The real world is full of unknowns, especially for recent college grads and millennials hustling to figure out life's next steps.

Here are 17 inspiring, funny, almost too real cartoons that millennials in their first jobs — and professionals of every age — can instantly relate to.

1. Mondays.

2. Email struggles.

3. Every office has that co-worker who's a bit of a know-it-all...

4. ...but the truth is, no one knows it all. Push out those imposter syndrome thoughts!

5. Let your work speak for itself.

6. Sometimes, you don't know what comes next (but you should always try.)

7. Even the most creative people struggle with doubt.

8. It's your choice how you spend your days.

9. Finding good people to confide in is invaluable.

10. On growing up...

11. ...and fitting in.

12. When it comes down to it, attitude is everything.

13. Traveling the road to success rarely goes as planned.

14. There are good and bad ways to use your time.

15. The best leaders know the value of teamwork.

16. And they aren't afraid to try new things.

17. Sure, life gets tough, but remember:
