This comic has everything -- copious procrastibaking (I can relate), a too-private then too-public relationship and the confusion and emotional turmoil that comes with navigating all that, friendships, college shenanigans, witty banter. Also, hockey, I guess. Bitty is such a delight. My only complaint is I had trouble keeping track of the side characters and their storylines, and I don't think the comic/graphic novel format helped here, unfortunately!
Graphic: Alcohol and Injury/Injury detail
