I appreciate the effort, but I think my year was far too shitty that I could answer any of these questions in a way that isn't depressing.

  1. Who is the person you admired most in 2017?

Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and Trevor Noah. For giving me at least a few chuckles when my instincts tell me to just be terrified and done with the human race.

Never. I actually learned just how hard it is to appreciate any of my accomplishments.

The university library? Good times, good times...

  1. When did you stand up and cheer in 2017?

Can't remember any moment in the entire fucking year.

Well... Some of the pupils I'm tutoring made decisive progress when it comes to their marks. That's something, I guess. I also hope that some of my political rants made people reconsider voting for right-wing populists with shitty answers for made-up problems and even shittier core values they hide beneath all the shouting.

News don't make me feel, except when that feeling is being terrified.

  1. What expletive did you enjoy saying the most in 2017?

Had to look up what 'expletive' means. I guess my English isn't as good as I thought it is.

  1. Favorite adult beverage of 2017?

I don't drink, but I'd say Bourbon. Because it makes every Colbert reaction shot even funnier.

  1. Favorite moment of nostalgia you experienced in 2017?

I think there must be something... but I can't for the life of me come up with something. 2016 at least had that whole Pokémon craze, but this year I just kinda survived.

  1. When did you comfort someone who needed it in 2017?

I am ashamed to say that I didn't, but honestly that has more to do with the fact that I'm not on that good terms with people in general. I'd like to say that I try to say comforting things to my mother whenever she's close to a nervous breakdown, but usually I'm not getting anything accomplished with that.

  1. Who is someone that comforted you in 2017?

Nah, for the same reason as above.

  1. What’s the most beautiful thing you saw in 2017?

... maybe the ending of the Umineko episode 8 manga while Queen's "Teo Torriate" was blaring into my ears. Left me a sobbing wreck, in a good way of course.
