It's definitely not unusual to be pumped about entering the adult world after college. Who isn't hyped on the fact that you're done with school, tests and homework? It's an amazing feeling, but what they don't tell you is that postgrad life isn't always fun.

If you thought the struggle was real in college, just wait, my friends. The struggle reaches a new level after graduation. The best way to truly explain all of the thoughts and emotions you have as a postgrad is with the help of The Fresh Prince himself, Will Smith. We all know Will Smith always had something to say.

If you're a postgrad and a fan of "The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air," keep reading because you'll totally relate.

1. This adult life will be a piece of cake. 

Giphy

I can be an adult. How hard could this possible be?

2. Is it unusual to not like adulting?

Giphy

I take that back. I would like to give my adult card back.

3. Everyone wants to know my plans. What are my plans? 

Giphy

I have to have more than one plan?

4. I can have nap time anytime now. 

Giphy

I just want the freedom to nap anytime I want to.

5. Wait, I have responsibilities. I have to be responsible. 

Giphy

I can't nap today. I have commitments and adult things to do.

6. Oh, look at those nasty loans. 

Giphy

That number is awfully big. I might pass out.

7. Are you sure I don't have any money?

Giphy

Where did my money go? Oh yea, those loans took my money.

8. Employers want skill? I'll show them some skills. 

Giphy

I have plenty of skills to show them. They should hire me based off my super skills for sure.

9. Can I just talk about my favorite color in an interview?

Giphy

I can talk about colors all day. Everyone likes colors.

10. Man, rejection hurts. Those employers rejected me. 

Giphy

That really hurt. It hurt me to the core.

11. At least I have my degree. You know what I'm saying?

Giphy

I have one thing going for me. My D-E-G-R-E-E.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe.

With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
