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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
