Graduating from college is a big freakin’ deal. For a lot of people, it’s one of the biggest milestones in their life thus far.

…At least, it’s supposed to be, right?

You may not truly feel like an adult yet, but between all the final exams, goodbyes, bouts of nostalgia, and rivers of alcohol, senior spring can be a bit of a whirlwind.

You hardly have time to stop long enough to think.

Which may be a good thing, because as soon as you do finally get a moment alone with your thoughts, you’re bound to come to the sad realization that all too soon, you’ll have to enter the real world, get a full-time desk job, and start paying taxes.  

…Not to mention paying back your student loans.

Here are 15 struggles any recent grad will relate to.

Hopefully this list makes you feel less alone, because as it turns out, you’re not the only one who thinks adulting is really, really hard.

1. You start to have recurring nightmares about crippling student debt.

2. Waking up every day for a 9-to-5 job seems impossible after four mostly-nocturnal years.

3. The rollercoaster of looking forward to summer, only to realize you’ll be spending it in an office, is absolutely brutal.
