Are you happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time? Then you are either 22, Taylor Swift, or graduating. Graduation brings a lot of emotions, so you're probably feeling all the feels right now. This is the day you realize you spent 16+ years of your life cramming for tests, hunting down scantrons, and begging for extra credit in school. All of this amounts to one walk across a stage, wearing a robe, and collecting a piece of paper. The real world is a scary place and universities don't offer Adulting 101, so how do we know we're ready?

Here are all the things you're probably feeling coming up on graduation:

1. Relief

No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks. Even if you aren't sure of what you're going to do, the heavy weight that's been on your shoulders for the last four years has finally been lifted. This is what real freedom feels like. You pushed through all the struggles to get that piece of paper. You earned that degree. You have that cap and gown and you should flaunt it across that stage.

This is what happens when you are a poor 20-something-year-old eating a bowl of ramen and stressing about your law final. Degrees are nonrefundable. You start to question why you spent thousands of dollars on "finding yourself." You might not have your dream job or you might not even have a job. Will all of this be worth it? Will I get a return on my investment? Why didn't I buy the Apple care package?

3. Available

Now what? You find yourself having more free time than you are used to. You can watch Netflix guilt free because you don't have a test to study for or an essay to write. Someone might ask you to hang out and you can no longer say, "No, I can't. I have homework," even though you just want to stay home and pet your cat. This concept of free time is new and exciting. You might even have time for a hobby! I hear adults have a few of those.

4. Hopeful

Things will work out and come your way. Take Tina Fey, who was working at a YMCA at this point in her life, and J.K. Rowling, who was writing a novel on napkins. You just KILLED your last final. No one can stop you now. You have goals and dreams and now you are one step closer to achieving them! Embrace the uncertainty, the chaos and the unknown.

College was probably one of the most challenging things you've done in your life. You are the Harry Potter of the undergrad world! You can do anything, be anything! With a degree comes a lot more responsibility, but it also comes with a sense of pride. In the United States, only 30 percent of people graduate from college, according to The New York Times. College is hard, man. You may not have a job or a cushy salary, and you might still live at home. OWN IT! You are a college graduate. This is an exciting milestone in life. You have been waiting for this moment since you learned how to spell your name. The pressures of academic life are all pushed aside and Fat Joe lyrics start to blast in your head, "Nothing can stop me I'm all the way up!"

6. Terrified

This could be the scariest point in your life as of right now. Maybe you're moving. Maybe you have some tough decisions to make. Maybe you're going for your master's, or you just booked a plane ticket to Europe. There are so many options for graduates after college. How does one know which way is right? It is time to put those adult skills you supposedly learned over the years to the test. College is ending and life is starting. What a terrifyingly glorious concept.

All of these feelings jumble together and create an emotion the English language hasn't come up with a word for yet. But if you are graduating college, you know exactly what I am talking about. The only thing you are certain about is that the last four years went by way too fast.
