Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
