Yup, I remember.
It was hard a first. Especially the first couple of months. It was tough going from the college environment where I still felt protected and so accustomed by that lifestyle. I was the first of many of my good friends to graduate. My roommate and boyfriend both had another semester left. While I was getting up at 7am to go to work, they were staying up until 7am partying! I had to worry about my 401K, my health insurance (I was now under my own work insurance rather than my dad's), and how to make myself seem incredibly professional at work although I was only entry-level. It's was tough but I got use to it. I still miss the fun times in college but I don't think I want to go back to it. When I come home from work, I have the whole evening to myself. I can go to the gym, cook, run errands and not have to worry about studying. The weekends are now my playtime for hanging out with friends. Also, I was so poor in college and I definitely like that I now have the money to buy things!
It's a tough transition to make but you eventually get use to it.
