You know you're out of college when ...

1. Your salary is less than your tuition.
2. Your potted plants stay alive.
3. Shacking in twin-sized beds seems absurd.
4. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
5. You have to pay your own credit card bill.
6. Mac and cheese no longer counts as a well balanced meal.
7. You haven't seen a soap opera in more than a year.
8. 8am is not early.
9. You have to file your own taxes.
10. You hear your favorite song on the elevator at work.
11. You don't get carded anymore.
12. You carry an umbrella.
13. You learn that "bachelor" is a nicer term for jackass.
14. "Extended childhood" only really pertained to your salary, which is a little less than your allowance used to be.
15. "Twenty-something" means overqualified, underpaid and not married.
16. Your friends marry instead of hook up and divorce instead of break up.
17. You start watching the Weather Channel.
18. Jeans and baseball caps aren't staples in your wardrobe.
19. You can no longer do shots, and smoking gives you a sinus attack.
20. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 7.
21. You stop confusing 401(k) plan with 10K run.
22. You go to parties that the police don't raid.
23. Adults feel comfortable telling jokes about sex in front of you.
24. You don't know what time Wendy's closes anymore.
25. Your car insurance goes down.
26. You refer to college students as kids.
27. You drink wine, scotch and martinis instead of beer, bourbon and rum.
28. The beer you do drink doesn't have to be what's on sale.
29. Your parents start making casual remarks about grandchildren.
30. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of Taco Bell.
31. You're on the computer more than you're on the telephone.
32. You no longer go out for something to eat in pajama pants and your sorority or fraternity sweatshirt.
33. "The walk of shame" is now that long walk from the boss's office back to your cubicle.
34. You're excited to hear to hear those two words you hated for four years: "LAST CALL!"
35. The friends you're making now just don't seem to measure up.
