So you’ve graduated from college. Congratulations! Are you ready to enter the real world?

Arrianne Talma of Red Alert Politics has created a handy checklist for you.

7 signs you’re not prepared for the real world

Just because you’ve walked across the stage at graduation and received your diploma doesn’t necessarily mean you’re ready to enter the real world.

According to a recent Rasmussen Reports study, a whopping 48 percent of all Americans believe that recent college grads don’t have the skills needed to get a job post-graduation.

Not sure if your degree has prepared you for life beyond the classroom? Here are some signs that it hasn’t or you’re clearly not using it properly.

1. Waking up at 9:00am when your job began at 8:30am
You got the job, which is a task in itself in the current job market. Don’t screw it up by forgetting to set your alarm.

2. Wearing your whiskey cologne from the night before
Nothing’s wrong with having a little fun, but don’t overdo it. If you’re going to go out on a weeknight, make sure you get home with enough time to sleep off your inebriated state, and for everyone’s sake, shower away that stale whiskey scent in the morning.

3. Complaining about the long, hard hours
With the unemployment rate for 18- to 29-year-olds in April at 11.1 percent, you should be happy you have a job in the first place.
