Those of you who are familiar with Matt Bellassai — the no bullshit Senior Editor at BuzzFeed, star of their “Whine About It” vlog, champion drinker and karaoke extraordinaire — will know just how on point and hilarious his twitter can be. A 24 years old graduate of Northwestern University, he has navigated the ups, downs, and every day struggles of Post Grad life in NYC. His candid (and did I mention hilarious?) tweets got me like “🙌 🙌 🙌” on the regular. Matt Bellassai is to post grad struggles as Taylor Swift is to every teenage girl’s love life. They just get it. Sorry Hannah Horvath, but I think Matt Bellassai takes the cake for voice of our generation.

See what I mean? Now for 17 more times Mr. Bellassai perfectly articulated the woes of adulting (or at least trying to) in 2015…

Questioning just about everything you say and do

Turning your underwear inside out because laundry is the worst

Finally doing said laundry and expecting someone to throw you a parade because, again, laundry is the worst.

Actually, just expecting treats and rewards for practically anything you do that requires any morsel of energy

At least having the freedom to be financially irresponsible (i.e. broke) can make you feel adulty…ish?

But like, sorry, saving money is actually impossible.

Even when you attempt to be frugal, it backfires right in your face

So instead of checking your bank account, you play credit card roulette and wonder, every time, if today will be the day it finally gets declined.

Not being able to afford real furniture and realizing that IKEA is only cute and fun when you’re on a date with Joseph Gordon-Levitt

When your worst nightmare becomes a reality and your life is basically ruined

Coming up with any remotely believable excuse to not to have to get out of bed for work

Realizing that having a job, or rather, adulthood in general, requires that you actually talk on the telephone every now and then *shudder*

Feeling like you finally have your shit together because you did one semi-responsible thing (and subsequently wanting to tell everyone how adult you are)

Somehow being able to remember to pay your bills on time, but never to put on deodorant before you leave the house.

Coming to the realization that no one ever taught you anything you actually need to know to function properly in society…

…so your resume turns out looking something like this

And finally, just generally having no idea what’s going on half the time

Matt Bellassai, you are the light and the way. May Beyonce’s light shine down on you forever, and may Harry Styles always answer your tweets.
