Our little, Gleeful high school graduate (well, in TV land) is celebrating his 22nd birthday today!

And the only scenario we can picture for Chris Colfer's special day, is of him roaming the streets while bursting into song.

Oh, it's not just us?

Although Colfer's Kurt Hummel has moved on from McKinley High, it won't be the last we see of him on Glee (thank goodness).

But the actor has some other projects up his sleeve, like writing and starring in Struck by Lightning, a dark, irreverent coming-of-age comedy that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and includes Allison Janney, Dermot Mulroney, Polly Bergen, Christina Hendricks, Angela Kinsey, Sarah Hyland and Bridesmaids' Rebel Wilson.

"I hope this movie inspires inspiration," he said of the film, out in theaters later this year.

Setting such a great example at such a young age, we couldn't be prouder.
