I remember the feeling like it was yesterday. Broke in college --> 32k salary and then a few years later getting a 50k salary. The advice thus far has been great. Max Roth, 401k to match, set aside for emergencies and short/long term goals. Don't forget to live a little!
Congrats!
BTW - you will quickly adjust to your new income, don't let your "lifestyle inflation" exceed your income inflation. If you can bank half of every raise you get from here on out you will be in good shape. Keep your fixed expenses low and don't live beyond your means
